wifiscanner

Important note to existing contributors!

If you have a local clone you will need to update your default branch from master to main. The easiest way to do this is to delete the clone and recreate it.

Alternatively type the following commands (thanks Scott):

git checkout master
$ git branch -m master main
$ git fetch
$ git branch --unset-upstream
$ git branch -u origin/main
$ git symbolic-ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD refs/remotes/origin/main

Intro

A crate to list WiFi hotspots in your area.

As of v0.5.x now supports macOS, Linux and Windows. :tada:

Inspired by Maurice Svay's node-wifiscanner

Tests shameless pilfered from Christian Kuster's node-wifi-scanner

Full documentation can be found here.

Usage

This crate is on crates.io and can be used by adding wifiscanner to the dependencies in your project's Cargo.toml.
