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.

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.

Name

       qnetload - Graphically display network speed and usage

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qnetload has the same look and feel as xnetload, which is no longer maintained.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

Synopsis

qnetload

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.
