| 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. | |
