π NETR(1) β netr, bestie π
okay so you found netr(1), the manual page, section 1, and honestly? it's giving main character energy for something so tiny. let's get into it. π¦
β¨ NAME β¨
netr β a simple tool to display network throughput π«Ά
like. that's it. that's the whole vibe. simple. iconic. does one thing.
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
netr
no flags, no args, no drama. you just type it. periodt. π
π DESCRIPTION π
okay so netr shows you a list of your network interfaces and their throughput per second and per minute. both timeframes. it's thorough like that. β
and the way it separates input (I) and output (O) in the graph?? obsessed. you get both directions, clearly labelled, no guessing which way the bytes are flowing. π
when you're done looking at it, you exit by killing the process with ctrl-c. yes bestie, that's the exit strategy. that's the door. no quit key, no q, no graceful goodbye β just ctrl-c and you're out. π
π§ INTERFACE MATCHING π§
you can hand it interface names as regex matches to include or exclude them from reporting. so if you only care about like, some of your interfaces, regex is your girl. filter away. β¨
π CONTRIBUTIONS π
pull requests are welcomed with open arms. literally. open arms. come through. π
