Critical issues will be addressed, but\nno new features are being worked on. However, this is due to a lack of funding\nand/or manpower more than anything else, so pull requests are more than welcome.\nIn addition, if you are able and willing to contribute to this project long-term,\nwe would like to invite you to apply for co-maintainership.\n\nFor more details, see [The Future of Bandwhich #275](https://github.com/imsnif/bandwhich/issues/275).\n\n## How does it work?\n\n`bandwhich` sniffs a given network interface and records IP packet size, cross referencing it with the `/proc` filesystem on linux, `lsof` on macOS, or using WinApi on windows. It is responsive to the terminal window size, displaying less info if there is no room for it. It will also attempt to resolve ips to their host name in the background using reverse DNS on a best effort basis.\n\n## Installation\n\n### Downstream packaging status\n\nFor detailed instructions for each platform, see [INSTALL.md](INSTALL.md).\n\n\u003ca href=\"https://repology.or",
