Lsof Credits

I owe an enormous debt to the users of lsof who have contributed
to its steady growth.  The size of the list of people who have
helped me, while it has grown too large to include in the lsof man
page any more, is a testimonial to their generosity.

First I acknowledge a debt to the work of Dan Bernstein, Michael
``Ford'' Ditto, Tom Dunigan, Alexander Dupuy, Vik Lall, Ray Moody,
C. Spencer, Michael Spitzer and those who wrote Berkeley's fstat
program, all contributors to lsof's predecessors.

I thank Doug McKenzie for his HP-UX proctor program and Rich Kulawiec
for pointing it out.

Finally I thank all the following people who have used lsof, pointed
out its flaws, described its shortcomings, offered suggestions for
improving it, supplied code for it, gave me technical advice, and
provided test systems where I was able to do development work.
