NAME

qnetload - Graphically display network speed and usage

SYNOPSIS

qnetload

DESCRIPTION

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.

USING QNETLOAD

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.

ORIGINAL IDEA FROM XNETLOAD

qnetload has the same look and feel as xnetload , which is no longer maintained.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.

FILES

${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.
