# This is a Python 3 demo of how to interact with the Nethogs library via Python. The Nethogs
# library operates via a callback. The callback implemented here just formats the data it receives
# and prints it to stdout. This must be run as root (`sudo python3 python-wrapper.py`).
# By Philip Semanchuk (psemanchuk@caktusgroup.com) November 2016
# Copyright waived; released into public domain as is.
# The code is multi-threaded to allow it to respond to SIGTERM and SIGINT (Ctrl+C). In single-
# threaded mode, while waiting in the Nethogs monitor loop, this Python code won't receive Ctrl+C
# until network activity occurs and the callback is executed. By using 2 threads, we can have the
# main thread listen for SIGINT while the secondary thread is blocked in the monitor loop.
# LIBRARY_NAME has to be exact, although it doesn't need to include the full path.
# The version tagged as 0.8.5 (download link below) builds a library with this name.

# Possible actions are NETHOGS_APP_ACTION_SET & NETHOGS_APP_ACTION_REMOVE
# Action REMOVE is sent when nethogs decides a connection or a process has died. There are two
# timeouts defined, PROCESSTIMEOUT (150 seconds) and CONNTIMEOUT (50 seconds). AFAICT, the latter
# trumps the former so we see a REMOVE action after ~45-50 seconds of inactivity.
