Projektgeschichte

Sveinbjörn Þórðarson began Sloth in 2004 and has maintained it as free, open-source macOS software. The application is written as a native Objective-C/Cocoa frontend to lsof and is released under the BSD 3-Clause license.

Adoptionsgeschichte

Sloth is distributed directly by its developer and through Homebrew Cask. Continued maintenance since 2004 has made it a longstanding macOS utility for users who need an approachable view of Unix process resources.

Wie es verwendet wird

Users filter or sort the resource list by process, path, access mode, volume, socket characteristics, or regular expression, then inspect details or perform contextual file operations. Sloth can authenticate within the application when a scan requires root privileges.

Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren

Sloth turns the output of the classic Unix lsof utility into a searchable native interface. It is useful when a package installer cannot replace a file, a volume cannot be unmounted, a port appears occupied, or a user needs to identify which process owns a socket or pipe.
