NAME
idlookup - identify the user of a particular TCP connection
SYNOPSIS
host-or-ip-number local-port foreign-port
DESCRIPTION
can be used to identify the user at the remote end of a TCP connection, assuming the host at the other end is running an Identification
Server.
host-or-ip-number is the name of the host at the other end of the connection, or its IP address.
local-port and foreign-port are the port numbers, or service names of the ports at the two ends of the connection.
WARNING
Note that the references to local-port and foreign-port follow the terminology in RFC931, and are from the point of view of the rather than
the user.
