Small linux utility to identify what listens on a port or is using a file, and display information about it. **Install** by running `cargo install usedby` - requires cargo from Rust. **Example use**: the program comes with a handy help output that shows all options, here's some example uses: Run `usedby port 8080`, or with the repository open `cargo run port 8080`. It will print something like ``` PID UID EXE CMD 120509 1000 /usr/bin/nc.openbsd nc -v -v -l 8080 2819 1000 /usr/bin/bash /bin/bash 2575 1000 /usr/bin/konsole /usr/bin/konsole -session 1073696c6f000165851079800000023940020_1707684371_75586 2339 1000 /usr/bin/ksmserver /usr/bin/ksmserver 1512 1000 /usr/lib/systemd/systemd /lib/systemd/systemd --user 1 0 ? /sbin/init splash ``` In this example the process `nc` (netcat) with the process id 120509 is listening on port 8080, it was started from a bash terminal running in Konsole on a KDE system with systemd. The first line explains columns, second line shows the process listening on port 8080, following lines has each parent process until there are no more parents or the user has unsufficient permissions to read information about the process. Usedby can also display information about processes that is reading or writing a file. Ex. ``` $ usedby file ./test.txt PID UID EXE CMD 121382 1000 /usr/bin/tail tail -f test.txt 2807 1000 /usr/bin/bash /bin/bash 2575 1000 /usr/bin/konsole /usr/bin/konsole -session 1073696c6f000165851079800000023940020_1707684371_75586 2339 1000 /usr/bin/ksmserver /usr/bin/ksmserver 1512 1000 /usr/lib/systemd/systemd /lib/systemd/systemd --user 1 0 ? /sbin/init splash ```
