# ***This script was made by Clay Gomera (Drake)***
#  - Description: A dwmblocks script to print the wifi status
#  - Dependencies: dwm, dwmblocks, nmcli

#####
## This function gets the wifi
## signal strength from nmcli and
## then converts it from dBm to
## values from 1 to 4
#####
## param: none
## return: string
