What are the main differences to something like nethogs or iftop?

[jxf]

They are similar but they answer different questions.

By default, iftop will tell you "this network interface on your machine is talking a lot to ycombinator.com". But you don't necessarily know which processes are doing the most talking collectively.

This will tell you "Firefox process 4567 is talking a lot ycombinator.com" and you'll know whether 4567 is also one of the chattiest talkers right now.

But that's what nethogs does.

nethogs doesn't have the raw output mode. That could be useful. I'd take nethogs' real time display and what's raw output.

Looks like nethogs dones't work well on macos.

You try one of those first, then what's on second

[reaperducer]

But `whois` on first.

[kgersen]

it's trendy to reinvent the wheel with Rust ?

[ragebol]

It certainly is, but there is a merit to `what` too, in a different way of presenting the data.

What's wrong if someone want to make yet another x.

[recrof]

nothing. but it's useful to know if you need it if you already use similar tool.

Works on windows, osx too :)

[uranusjr]

The project page says it does not work on Windows.

Oh, I stopped reading at the install command, but can confirm, build fails :D
