💖 wifi-menu — the manual page, but make it cute 💖

okay bestie, so this is wifi-menu from the General Commands Manual section (section 1, the "commands you actually type" girlies). she's a little wireless settings dialog for netctl, and honestly? she's serving convenience. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

wifi-menu — wireless settings dialog for netctl 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

wifi-menu [-h | --help] [-o | --obscure] [INTERFACE]

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so what does she do? wifi-menu interactively connects you to a wireless network on INTERFACE, and she does it using netctl. that's the whole vibe — you point her at a wireless interface, she pulls up a dialog, you pick your network, you're in. 💖

and here's the cute part: if there's only one wireless interface available on your system, you can just straight up omit INTERFACE. she'll figure it out. she's smart like that. no cap. 👑

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -h, --help — shows you this help. classic. iconic. the "wait what was I doing" button 🙈
  • -o, --obscure — two things at once, bestie, pay attention: it shows asterisks for the characters of the password and stores the password as a hexadecimal string. so like, hidden on screen, hex'd on disk. obsessed with the double duty 💅✨

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥
