  Description     : Terminal bandwidth utilization tool

Bandwhich is a CLI utility for displaying current network utilization by
process, connection and remote IP/hostname, written in Rust.
.
It works by sniffing a given network interface and records IP packet
size, cross referencing it with the /proc filesystem (or lsof). It is
responsive to the terminal window size, displaying less info if there is
no room for it. It will also attempt to resolve ips to their host name
in the background using reverse DNS on a best effort basis.

Dear Rust team,

Please consider adding this to the rust packages library in Debian :)

Cheers,

nodens

Thanks!

twb suggested on IRC to change the short desc (which I just copy/pasted
from upstream) to "terminal-based bandwidth utilization tool", to make
it clearer (it's not the terminal's bandwidth that's measured).

Hi,

current problem is that some more rust dependencies are missing in
Debian for building bandwhich, like async-trait, pnet-bandwhich-fork,
procfs, tokio+sync (maybe) and trust-dns-resolver

Hi,

I am sorry but I will not continue packaging bandwhich. rust packaging
in Debian is a bit of ... for me. :)
I think it is better if someone else with more rust Debian know how will
take care of this great software, who is also able to add the missing
rust dependencies.
