   DESCRIPTION
   [...]

Hmm, I don't see -p

   [...]
      -p, --programs
          displays process name and PID of the owner of each  socket
          it dumps. You have to be the owner of such process to have
          all it's sockets matched to it or generally root user will
          see all the necessary information in place.

Ah, it's not in the synopsis, but _is_ described.

BTW: it should be "all its sockets", no apostrophe.
