Network Shell
#############

Overview
********

Network shell provides helpers for figuring out network status,
enabling/disabling features, and issuing commands like ping or DNS resolving.
Note that ``net-shell`` should probably not be used in production code
as it will require extra memory. See also :ref:`generic shell <shell_label>`
for detailed shell information.

The following net-shell commands are implemented:
