Discovery

ifs is a lightweight Linux network interface monitor written in Rust. It lists network interfaces and IPv4 addresses in one-shot mode, and provides a terminal UI for real-time Rx/Tx bandwidth monitoring in interval mode.

Build

make build

Install

sudo make install

The default install path is /usr/local/bin/ifs. Override it with PREFIX, BINDIR, or INSTALL_PATH:

make build
sudo make install PREFIX=/usr

Packages

make package
make check-packages

Packages are written to dist/:

• ifs_<version>_amd64.deb
• ifs-<version>-1.x86_64.rpm

Usage

ifs
ifs --all
ifs -h
ifs -i
ifs -i --bits
ifs -i 0.5
ifs --interval 3

One-shot mode prints interface names and IPv4 addresses immediately. Monitor mode uses a terminal UI and adds Rx/Tx bandwidth columns. Rx/Tx rates default to byte units; pass --bits to show network-style bit units.
