💖 wpa_gui — the manual page, but make it cute (8) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to wpa_gui(8) — section 8 of the manual, that's the sysadmin/system-management girlies section 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

wpa_gui — the WPA Graphical User Interface 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

wpa_gui [ -p path to ctrl sockets ] [ -i ifname ] [ -m seconds ] [ -t ]
[ -q ]

✨ OVERVIEW ✨

So wpa_gui is a QT graphical frontend program for interacting with wpa_supplicant. It is used to query current status, change configuration and request interactive user input. literally the whole point 💖

And get this — wpa_gui supports (almost) all of the interactive status and configuration features of the command line client, wpa_cli. The way that it's basically wpa_cli but with a face ✨ Refer to the wpa_cli manpage for a comprehensive list of the interactive mode features. iykyk 📖

🎀 COMMAND ARGUMENTS 🎀

• -p path — Change the path where control sockets should be found. she lives somewhere else now, respect her 🦋
• -i ifname — Specify the interface that is being configured. By default, choose the first interface found with a control socket in the socket path. first come, first served, no cap 🌸
• -m seconds — Set the update interval in seconds for the signal strength meter. This value must be a positive integer, otherwise meter is not enabled (default behavior). so like. be positive or she's simply not showing up 💀
• -t — Start program in the system tray only (if the window manager supports it). By default the main status window is shown. tiny icon era 👑
• -q — Run program in the quiet mode — do not display tray icon pop-up messages. not me silencing the notifications 🙈
