62 * wpa_ctrl_open - Open a control interface to wpa_supplicant/hostapd
63 * @ctrl_path: Path for UNIX domain sockets; ignored if UDP sockets are used.
64 * Returns: Pointer to abstract control interface data or %NULL on failure
66 * This function is used to open a control interface to wpa_supplicant/hostapd.
67 * ctrl_path is usually /var/run/wpa_supplicant or /var/run/hostapd. This path
68 * is configured in wpa_supplicant/hostapd and other programs using the control
69 * interface need to use matching path configuration.
71 struct wpa_ctrl * wpa_ctrl_open(const char *ctrl_path);
75 * wpa_ctrl_close - Close a control interface to wpa_supplicant/hostapd
76 * @ctrl: Control interface data from wpa_ctrl_open()
78 * This function is used to close a control interface.
80 void wpa_ctrl_close(struct wpa_ctrl *ctrl);
84 * wpa_ctrl_request - Send a command to wpa_supplicant/hostapd
85 * @ctrl: Control interface data from wpa_ctrl_open()
86 * @cmd: Command; usually, ASCII text, e.g., "PING"
87 * @cmd_len: Length of the cmd in bytes
88 * @reply: Buffer for the response
89 * @reply_len: Reply buffer length
90 * @msg_cb: Callback function for unsolicited messages or %NULL if not used
91 * Returns: 0 on success, -1 on error (send or receive failed), -2 on timeout
93 * This function is used to send commands to wpa_supplicant/hostapd. Received
94 * response will be written to reply and reply_len is set to the actual length
95 * of the reply. This function will block for up to two seconds while waiting
96 * for the reply. If unsolicited messages are received, the blocking time may
99 * msg_cb can be used to register a callback function that will be called for
100 * unsolicited messages received while waiting for the command response. These
101 * messages may be received if wpa_ctrl_request() is called at the same time as
102 * wpa_supplicant/hostapd is sending such a message. This can happen only if
103 * the program has used wpa_ctrl_attach() to register itself as a monitor for
104 * event messages. Alternatively to msg_cb, programs can register two control
105 * interface connections and use one of them for commands and the other one for
106 * receiving event messages, in other words, call wpa_ctrl_attach() only for
107 * the control interface connection that will be used for event messages.
109 int wpa_ctrl_request(struct wpa_ctrl *ctrl, const char *cmd, size_t cmd_len,
110 char *reply, size_t *reply_len,
111 void (*msg_cb)(char *msg, size_t len));
115 * wpa_ctrl_attach - Register as an event monitor for the control interface
116 * @ctrl: Control interface data from wpa_ctrl_open()
117 * Returns: 0 on success, -1 on failure, -2 on timeout
119 * This function registers the control interface connection as a monitor for
120 * wpa_supplicant/hostapd events. After a success wpa_ctrl_attach() call, the
121 * control interface connection starts receiving event messages that can be
122 * read with wpa_ctrl_recv().
124 int wpa_ctrl_attach(struct wpa_ctrl *ctrl);
128 * wpa_ctrl_detach - Unregister event monitor from the control interface
129 * @ctrl: Control interface data from wpa_ctrl_open()
130 * Returns: 0 on success, -1 on failure, -2 on timeout
132 * This function unregisters the control interface connection as a monitor for
133 * wpa_supplicant/hostapd events, i.e., cancels the registration done with
136 int wpa_ctrl_detach(struct wpa_ctrl *ctrl);
140 * wpa_ctrl_recv - Receive a pending control interface message
141 * @ctrl: Control interface data from wpa_ctrl_open()
142 * @reply: Buffer for the message data
143 * @reply_len: Length of the reply buffer
144 * Returns: 0 on success, -1 on failure
146 * This function will receive a pending control interface message. This
147 * function will block if no messages are available. The received response will
148 * be written to reply and reply_len is set to the actual length of the reply.
149 * wpa_ctrl_recv() is only used for event messages, i.e., wpa_ctrl_attach()
150 * must have been used to register the control interface as an event monitor.
152 int wpa_ctrl_recv(struct wpa_ctrl *ctrl, char *reply, size_t *reply_len);
156 * wpa_ctrl_pending - Check whether there are pending event messages
157 * @ctrl: Control interface data from wpa_ctrl_open()
158 * Returns: 1 if there are pending messages, 0 if no, or -1 on error
160 * This function will check whether there are any pending control interface
161 * message available to be received with wpa_ctrl_recv(). wpa_ctrl_pending() is
162 * only used for event messages, i.e., wpa_ctrl_attach() must have been used to
163 * register the control interface as an event monitor.
165 int wpa_ctrl_pending(struct wpa_ctrl *ctrl);
169 * wpa_ctrl_get_fd - Get file descriptor used by the control interface
170 * @ctrl: Control interface data from wpa_ctrl_open()
171 * Returns: File descriptor used for the connection
173 * This function can be used to get the file descriptor that is used for the
174 * control interface connection. The returned value can be used, e.g., with
175 * select() while waiting for multiple events.
177 * The returned file descriptor must not be used directly for sending or
178 * receiving packets; instead, the library functions wpa_ctrl_request() and
179 * wpa_ctrl_recv() must be used for this.
