Example

Options

All the below arguments are optional. The default behavior is to generate a QR code on the terminal for the network you are currently connected. However, there are many options available if you want something besides the default scenario.

usage: wifi-share [-h] [-v] [-i [IMAGE]] [-s SSID] [-p PASSWORD] [-l]

 __          ___        ______ _      _____ _
 \ \        / (_)      |  ____(_)    / ____| |
  \ \  /\  / / _ ______| |__   _    | (___ | |__   __ _ _ __ ___
   \ \/  \/ / | |______|  __| | |    \___ \| '_ \ / _` | '__/ _ \
    \  /\  /  | |      | |    | |    ____) | | | | (_| | | |  __/
     \/  \/   |_|      |_|    |_|   |_____/|_| |_|\__,_|_|  \___|

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -v, --verbose         Enable verbose output.
  -i [IMAGE], --image [IMAGE]
                        Specify a filename for the generated QR code image.
                        (.png or .svg). Default: [WIFINAME].svg. If -i/--image
                        argument is not provided the QR code will be displayed
                        on the console.
  -s SSID, --ssid SSID  Specify the SSID you want the password of. Default:
                        the SSID of the network you are currently connected.
  -p PASSWORD, --password PASSWORD
                        Specify a desired password to be used instead of the
                        stored one.
  -l, --list            Display a list of stored Wi-Fi networks (SSIDs) to
                        choose from.

Notes

Unfortunately, in Linux systems using NetworkManager root privileges are required in ordered to read the password of a saved WiFi connection. That is why, unless you are root, you should run the script with sudo (as shown in the example).

The same does not apply on Windows systems. netsh does not need administrator privileges.
