  • Add macOS support and UDP port handling

    Add macOS support and UDP port handling

    Description of the changes This PR introduces the following enhancements to the killport utility:

    1. macOS support: The utility now supports macOS in addition to Linux. This has been achieved by implementing a separate module for macOS-specific functionality.
    2. UDP port handling: In addition to TCP ports, killport can now also target processes listening on UDP ports. The utility will terminate processes using both TCP and UDP protocols on the specified ports.

    These improvements make the killport utility more versatile and extend its usage to a wider range of users and use cases.
