Bandwidth Monitor 1.1.0

Bandwidth monitor is a very simple utility that allows the user to view the bandwidth
currently being consumed to and from each network interface, the total bandwidth in use on
each interface, and the total bandwidth in use on all interfaces.

The program continuously reads /proc/net/dev and calculates bandwidth based on the
interfaces listed there, updating about every two seconds.

To compile the program, simply type:  make

To specify an update time other than two seconds:  bwm [seconds].  Seconds must be a whole
number greater than 0.

To specify a file other than /proc/net/dev:  bwm [seconds] [filename].

If you have the inclination to do so, and you make this utility better, I would like to
know! Please drop me a line at barney@freewill.tzo.com.
