SYNOPSIS

iwd [options ...]

DESCRIPTION

Daemon for managing Wireless devices on Linux.

The iNet Wireless Daemon (iwd) project aims to provide a comprehensive Wi-Fi connectivity solution for Linux based devices. The core goal of the project is to optimize resource utilization: storage, runtime memory and link-time costs. This is accomplished by not depending on any external libraries and utilizes features provided by the Linux Kernel to the maximum extent possible. The result is a self-contained environment that only depends on the Linux Kernel and the runtime C library.

OPTIONS

--version, -v Show version number and exit. --help, -h Show help message and exit.
