preface

The traffic information can be directly in /proc/net/dev In view, the author of the implementation of the program using commands:

python net.py interface

Among them interface For the network card name, use what network card, the computer has what network card, can use

sudo ifconfig

Take a look.

The procedure of Python implementation is as follows:

# coding:utf-8
import sys, time, os

    time.sleep(1)

Program entry from if name=='main' First, get by parameter interface , and then call get_net_data() The function gets the traffic information, and the next step is to process the data.
