✨ netdevstat(8) ✨

okay bestie, gather round — this is netdevstat(8), the manual page for a tool that records network activity. It's giving sysadmin main character energy and honestly? We're obsessed. 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

netdevstat — a tool for recording network activity. That's it, that's the whole job. Lowkey iconic. 🦋

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

netdevstat [update interval] [total duration] [display histogram]

Not me showing you the exact incantation 💅 — yes, the arguments are optional, and yes, they go in that order. Periodt.

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So here's the tea, fr fr: netdevstat is a simple systemtap script that records the network activity of processes and displays statistics for transmit/receive operations. Basically it's the bestie who watches your network traffic and then hands you the receipts. 🔥

🌈 update interval

Sets the sampling interval in seconds. How often should it peek at what's going on? You decide, queen. ⏱️

🦋 total duration

Sets the total measurement time in seconds. The clock starts, the clock stops, and then we get the data. No cap. ⏳

🍓 display histogram

If this parameter is present, the histogram will be shown at the end of the measurement. That's the whole vibe check — no parameter, no histogram, it's literally that simple. 📊✨

Heads up bestie: these three are positional arguments in the synopsis, and the histogram one only kicks in if you actually pass it. Don't come for me, I'm just the messenger. 🙈
