Rust library to get processes listening on a TCP port in a cross-platform way.
Despite some Rust libraries to get process information already exist, none of them satisfies the need to get process ID and name of TCP listeners in a cross-platform way.
Some examples of existing libraries:
- netstat2: doesn't provide the process name (and it's unmaintained)
- libproc: only for Linux and macOS
- sysinfo: doesn't expose the sockets used by each process
This library wants to fill this gap, and it aims to be:
- Cross-platform: it currently supports Windows, Linux and macOS
- Performant: it internally uses low-level system APIs
- Simple: it exposes intuitive APIs to get details about the listening processes
- Lightweight: it has only the strictly necessary dependencies
- Windows
- Linux
- macOS
- BSD
- iOS
- Android
Add this to your Cargo.toml:
[dependencies]
listeners = "0.2"Get all the listening processes:
if let Ok(listeners) = listeners::get_all() {
for l in listeners {
println!("{l}");
}
}Output:
