ifplugstatus is an utility which may be used to detect the link - status of a local Linux ethernet device, much in the same way - mii-diag, mii-tool and ethtool work. In fact it supports all - three different APIs these three tools use. In addition it supports - link checking with the IFF_RUNNING interface flag, which most modern - drivers (not only ethernet) support, and association status checking - with the wireless extension API for WLAN devices.

- -

The APIs are tried in the following order:

- -

First the newest API: SIOCETHTOOL (aka ethtool API)

-

Second the next older API: SIOCGMIIREG (aka mii-diag API)

-

Than the WLAN API: wireless extension (aka iwconfig API)

-

Followed by the cleanest API: IFF_RUNNING (aka ifconfig API)

- -

The oldest API (SIOCPRIV aka mii-tool API) is not tested since it is obsolete.

- -

ifplugstatus may be used in shell script since it returns the - current status as return value. It is especially useful to - detect the available APIs on the used network driver. (Option - -v)

+ +

Browse for mDNS/DNS-SD network services using the Avahi daemon.

+
-

You may specify an ethernet device on the command - line. Otherwise ifplugstatus will check all available network interfaces.

+

Specify a DNS-SD service type (e.g. _http._tcp) to browse for + on the command line, or -a to browse for all + available service types.
