qnetload - Graphically display network speed and usage
Graphically display network speed and usage.
- -i,
--interface=INTERFACE
- Display network INTERFACE. For example: eth0, wlan0. If unsure, do not
specify.
When running the interface can be changed by clicking on it.
Right-click on the interface to list the available interfaces.
- -h, --help
- Display help for commandline options.
- -v, --version
- Display version information.
- --help-all
- Display help including Qt-specific options.
Some features on qnetload might not obvious:
- Click on the interface to change it.
- Right-click anywhere on qnetload to display a contextual menu with the
list of interfaces, the IP and the version. The most common interfaces are
in bold (ethX, wlanX, etc.).
- There are two buttons: pause the accumulative counter of Downloaded and
Uploaded data and reset the counter. To reset the counters, click
twice.
- Clicking in the graph will display how much data has been downloaded and
uploaded since the position of the click and a projection for the next
hour's usage.
- Hover the mouse pointer over any of the numbers to display the meaning of
the value.
qnetload has the same look and feel as xnetload,
which is no longer maintained. The q in the name is because
qnetload is implemented using the Qt libraries.
- ${HOME}/.config/qnetload/qnetload.conf
- The last-used interface is saved here. This will be used the next time
qnetload is executed.
- /proc/net/dev
- This file, provided by the kernel, contains details of the network usage
and is read by qnetload to provide the displayed data.
