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 station-mode op-
     erations like scanning access points, connecting and disconnecting from ac-
     cess  points.   It interacts with wpa-supplicant(8) over its control inter-
     face and automatically updates the wpa-supplicant.conf(5) and provides key-
     bindings to forget a known-network and set priority and autoconnect options
     on known-networks.  The CLI is wutil(8).
