Pinter - Print INTERfaces

Pinter is a small CLI tool that prints your network interfaces and their IP addresses in a clean, colored table. Forget about digging through ifconfig or ip addr output.

By default it shows only the interfaces that usually matter (Ethernet, Wi-Fi, bridges, VPN tunnels) and hides noise such as loopback, Docker and other virtual interfaces.

Features

• One line per interface, aligned columns, colored output
• All IPv4 addresses of an interface, when it has more than one
• Optional MAC addresses
• Optional view of all interfaces, without filtering
• Only one dependency: psutil

Installation

Install with pipx (preferred) or pip:

pipx install pinter

pip install pinter

Requires Python 3.8 or newer.

Usage

pinter [options]

Options are single letters and can be combined in one argument, for example pinter am:

Default view

$ pinter
enp1s0  192.168.1.23
        192.168.1.24
wlp2s0  192.168.1.57
tun0    10.8.0.2

Important addreses starts with: (br, eno, enp, eth, wl, tun). Other addresses are hidden.
