wminet(1)wminet(1)NAMEwminet - Network Statistics Monitor for WindowMaker
SYNOPSISwminet [ -v ] [ -i <name> ] [ -u <delay> ] [ -h ]
DESCRIPTIONwminet is a WindowMaker Dock.app that graphically displays network
traffic. The data throughput is sampled once a second and displayed on
a scrolling graph.
The application window is divided into three sections.
Graph Most of the window consists of the graph. This graph shows the
profile of the network traffic. Every second the contents are
scrolled to the left as a new data point is added to the right
hand side. The graph itself is divided into two sections. The
upper half displays the incoming traffic, the lower half handles
the outgoing traffic. Both portions are displayed at the same
scale. The scale is set to the maximum data rate that's dis‐
played in the window. This scale is also displayed as a number
and is shown in the lower left corner of the graph.
Label The upper left section displays the currently selected inter‐
face. To switch to a different interface, click anywhere in the
label.
Status The upper right section contains three LEDs. The leftmost LED,
when "lit", indicates the current interface is up. The middle
LED indicates the current interface is running. The rightmost
LED is red and indicates the current interface is in promiscuous
mode.
One final note: Even though this is intended to be a WindowMaker appli‐
cation, it still should work under other window managers.
OPTIONSwminet supports several command line options:
-v Displays the current version and then exits.
-i <name>
Specifies the network interface that should be displayed.
-u <delay>
Specifies the delay between samples. The delay is given in sec‐
onds and defaults to 1 second between samples.
-h Print out help text.
HISTORY
This program started as a port of WMiFS. The original version was writ‐
ten for Linux and had Linux-specific code scattered throughout the
source.
Although this version is BSD-specific, all the statistic gathering rou‐
tines are in a separate module. All information is obtained through the
module's interface. It's now easier to port WMNet to Linux than it is
to port WMiFS to BSD!
