## What it is
somo is a Rust-based CLI tool that serves as a human-friendly alternative to netstat for inspecting socket and port connections on Linux and macOS. It presents connections in a filterable, sortable table view and supports interactive process killing plus JSON and custom output formats.

## Use cases
- find which process is listening on a port
- inspect open TCP and UDP connections in a readable table
- kill a process occupying a port interactively
- filter connections by remote IP, port, program, or PID
- export socket information as JSON for scripting
- replace netstat -tulpn with a friendlier command

## When to choose
- you want a modern, readable replacement for netstat on Linux or macOS
- you need to quickly identify and kill processes bound to ports
- you want machine-readable socket output (JSON/custom formats) for automation

## When to avoid
- you need Windows support
- you need deep packet inspection or traffic capture rather than socket listing
- you require netstat-compatible flags or scripts
