How do you get lsof
to produce numeric port information instead of attempting to resolve the port to service name?
For example, I want TCP *:http (LISTEN)
to give me TCP *:80 (LISTEN)
in-fact if at all possible I never want to see another service name in lsof
print-out ever again. So if there is a way to make numeric ports the default I would like to understand how to do that as well.
The lsof (list open files) command returns the user processes that are actively using a file system. It is sometimes helpful in determining why a file system remains in use and cannot be unmounted.
Run lsof -P
. According to man lsof
, -P
inhibits the conversion of port numbers to port names for network files. Inhibiting the conversion may make lsof run a little faster. It is also useful when port name lookup is not working properly."
Sometimes handy is:
lsof -Pi
When I tried losf -iP
it gave me some trash, so make sure P
goes first.
As a side note: lsof -3.14
will provide the same trash, don't try this.
