The command "iwctl station ${station} get-networks" is used to get the list of available Wi-Fi networks on a specific interface.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "iwctl" is the command-line utility for controlling and configuring wireless devices and networks on Linux.
- "station" is a keyword used to specify the station (Wi-Fi interface) on which the command is to be executed.
- "${station}" is a placeholder for the actual name of the Wi-Fi interface (e.g., wlan0). You need to replace "${station}" with the appropriate value.
- "get-networks" is the subcommand used to retrieve information about the available Wi-Fi networks.
So, when you run this command with the correct Wi-Fi interface name, it will display a list of Wi-Fi networks that your device can detect.
