## Usage

### bandwidthmon (using rasciichart)

```bash
# Auto-select best interface
bandwidthmon

# Monitor specific interface (supports partial matching!)
bandwidthmon -i eth0
bandwidthmon -i realtek    # Matches "vEthernet (realtek)" on Windows
bandwidthmon -i wlan       # Matches "wlan0" on Linux

# Custom chart size
bandwidthmon -H 15 -W 100

# Show summary statistics
bandwidthmon -s

# Show download only
bandwidthmon -d

# Show upload only
bandwidthmon -u

# List available interfaces
bandwidthmon -l
```

### bandwidthmon2 (manual rendering)

Same arguments as `bandwidthmon`, but uses manual graph rendering:

```bash
bandwidthmon2 -i wlan0 -H 20 -s
```

## Command-line Options

## FAQ

**Q: How do I monitor multiple interfaces?**  
A: Run multiple instances in different terminals with `-i` for each interface.

**Q: Can I export the data?**  
A: Currently, the tool is for real-time monitoring only. Export functionality may be added in future versions.

**Q: The chart looks weird on my terminal**  
A: Ensure your terminal supports UTF-8 and box-drawing characters. Try a modern terminal like Alacritty, iTerm2, or Windows Terminal.
