Python version of zevv/lsofgraph
A small utility to convert Unix lsof output to a graph showing FIFO and UNIX interprocess communication.
Generate graph:
sudo lsof -n -F | python lsofgraph.py | dot -Tjpg > /tmp/a.jpg OR sudo lsof -n -F | python lsofgraph.py | dot -T svg > /tmp/a.svg
or add unflatten to the chain for a better layout:
sudo lsof -n -F | python lsofgraph.py | unflatten -l 1 -c 6 | dot -T jpg > /tmp/a.jpg OR sudo lsof -n -F | python lsofgraph.py | unflatten -l 1 -c 6 | dot -T svg > /tmp/a.svg
Note: In cases of handling large datasets, you might encounter a "maximum recursion depth exceeded" error. To work around this, you can increase the recursion limit in your Python environment by adding sys.setrecursionlimit(15000) in the lsofgraph.py script.
Graphviz contains utilities dot and unflatten
brew install Graphviz git clone https://github.com/akme/lsofgraph-python.git cd lsofgraph-python lsof -n -F | python lsofgraph.py | unflatten -l 1 -c 6 | dot -T jpg > /tmp/a.jpg && open /tmp/a.jpg lsof -n -F | python lsofgraph.py | unflatten -l 1 -c 6 | dot -T svg > /tmp/a.jpg && open -a Safari.app '/tmp/a.svg'
