Tools that interact with the system require a certain level of trust. For a 2 week old project (with 9k stars already?) with an AI generated README, I'll stick to the standard tools that already do this, thanks.

I'm interested in what the standard tools that do this are, got any names or links by chance?
I regularly use ps pstree lsof netstat ss and the /proc/ filesystem, and when containers are involved lsns nsenter and if it's flatpak sometimes flatpak enter
Learning how to use /proc/ is indispensable
And for realtime monitoring, in addition to your favourite top program for process info, there's also iostat and iftop which are very useful for IO and network monitoring respectively, but that's not really what the tool in this post was about.
Cool, thanks! I knew some of those but not all of them. Appreciate it!
