Lsof - command /usr/sbin/lsof

This parser reads the output of the /usr/sbin/lsof command and makes each line available as a dictionary keyed on the fields in the lsof output (with names in upper case).

Because of the large quantity of output from this command, this class is based on the Scannable parser class. There are several ways to use this:

  • If you simply want to know whether a search matched, use the any method.

  • If you want all lines that match, use the collect method.

The way these scanner functions work is:

  1. You provide a function, which returns True if a match is found, and an attribute name.

  2. The parser runs every scanner function across every line of data read and successfully parsed.

  3. The attribute then contains the result of the match (True or False in the case of the any method, or the list of matching rows in the case of the collect method.

As an easier way of finding all the lines that match by key=value pairs, use the collect_keys method, giving the name of the scanner attribute to set and one or more ‘key=value’ pairs in the method call. This then returns the list of rows for which the data in all those keywords matched the respective given values. (Note: the SIZE/OFF column is searched for using the key SIZE_OFF - see example below)

Examples

>>> Lsof.any('systemd_commands', lambda x: 'systemd' in x['COMMAND'])
>>> Lsof.collect('polkitd_user', lambda x: x['USER'] == 'polkitd')
>>> Lsof.collect_keys('root_stdin', USER='root', FD='0r', SIZE_OFF='0t0')
>>> l = shared[Lsof]
>>> l.systemd_commands
True
>>> len(l.polkitd_user)
2
>>> l.polkitd_user[0]['DEVICE']
'1,3'
>>> len(l.root_stdin)
2
>>> l.root_stdin[0]['COMMAND']

Bases: CommandParser, Scannable

A parser for the output of /usr/sbin/lsof - determines the column widths from the first row and then puts the data in each row into a dictionary keyed on the column name and found by the locations of each column. Leading and trailing spaces are stripped from data.

classmethod collect_keys(result_key, **kwargs)[source]

Store a list of lines having keyword=value matches in the given attribute name.

Keyword argument names that exist as column names in the data are searched for in the lines of the file and stored in the result_key attribute. All columns must match (i.e. this is a bolean AND search).

Call this class method before using the class data.

Examples

collect_keys(‘root_block_devs’, USER=’root’, TYPE=’BLK’)

parse(content)[source]

Parse the content for the entire input file.
