+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B Iwlist
+is used to display some additional information from a wireless network
+interface that is not displayed by
+.IR iwconfig (8).
+The main argument is used
+to select a category of information,
+.B iwlist
+displays in detailed form all information related to this category,
+including information already shown by
+.IR iwconfig (8).
+.\"
+.\" PARAMETER part
+.\"
+.SH PARAMETERS
+.TP
+.BR 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.
+.br
+Triggering scanning is a privileged operation
+.RI ( root
+only) and normal users can only read left-over scan results. By
+default, the way scanning is done (the scope of the scan) is dependant
+on the card and card settings.
+.br
+This command takes optional arguments, however most drivers will ignore
+those. The option
+.B essid
+is used to specify a scan on a specific ESSID. With some card/driver,
+this enables to see hidden networks. The option
+.B last
+does not trigger a scan and read left-over scan results.
+.TP
+.BR 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 number 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.
+.TP
+.BR rate / bit [rate]
+List the bit-rates supported by the device.
+.TP
+.BR keys / enc [ryption]
+List the encryption key sizes supported and list all the encryption
+keys set in the device.
+.TP
+.B power
+List the various Power Management attributes and modes of the device.
+.TP
+.B txpower
+List the various Transmit Powers available on the device.
+.TP
+.B retry
+List the transmit retry limits and retry lifetime on the device.
+.TP
+.BR ap / accesspoint / peers
+Give the list of Access Points in range, and optionally the quality of
+link to them. This feature is
+.B obsolete
+and now deprecated in favor of scanning support (above), and most
+drivers don't support it.
+.br
+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.
+.TP
+.B event
+List the wireless events supported by the device.
+.TP
+.B auth
+List the WPA authentication parameters currently set.
+.TP
+.BR wpa [keys]
+List all the WPA encryption keys set in the device.
+.TP
+.B genie
+List the Generic Information Elements set in the device (used for WPA
+support).
+.TP
+.BR modu [lation]
+List the modulations supported by the device and the modulations
+currently enabled.
+.TP
+.B --version
+Display the version of the tools, as well as the recommended and
+current Wireless Extensions version for the tool and the various
+wireless interfaces.
+.TP
+.B --help
+Display short help message.
