I'm not a great fan of the "command line tools are an API" approach,
but in this case it's definitely the best way.
IMPORTANT: "lsof" only deals with descriptors. Any socket that has
no descriptor (for example, sockets opened by the kernel code) will
not appear in the list. To see those you'll have to use alternative
techniques (perhaps the one suggested by Peter).
Can anyone else believe that these unix tools just don't take a
version number request?
When using "lsof" as an API, make sure to specify an explicit output
format using "-F". That generates output that's specifically
designed to be parseable. See <x-man-page://8/lsof> for details.

AFAIK this doesn't exist. Have you filed a bug requesting it? If
so, I'd love to see the bug number.
