This is not perfect this is something i whipped up one late afternoon cause i wanted it, it's built and tested on a mac and should work on both linux and windows, notice how i said should, thats because im not sure. So no whining if it doesnt work on your machine cause it might not, if thats the case fix it and setup a PR, please and thank you.
this is a small tribute to another similiar application called ports, which pretty much a simple script in bash that once upon a time helped me figure out why applications used what ports and why and it was pretty awesome.
