πŸ’– bandwhich(1) β€” General Commands Manual, folded in with love ✨

🌸 NAME

bandwhich β€” that’s it, that’s the name. The original NAME section is literally just this one word, so no invented tagline, bestie. The manual name β€œGeneral Commands Manual” is chilling up in the header where it belongs. 🫢

✨ SYNOPSIS

bandwhich [-i|--interface] [-r|--raw] [-n|--no-resolve] [-s|--show-dns]
       [-d|--dns-server] [--log-to] [-v|--verbose]... [-q|--quiet]...
       [-p|--processes] [-c|--connections] [-a|--addresses] [-u|--unit-family]
       [-t|--total-utilization] [-h|--help] [-V|--version]

πŸ’¬ DESCRIPTION

Okay so the original DESCRIPTION section is empty. Like, empty empty. No prose, no notes, no lore. I’m not gonna manifest fake facts just to fill the silence β€” the whole story is in the options below, and they are serving. πŸ’…


πŸ’… OPTIONS

Every single flag, no skips, no β€œoops I forgot one,” periodt. 🌈

  • -i, --interface=INTERFACE β€” the network interface to listen on, eg. eth0. That’s the one you point at, bestie. πŸ¦‹
  • -r, --raw β€” machine friendlier output. It’s giving robot-readable. πŸ€–βœ¨
  • -n, --no-resolve β€” do not attempt to resolve IPs to their hostnames. No hostname detective work, no cap. πŸ™ˆ
  • -s, --show-dns β€” show DNS queries. The DNS tea is getting spilled. πŸ“
  • -d, --dns-server=DNS_SERVER β€” a dns server ip to use instead of the system default. You’re picking the DNS server, main character style. πŸ‘‘
  • --log-to=LOG_TO β€” enable debug logging to a file. Logs? To a file? Iconic. πŸ“
  • -v, --verbose β€” increase logging verbosity. The synopsis has ..., so that’s the repeatable vibe. πŸ”₯
  • -q, --quiet β€” decrease logging verbosity. Also has ... in the synopsis. Shhh era. πŸ’€
  • -p, --processes β€” show processes table only. Just the processes table, nothing else. πŸŽ€
  • -c, --connections β€” show connections table only. Just the connections table. 🫢
  • -a, --addresses β€” show remote addresses table only. Just the remote addresses table. 🌸
  • -u, --unit-family=UNIT_FAMILY β€” choose a specific family of units. The source says [default: bin-bytes], so that’s the default vibe. Possible values:
    • bin-bytes β€” bytes, in powers of 2^10
    • bin-bits β€” bits, in powers of 2^10
    • si-bytes β€” bytes, in powers of 10^3
    • si-bits β€” bits, in powers of 10^3
  • -t, --total-utilization β€” show total (cumulative) usages. Cumulative? We love a totals moment. ⭐
  • -h, --help β€” print help. The original says (see a summary with '-h'), so there’s a summary moment too. πŸ’œ
  • -V, --version β€” print version. Short, sweet, slay. ✨

πŸŽ€ VERSION

v0.23.1 β€” that’s the version, periodt. πŸ‘‘


Bye bestie πŸ’– source/version from the footer is bandwhich 0.23.1, and the date? The original footer doesn’t list one, so I’m not inventing a timestamp β€” no cap, just mystery-era energy. ✨
