"""
Fetches connection data (IP addresses and ports) associated with a given
process. This sort of data can be retrieved via a variety of common *nix
utilities:
- netstat   netstat -np | grep "ESTABLISHED <pid>/<process>"
- sockstat  sockstat | egrep "<process> *<pid>.*ESTABLISHED"
- lsof      lsof -wnPi | egrep "^<process> *<pid>.*((UDP.*)|(\(ESTABLISHED\)))"
- ss        ss -nptu | grep "ESTAB.*\"<process>\",<pid>"

all queries dump its stderr (directing it to /dev/null). Results include UDP
and established TCP connections.

FreeBSD lacks support for the needed netstat flags and has a completely
different program for 'ss'. However, lsof works and there's a couple other
options that perform even better (thanks to Fabian Keil and Hans Schnehl):
- sockstat    sockstat -4c | grep '<process> *<pid>'
- procstat    procstat -f <pid> | grep TCP | grep -v 0.0.0.0:0

  """
  Service that periodically queries for a process' current connections. This
  provides several benefits over on-demand queries:
  - queries are non-blocking (providing cached results)
  - falls back to use different resolution methods in case of repeated failures
  - avoids overly frequent querying of connection data, which can be demanding
    in terms of system resources
  
  Unless an overriding method of resolution is requested this defaults to
  choosing a resolver the following way:
  
  - Checks the current PATH to determine which resolvers are available. This
    uses the first of the following that's available:
      netstat, ss, lsof (picks netstat if none are found)
  
  - Attempts to resolve using the selection. Single failures are logged at the
    INFO level, and a series of failures at NOTICE. In the later case this
    blacklists the resolver, moving on to the next. If all resolvers fail this
    way then resolution's abandoned and logs a WARN message.
  
  The time between resolving connections, unless overwritten, is set to be
  either five seconds or ten times the runtime of the resolver (whichever is
  larger). This is to prevent systems either strapped for resources or with a
  vast number of connections from being burdened too heavily by this daemon.
  
  Parameters:
    processName       - name of the process being resolved
    processPid        - pid of the process being resolved
    resolveRate       - minimum time between resolving connections (in seconds,

    * defaultRate     - default time between resolving connections
    lastLookup        - time connections were last resolved (unix time, -1 if
