# sigstr (signal strength)

This is a utility to spit out some Wi-Fi stats.

What makes it a little bit interesting is that I wrote a small wrapper over

macOS API's `CWInterface` in Swift. Then I generated the assembly from the

Swift code and demangled the function names so I could use them in the main

C code avoiding linking issues.

This is probably a stupid way to obtain this information* but it was fun.

\* Well, yes it is. It appears that clicking the Wi-Fi icon while holding ⌥

gives you this info.

## building

You will probably need the standard XCode CLI stuff and Python3. Then just

```bash

$ make

$ ./sigstr

ssid:           my-cool-network

mode:           802.11n

rssi:           -70 dBm

noise:          -78 dBm

transmit power: 1496 mW

transmit rate:  73.00 Mbps (600 max)

```
