There's a fine line between glorified and shoulder-standing.

This project gives full credit to the giant it stands upon.

README.md:

> Sloth is essentially a friendly, exploratory graphical user interface built on top of the lsof command line tool. The output of lsof is parsed and shown in a sortable, searchable outline view with all sorts of convenient additional functionality.

It’s literally right there in the first line of the description, yes.
