+# eznetstat: A command line application with netstat shortcuts
+
+Have you ever needed to remember how to check what process is on a port and forgotten how to do it? There are loads of netstat commands that can be tricky to remember. This is a work in progress command line application to give direct shortcuts to those netstat operations.
+
+## Options
+
+### -v, --version
+Show application version.
+
+### -h, --help
+Show help menu.
+
+### -c PORT, --check-port=PORT
+Get the name and process ID of the process running on a given port
+
+## TODO
+* Add the ability to kill process on port
+* Come up with other useful stuff
+* Write up contributors guide
+* Decide how to do documentation (probably Github wiki?)
+* Write man page (figure out how to do that lol)
+
+## Contributing
+I don't know that I'm ready for contributors yet because I don't have a good contributors guide. I do plan to eventually open this up to contributors. If you have any ideas for future operations, please feel free to open an issue, I am happy to discuss ideas!
