Indeed that would be awesome and help a lot with tracing network related calls.

I think you meant this lsof output, for instance from a wget invocation:

COMMAND     PID        USER   FD   TYPE    DEVICE SIZE/OFF     NODE NAME
wget    3695865 pombredanne    3u  IPv4 125707086      0t0      TCP
myhost.local:56120->ch3.sourceforge.net:http (ESTABLISHED)

How would you report this?

Would this work for the example above?:
3<socket:[125707086] IPv4, TCP, "myhost.local:56120",
"ch3.sourceforge.net:http">
where:
- IPv4 would be the type as reported by lsof(8)
- TCP, "myhost.local:56120" and  "ch3.sourceforge.net:http" would the
parts of the node name as reported by lsof(8)
