🌸 NAME 🌸

pethtool — display or change ethernet card settings. This is the PETHTOOL(8) manual page, bestie, so you’re in the right group chat. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

pethtool [OPTIONS] [<INTERFACE>]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so this script mimics ethtool behavior, no cap, but it’s written purely in python and the python module ethtool. It’s giving “same energy, different implementation,” and honestly? Obsessed. 💖
