MRTG-IP-ACCT(1)

💖 MRTG-IP-ACCT 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to mrtg-ip-acct from the MRTG helper utilities — she's a lil one-job icon and she does that job flawlessly.

---

✨ NAME ✨

mrtg-ip-acct — returns the number of IP packets that have traversed a network interface 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

mrtg-ip-acct [<interface name>]

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

So here's the tea, bestie: mrtg-ip-acct returns the number of bytes that have been received and sent on a given interface. That's it. That's the whole gig. She's giving minimal effort but in a good way. 💅

The output gets written in a form that's useful as input for the mrtg utility. Like, she's literally built to hand her numbers straight over to mrtg — no editing, no fuss, no "let me reformat this real quick". Slay. 🔥

If you don't give her an interface name? No stress. The default is eth0. She just assumes, lowkey confidently. ✨

ngl bestie, the NAME up there says packets and the body says bytes — I'm just reporting what the page says, I do not make the rules 🙈
