## Description

Somo is a command line network utility and connection monitor used for filtering, sorting, and formatting network connection lists. It functions as an interactive process killer, allowing users to identify and terminate network processes based on their active connection data.

The tool provides specialized network monitoring capabilities, including active socket and port tracking with port-to-service name resolution. It enables the administration of system sockets by sending termination signals to close specific network connections.

Data management is handled through predicate-based filtering by protocol, port, or address, and column-based sorting. Output is rendered in table, compact, or JSON formats for diverse consumption. To optimize workflow, the utility supports configuration-file preference persistence and generates shell-specific completion scripts.
