NAME
       wutui --	WiFi utility TUI

SYNOPSIS
       wutui [-h]
       wutui [-c wpa-ctrl-path]

DESCRIPTION
       wutui  is  a  WiFi management TUI. It displays the current WiFi status,
       known-networks and available scanned access points.  It	supports  sta-
       tion-mode  operations  like scanning access points, connecting and dis-
       connecting from access points.	It  interacts  with  wpa-supplicant(8)
       over    its   control   interface   and	 automatically	 updates   the
       wpa-supplicant.conf(5) and provides keybindings to forget a  known-net-
       work  and  set priority and autoconnect options on known-networks.  The
       CLI is wutil(8).
