NAME

Linux::net::dev - Perl extension for parsing /proc/net/dev

SYNOPSIS

  use Linux::net::dev;
  my $devs = Linux::net::dev::info();
  print "Devices (bytes read):\n";
  foreach (keys %$devs) {
    print "  $_ ($devs->{$_}->{rbytes})\n";
  }

DESCRIPTION

Linux::net::dev parses /proc/net/dev for network devices statistics. The package contains these functions:

info: This function returns hash reference. Keys are devices' ids and values are data hash references. Data hash has resource names for keys and their respective values as associated values.
dev: Takes device id as a single argument and returns that device's data.
devs: Takes list of device ids as arguments and returns array with those devices' data.

Recognized resources (data hash keys): rbytes, rcompressed, rdrop, rerrs, rfifo, rframe, rmulticast, rpackets, tbytes, tcarrier, tcolls, tcompressed, tdrop, terrs, tfifo, tpackets,

Resources begining with ``r'' are values for read data, and those begining with ``t'' are values for transmited data.

Package was built and tested on RedHat 7.2, kernel 2.4.7-10 and might not work on some other versions. Please report bugs along with your kernel version (uname -r or uname -a).
