luastatu...rk-linux(7)

🎀 Name 🎀

okay bestie, you're on the luastatu...rk-linux(7) page from the Miscellaneous Information Manual, and this one is literally about luastatu-plugin-network-linux — the Network plugin for luastatus (Linux-specific) 💅✨

🌐 Overview 🌐

So this plugin monitors network routing and link updates. It can report:

• IP addresses used for outgoing connections by various network interfaces,
• information about a wireless connection,
• and the speed of an ethernet connection.

It's giving network gossip, fr fr 🫶

✨ Options ✨

The following options are supported:

• ip — boolean. Whether to report IP addresses used for outgoing connections. Defaults to true. 👑
• wireless — boolean. Whether to report wireless connection info. Defaults to false. 🦋
• ethernet — boolean. Whether to report ethernet connection info. Defaults to false. 🍓
• timeout — number. If specified and not negative, requery information and call cb every timeout seconds.

Note that this is done on any routing/link update anyway, so this is only useful if you want to show the "volatile" properties of a wireless connection such as signal level, bitrate, and frequency. ⭐

📬 cb argument 📬

If the list of network interfaces cannot be fetched, nil.

Otherwise, a table where keys are network interface names (e.g. wlan0 or wlp1s0) and values are tables with the following entries (all are optional):

• ipv4, ipv6 — strings (only if the ip option is enabled) 💖
• wireless — table with following entries (only if the wireless option is enabled):
  • ssid — string. 802.11 network service set identifier (also known as the "network name"). 🎀
  • signal_dbm — number. Signal level, in dBm. Generally, -90 corresponds to the worst quality, and -20 to the best quality. 😭
  • frequency — number. Radio frequency, in Hz. 🌈
  • bitrate — number. Bitrate, in units of 100 kbit/s. 🔥
• ethernet — table with following entries (only if the ethernet option is enabled):
  • speed — number. Interface speed, in Mbits/s. 👑
