DESCRIPTION
       Iwlist  is  used  to  display  some  additional information from a wireless network
       interface that is not displayed by iwconfig(8).   The  main  argument  is  used  to
       select  a category of information, iwlist displays in detailed form all information
       related to this category, including information already shown by iwconfig(8).

PARAMETERS
       scan[ning]
              Give the list of Access Points and Ad-Hoc cells in range, and  optionally  a
              whole  bunch of information about them (ESSID, Quality, Frequency, Mode...).
              The type of information returned depends on what the card supports.
              Triggering scanning is a privileged operation (root only) and  normal  users
              can  only  read left-over scan results. By default, the way scanning is done
              (the scope of the scan) will be impacted  by  the  current  setting  of  the
              driver.  Also,  this  command is supposed to take extra arguments to control
              the scanning behaviour, but this is currently not implemented.

       freq[uency]/channel
              Give the list of available frequencies in  the  device  and  the  number  of
              defined channels. Please note that usually the driver returns the total num-
              ber of channels and only the frequencies available in the present locale, so
              there  is  no  one-to-one  mapping between frequencies displayed and channel
              numbers.

       rate/bit[rate]
              List the bit-rates supported by the device.

       key/enc[ryption]
              List the encryption key sizes supported and display all the encryption  keys
              available in the device.

       power  List the various Power Management attributes and modes of the device.

       txpower
              List the various Transmit Powers available on the device.

       retry  List the transmit retry limits and retry lifetime on the device.

       ap/accesspoint/peers
              Give  the list of Access Points in range, and optionally the quality of link
              to them. This feature is obsolete and now deprecated in  favor  of  scanning
              support (above), and most drivers don’t support it.
              Some  drivers  may  use  this  command to return a specific list of Peers or
              Access Points, such as the list  of  Peers  associated/registered  with  the
              card. See your driver documentation for details.

       event  List the wireless events supported by the device.

       --version
              Display  the  version  of  the tools, as well as the recommended and current
              Wireless Extensions version for the tool and  the  various  wireless  inter-
              faces.

FILES
       /proc/net/wireless
