WMIFINFO(1)
π wmifinfo β the little dockapp that spills ALL the tea on your network π
okay bestie, listen. this is wmifinfo, section 1 of the General Commands Manual, and it is literally the cutest way to peek at your network interfaces. no cap.
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
wmifinfo [OPTIONS]
that's it. that's the whole vibe. π
πΈ DESCRIPTION πΈ
so wmifinfo is a simple applet that shows basic network info for all available interfaces. and when I say basic, I mean the essentials that you actually care about:
- IP address
- netmask
- gateway
- MAC address
it's giving ifconfig energy but make it a tiny dockapp, and honestly? obsessed. π
now here's the interactive part, and it's so fun:
- Left-button click β moves you to the next interface. swipe left on your own network stack, periodt. π¦
- Right-button click β calls the ifup/ifdown scripts. bringing interfaces up and down like the main character you are. π
and fr fr, if you find any bugs, please report them. the author said so and we respect that. π
π OPTIONS π
here's the rundown, bestie. a summary of options is included below β all six of them, no skipping, no summarising, we keep every single one. β
-hβ show a summary of options. your little help menu moment. π-vβ show the version of the program. gotta know which era of wmifinfo you're living in. β¨-d <cmd>β command to exec for iface-down. this is your "take it down" script slot. π-i <interface>β start with the given interface, if it's available. pick your fave, no judgement. π-lβ LCD display mode. yes, LCD. retro-cute, iconic, no notes. π-uβ command to exec for iface-up. the "bring it back up" counterpart. π§
