peelz 0e07c7ac5c feat(network): add rfkill setting
This setting makes it possible to have a configuration with two
network modules where one of them displays the ethernet state
(disconnected, linked, ethernet), and the other, the wifi state
(disabled, disconnected, linked, wifi).

Otherwise the ethernet state would show up as "disabled" (instead of
"disconnected") when rfkill is active.

# NAME
waybar - network module
# DESCRIPTION
The *network* module displays information about the current network connections.
# CONFIGURATION
Addressed by *network*
*interface*: ++
typeof: string ++
Use the defined interface instead of auto-detection. Accepts wildcard.
*rfkill*: ++
typeof: bool ++
default: true ++
If enabled, the *disabled* format will be used when rfkill is blocking wlan interfaces.
*interval*: ++
typeof: integer ++
default: 60 ++
The interval in which the network information gets polled (e.g. signal strength).
*family*: ++
typeof: string ++
default: *ipv4* ++
The address family that is used for the format replacement {ipaddr} and to determine if a network connection is present. Set it to ipv4_6 to display both.
*format*: ++
typeof: string ++
default: *{ifname}* ++
The format, how information should be displayed. This format is used when other formats aren't specified.
*format-ethernet*: ++
typeof: string ++
This format is used when an ethernet interface is displayed.
*format-wifi*: ++
typeof: string ++
This format is used when a wireless interface is displayed.
*format-linked*: ++
typeof: string ++
This format is used when a linked interface with no IP address is displayed.
*format-disconnected*: ++
typeof: string ++
This format is used when the displayed interface is disconnected.
*format-disabled*: ++
typeof: string ++
This format is used when rfkill is blocking wlan interfaces.
*format-icons*: ++
typeof: array/object ++
Based on the current signal strength, the corresponding icon gets selected. ++
The order is *low* to *high*. Or by the state if it is an object.
*rotate*: ++
typeof: integer ++
Positive value to rotate the text label (in 90 degree increments).
*max-length*: ++
typeof: integer ++
The maximum length in character the module should display.
*min-length*: ++
typeof: integer ++
The minimum length in characters the module should accept.
*align*: ++
typeof: float ++
The alignment of the label within the module, where 0 is left-aligned and 1 is right-aligned. If the module is rotated, it will follow the flow of the text.
*justify*: ++
typeof: string ++
The alignment of the text within the module's label, allowing options 'left', 'right', or 'center' to define the positioning.
*on-click*: ++
typeof: string ++
Command to execute when clicked on the module.
*on-click-middle*: ++
typeof: string ++
Command to execute when middle-clicked on the module using mousewheel.
*on-click-right*: ++
typeof: string ++
Command to execute when you right-click on the module.
*on-update*: ++
typeof: string ++
Command to execute when the module is updated.
*on-scroll-up*: ++
typeof: string ++
Command to execute when scrolling up on the module.
*on-scroll-down*: ++
typeof: string ++
Command to execute when scrolling down on the module.
*smooth-scrolling-threshold*: ++
typeof: double ++
Threshold to be used when scrolling.
*tooltip*: ++
typeof: bool ++
default: *true* ++
Option to disable tooltip on hover.
*tooltip-format*: ++
typeof: string ++
The format, how information should be displayed in the tooltip. This format is used when other formats aren't specified.
*tooltip-format-ethernet*: ++
typeof: string ++
This format is used when an ethernet interface is displayed.
*tooltip-format-wifi*: ++
typeof: string ++
This format is used when a wireless interface is displayed.
*tooltip-format-disconnected*: ++
typeof: string ++
This format is used when the displayed interface is disconnected.
*tooltip-format-disabled*: ++
typeof: string ++
This format is used when rfkill is blocking wlan interfaces.
*menu*: ++
typeof: string ++
Action that popups the menu.
*menu-file*: ++
typeof: string ++
Location of the menu descriptor file. There need to be an element of type
GtkMenu with id *menu*
*menu-actions*: ++
typeof: array ++
The actions corresponding to the buttons of the menu.
*expand*: ++
typeof: bool ++
default: false ++
Enables this module to consume all left over space dynamically.
