        ======
        
        Display simple throughput statistics for network interface controllers.
        Requires Linux kernel >= 2.6
        
        Output can be viewed in terminal. Additionally you’ll find the output in
        a file suitable for parsing from within your application. The program
        can be executed as daemon to provide you reliable network throughput
        numbers at any given time.

        Method 1: Packaged installation
        
        ::
        
            $ # make sure easy_install it there (debian): 
            $ sudo apt-get install python-setuptools
            $ sudo easy_install ifstat  
        
        Method 2: Source installation
        
        ::
        
            $ git clone https://github.com/prinzdezibel/ifstat  
            $ cd ifstat  
            $ python setup.py develop  
        
        Run program
        -----------
        
        ::
        
            $ ifstat --help
        
        File based program output
        -------------------------
        
        Start program as foreground or daemon process. Throughput numbers will
        be written to a file periodically:
        
        ::
        
            $ cat /var/lib/ifstat/thruput.txt
        
        Parse this file to retrieve relevant data for your application.
