maybe "ifstat -S 1 1" is a goog choice

from tmux-powerline.

Might me, the ifstat I have locally don't have the -S switch though so I can't test it.

from tmux-powerline.

My ifstat is at version 1.1, and ifstat 1 1 still works fine, first number specified the update time, and second number specified the number of updates before stopping. Thus, we can get one data every time.

I see this happened way back in 2012... and even back then, @erikw said their ifstat didn't have a -S opt. None of the machines I've checked have that option...

$ ifstat -S
ifstat: invalid option -- 'S'
Usage: ifstat [OPTION] [ PATTERN [ PATTERN ] ]
   -h, --help           this message
   -a, --ignore         ignore history
   -d, --scan=SECS      sample every statistics every SECS
   -e, --errors         show errors
   -j, --json           format output in JSON
   -n, --nooutput       do history only
   -p, --pretty         pretty print
   -r, --reset          reset history
   -s, --noupdate       don't update history
   -t, --interval=SECS  report average over the last SECS
   -V, --version        output version information
   -z, --zeros          show entries with zero activity
   -x, --extended=TYPE  show extended stats of TYPE

... and neither do they have a -q, so this segment silently does nothing for me. What was the purpose of the -S and -q options?

@ryran I see that the ifstat from Homebrew has the -S option.

If you are on Linux, maybe see if the segment ifstat_sys works better for you?
