54 * wpa_ctrl_open - Open a control interface to wpa_supplicant/hostapd
55 * @ctrl_path: Path for UNIX domain sockets; ignored if UDP sockets are used.
56 * Returns: Pointer to abstract control interface data or %NULL on failure
58 * This function is used to open a control interface to wpa_supplicant/hostapd.
59 * ctrl_path is usually /var/run/wpa_supplicant or /var/run/hostapd. This path
60 * is configured in wpa_supplicant/hostapd and other programs using the control
61 * interface need to use matching path configuration.

76 * wpa_ctrl_request - Send a command to wpa_supplicant/hostapd
77 * @ctrl: Control interface data from wpa_ctrl_open()
78 * @cmd: Command; usually, ASCII text, e.g., "PING"
79 * @cmd_len: Length of the cmd in bytes
80 * @reply: Buffer for the response
81 * @reply_len: Reply buffer length
82 * @msg_cb: Callback function for unsolicited messages or %NULL if not used
83 * Returns: 0 on success, -1 on error (send or receive failed), -2 on timeout
85 * This function is used to send commands to wpa_supplicant/hostapd. Received
86 * response will be written to reply and reply_len is set to the actual length
87 * of the reply. This function will block for up to two seconds while waiting
88 * for the reply. If unsolicited messages are received, the blocking time may
89 * be longer.
91 * msg_cb can be used to register a callback function that will be called for
92 * unsolicited messages received while waiting for the command response. These
93 * messages may be received if wpa_ctrl_request() is called at the same time as
94 * wpa_supplicant/hostapd is sending such a message. This can happen only if
95 * the program has used wpa_ctrl_attach() to register itself as a monitor for
96 * event messages. Alternatively to msg_cb, programs can register two control
97 * interface connections and use one of them for commands and the other one for
98 * receiving event messages, in other words, call wpa_ctrl_attach() only for
99 * the control interface connection that will be used for event messages.

108 * @ctrl: Control interface data from wpa_ctrl_open()

111 * This function registers the control interface connection as a monitor for
112 * wpa_supplicant/hostapd events. After a success wpa_ctrl_attach() call, the
113 * control interface connection starts receiving event messages that can be
114 * read with wpa_ctrl_recv().

121 * @ctrl: Control interface data from wpa_ctrl_open()
122 * Returns: 0 on success, -1 on failure, -2 on timeout
124 * This function unregisters the control interface connection as a monitor for
125 * wpa_supplicant/hostapd events, i.e., cancels the registration done with
126 * wpa_ctrl_attach().

135 * @reply_len: Length of the reply buffer
136 * Returns: 0 on success, -1 on failure

139 * function will block if no messages are available. The received response will
140 * be written to reply and reply_len is set to the actual length of the reply.

153 * message available to be received with wpa_ctrl_recv(). wpa_ctrl_pending() is
154 * only used for event messages, i.e., wpa_ctrl_attach() must have been used to

162 * @ctrl: Control interface data from wpa_ctrl_open()
163 * Returns: File descriptor used for the connection
165 * This function can be used to get the file descriptor that is used for the
166 * control interface connection. The returned value can be used, e.g., with
167 * select() while waiting for multiple events.
169 * The returned file descriptor must not be used directly for sending or
170 * receiving packets; instead, the library functions wpa_ctrl_request() and
171 * wpa_ctrl_recv() must be used for this.
