=head1 NAME

Linux::net::dev - Perl extension for parsing /proc/net/dev

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Linux::net::dev;
  my $devs = Linux::net::dev::info();
  print "Devices (bytes read):\n";
  foreach (keys %$devs) {
    print "  $_ ($devs->{$_}->{rbytes})\n";
  }

=head1 DESCRIPTION

B<Linux::net::dev> parses B</proc/net/dev> for network devices
statistics. The package contains these functions:

=over 4

=item B<info>

This function returns hash reference. Keys are devices' ids and values
are data hash references. Data hash has resource names for keys and
their respective values as associated values.

=item B<dev>

Takes device id as a single argument and returns that device's data.

=item B<devs>

Takes list of device ids as arguments and returns array with those
devices' data.

=back

Recognized resources (data hash keys): B<rbytes>, B<rcompressed>,
B<rdrop>, B<rerrs>, B<rfifo>, B<rframe>, B<rmulticast>, B<rpackets>,
B<tbytes>, B<tcarrier>, B<tcolls>, B<tcompressed>, B<tdrop>, B<terrs>,
B<tfifo>, B<tpackets>,

Resources begining with "r" are values for read data, and those begining
with "t" are values for transmited data.

Package was built and tested on RedHat 7.2, kernel 2.4.7-10 and might
not work on some other versions. Please report bugs along with your
kernel version (B<uname -r> or B<uname -a>).
