I'm used to working with Linux so I like being able to do as much as possible from the comfort of my Terminal.app bash shell.
So.. What are the essential networking commands & utilities native to Mac OS X?
If that's potentially too broad, the main goal is just to be able to join/connect to a WLAN Access Point and the Internet.
What (I think) I know so far is this:
- There is no
ip
,iw
oriwconfig
. There is anifconfig
.- There is no
ss
utility. There is a BSD-stylenetstat
utility; but it's considerably different to GNU-proper.- There is a poorly documented IEEE 802.11 utility; named
airport
.
I have it symbolically-linked (link -s
) to my default$PATH
. (i.e:/bin/airport
)
