Severity: minor
I find little disturbance in ss output, when done on terminal (this is not
issue when using
ss in scripts).
# /sbin/ss -4

"nt' from "xmpp-client", will always be on separate line, regardless who wide
my terminal will be.
There are multiple possible options to solve this.
1) enlarge it from 9 character (10 including zero), to 16.
# awk '{print $1;}' /etc/services | grep -v '^#' | wc -L
16
#
Inspecting it gives some more common long services,
like kerberos_master, afs3-fileserver, gisgatekeeper, dhcpv6-client, microsoft-
ds,
and many more which will still not fit into 9 characters.
Unfortunately fixing this to 16 characters, is both waste of space when it is
not needed
(most names fit in 6 characters, including not resolved ones),
as well can break if somebody will add service with longer name (for example
manually).
(Scanning first services to determine longest one is also not an options,
as it is waste of resources, as well is impossible if service names are stored
not in plain fail,
but other nss mechanism).
2) Enlarge it to 16 characters, if terminal have at least 140 characters width.
(I commonly use terminal of width 230 characters).
3) scan or perform two passes to determine length of longest service name.
4) truncate explicitly service name, at 9 (I would prefer 11) characters, and
eventually
use some character (like ellipsis, with Unicode point U+2026) to indicate
truncation.
What you think?
