What package is "isof" ?

[Jeremy Bícha (jbicha)]

lsof is part of ubuntu-standard and so is installed by default.

I believe it's a design decision to generally not show command line utilities in Ubuntu Software. Therefore, I'm closing this bug.

[Jeremy Bícha (jbicha)]

Oh, I see now that you typed "isof" instead of "lsof" but maybe you meant "lsof"?

[sdtqwe4ty (sdtqwe4ty)]

copied and pasted the latter into ubuntu softwasre and got nothing
