✨ WMIFS(1) — the wmifs girlies' manual ✨

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for wmifs — a dockable network traffic monitor, and yes she's iconic, she's giving main character energy on your desktop, and she's about to tell you everything. 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

wmifs — a dockable network traffic monitor

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

wmifs [-d <display name>] [-i <interface name>] [-l] [-w] [-h] [-v]

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

WMiFS is a dockable applet for X11 that can monitor all your network interfaces. no cap, all of them. She's designed for WindowMaker's Dock and AfterStep's Wharf, but honestly? she's not dependent on those window managers at all, and she should work with literally any other one. lowkey flexible like that. 💁‍♀️

She can display the net load using a standard bar graph or using a waveform mode — your choice, your aesthetic. She also displays the state of the interface with a group of leds ✨ (yes, lil blinking leds, obsessed).

Clicking on the interface name will cycle to the next interface in the system. and bestie — users can define commands to be executed when the different mouse buttons are pressed on the main window. so you can make your clicks do stuff. cute.

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -h — Show summary of options. (the "help me bestie" flag 🫶)
• -v — Show version of the program. (the "who even am i" flag 👑)
• -display <display name> — Use an alternate X display.
• -geometry +x+y — Set window position. put her where you want her 💅
• -i <interface name> — Interface that should come up initially when executing wmifs. If you use "auto" as interface name, the first active ("up") interface will be used. slay, she picks for you ✨
• -I <interval> — Sampling interval, in seconds (default: 0.05).
• -l — Starts wmifs in lock mode. Useful if combined with -i, if you want to monitor a, for example, ppp device which isn't up when wmifs is started. It won't switch to the next available interface. 🔒
• -s <interval> — Scrolling interval, in seconds (default: 5)
• -w — Use the waveform graph instead of the classic one. 🌊 the vibes, immaculate
• -c <color> — Set color. 🎨

🍓 FILES 🍓

• /etc/wmifsrc — system wide wmifs configuration file.
• ~/.wmifsrc — peruser wmifs configuration file.
