About

iwlib is a thin wrapper over the iw C library, providing access to wireless card information in supported systems.

Bug Reports

To submit bug reports you can use the [bug tracker over at Codeberg].

Installation

Using cabal-install

iwlib is available from Hackage, and you can install it using cabal-install:

    cabal install iwlib

From source

If you don't have cabal-install installed, you can get iwlib's source code in a variety of ways:

• From Hackage. Just download the latest release from xmobar's hackage page.

• From Codeberg. You can also obtain a tarball in Codeberg's downloads page. You'll find there links to each tagged release.

• From the bleeding edge repo. If you prefer to live dangerously, just get the latest and greatest (and buggiest, I guess) using git:

  git clone git://codeberg.org/xmobar/iwlib
  

If you have cabal installed, you can now use it from within its source tree:

    cabal install

Otherwise, run the configure script:

    runhaskell Setup.lhs configure

Now you can build the source:

    runhaskell Setup.lhs build
    runhaskell Setup.lhs install # possibly to be run as root

External dependencies

No other Haskell library is required, but you will need the iwlib C library and headers in your system (e.g., install libiw-dev in Debian-based systems or wireless_tools on Arch Linux).

Thanks

Many thanks to Leif Warner for suggesting the creation of this library and providing the initial hackage scaffolding.
