cxx-net-speed-monitor

cxx-net-speed-monitor is a command-line network speed monitor built with C++ using ncurses for a dynamic TUI (Text User Interface). It pings multiple servers in various regions (South Asia, CIS, EU, NA) and displays the speed dynamically with color-coded indicators (green, yellow, red) to reflect the network status.

Features

• Pings servers from different regions to check network latency and speed.
• Real-time dynamic updates on the network status.
• Color-coded output using ncurses for a simple and effective TUI display.
• Easy to use and extend for different server regions or metrics.

Usage

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/felixity1917/cxx-net-speed-monitor.git
   cd cxx-net-speed-monitor

2. Install the required packages (if not already installed):

   sudo pacman -S gcc ncurses iputils

3. Run the program:

   ./dist/cxx-net-speed-monitor

Building

Prerequisites

• C++20 or newer compiler (e.g., g++)
• ncurses library
• ping command (usually available by default on most Linux distributions)

Steps

1. Build the project:

   make

2. Package the release:

   make dist

   This will create a .tar.gz archive in the dist/ folder containing the executable and necessary headers.

3. Clean build artifacts:

   make clean

4. Clean everything, including distribution files:

   make dist-clean
