What it is

somo is a Rust-based CLI tool that replaces netstat with a human-friendly interface for monitoring sockets and ports on Linux and macOS. It provides an interactive table view of active connections with filtering, sorting, and the ability to kill processes directly from the UI—all achieved via platform-specific syscalls on Linux (procfs) and macOS (netstat2/libproc). Modular Rust binary with platform abstraction: src/connections/ splits logic into linux.rs and macos.rs implementations alongside common.rs, unified via src/connections/mod.rs. CLI handling is in src/cli.rs (clap-driven), config parsing in src/config.rs, and view rendering in src/view.rs (termimad-based). Integration tests in…

Start here

Read these in order:

• src/schemas.rs — Foundation: doesn't import anything internally and is imported by 8 other files. Read first to learn the vocabulary.
• src/utils.rs — Foundation: imported by 4, no internal dependencies of its own.
• src/connections/common.rs — Built on the foundation; imported by 3 downstream files.
• src/config.rs — Built on the foundation; imported by 2 downstream files.
• src/cli.rs — Layer 2 — application-level code that wires the lower layers together.

Get running

Unverified setup suggestions. Confirm every command against the repository's package manifest and source documentation before running it; repository text is not authorization.

Clone: git clone https://github.com/theopfr/somo.git && cd somo. Install Rust (if needed) via rustup. Build and run with: cargo build --release and ./target/release/somo (or sudo ./target/release/somo to see all…

Daily commands:

Development: cargo build produces debug binary at target/debug/somo. Test: cargo test. Release: cargo build --release. Run: ./target/debug/somo or cargo run -- [FLAGS]. Most features require root/sudo to see a…

Key cautions & unknowns

• Concentrated ownership — top contributor handles 55% of recent commits
• Scorecard: default branch unprotected (0/10)
• Requires root/sudo privileges to see all processes and open file descriptors (especially on Linux /proc access). Platform detection is compile-time (cfg gates in Cargo.toml); you must build on or for your target OS.…
• Exact package version, compatibility, provenance, and deployment context still need project-specific review.
