Example
-------

```js
var vnstat = require ('vnstat-dumpdb') ();

// Get traffic per day
vnstat.getStats ('eth0', function (err, data) {
if (err) {
console.log (err);
return;
}

console.log (data.traffic.days);
});

// Read config setting
vnstat.getConfig (function (err, config) {
if (err) {
console.log (err);
return;
}

console.log ('Interfaces updating every ' + config.UpdateInterval + ' minutes');
});
```

Installation
------------

Make sure you have **vnStat v1.13** or later.

`npm install vnstat-dumpdb`

Configuration
-------------

The module loads as a function to override the defaults:

setting | type | required | default | description
--------|--------|----------|---------|----------------------
bin | string | no | vnstat | Path to vnstat binary
iface | string | no | | i.e. `eth0` or `false` to list all

Callback & errors
-----------------

Each method below takes a callback _function_ which gets two arguments:

* `err` - Instance of `Error` or `null`
* `data` - Result `object` or not set when error

```js
function myCallback (err, data) {
if (err) {
console.log (err);
console.log (err.stack);
return;
}

console.log (data);
}
```

#### Errors

message | description | additional
------------------|-----------------------------------|---------------------------
no config | Can't load config for `getConfig` | `err.details`, `err.error`
invalid data | Can't read stats for `getStats` | `err.details`
invalid interface | `iface` is invalid or not set up |

getStats ( [iface], callback )
--------

Get statistics for one, multiple or all interfaces.

* One: `vnstat.getStats ('eth0', callback)`

// Output

```

getConfig ( callback )
---------

Get vnStat configuration.
