This module provides functions for inquiring about and monitoring changes to the network.

This sub-module provides access to the current location set configuration settings in the system's dynamic store.

This sub-module provides functions for acquiring host information, such as hostnames, addresses, and reachability.

This module provides a basic ping function which can test host availability. Ping is a network diagnostic tool commonly found in most operating systems which can be used to test if a route to a specified host exists and if that host is responding to network traffic.

Provides lower-level access to the ICMP Echo Request infrastructure used by the hs.network.ping module. In general, you should not need to use this module directly unless you have specific requirements not met by the hs.network.ping module and the hs.network.ping object methods.

This sub-module can be used to determine the reachability of a target host. A remote host is considered reachable when a data packet, sent by an application into the network stack, can leave the local device. Reachability does not guarantee that the data packet will actually be received by the host.

Contains two low latency audio recognizers for different mouth noises, which can be used to trigger actions like scrolling or clicking.

This module allows you to create on screen notifications in the User Notification Center located at the right of the users screen.
