73 /* wpa_supplicant/hostapd control interface access */
76 * wpa_ctrl_open - Open a control interface to wpa_supplicant/hostapd
77 * @ctrl_path: Path for UNIX domain sockets; ignored if UDP sockets are used.
78 * Returns: Pointer to abstract control interface data or %NULL on failure
80 * This function is used to open a control interface to wpa_supplicant/hostapd.
81 * ctrl_path is usually /var/run/wpa_supplicant or /var/run/hostapd. This path
82 * is configured in wpa_supplicant/hostapd and other programs using the control
83 * interface need to use matching path configuration.
85 struct wpa_ctrl * wpa_ctrl_open(const char *ctrl_path);
89 * wpa_ctrl_close - Close a control interface to wpa_supplicant/hostapd
90 * @ctrl: Control interface data from wpa_ctrl_open()
92 * This function is used to close a control interface.
94 void wpa_ctrl_close(struct wpa_ctrl *ctrl);
98 * wpa_ctrl_request - Send a command to wpa_supplicant/hostapd
99 * @ctrl: Control interface data from wpa_ctrl_open()
100 * @cmd: Command; usually, ASCII text, e.g., "PING"
101 * @cmd_len: Length of the cmd in bytes
102 * @reply: Buffer for the response
103 * @reply_len: Reply buffer length
104 * @msg_cb: Callback function for unsolicited messages or %NULL if not used
105 * Returns: 0 on success, -1 on error (send or receive failed), -2 on timeout
107 * This function is used to send commands to wpa_supplicant/hostapd. Received
108 * response will be written to reply and reply_len is set to the actual length
109 * of the reply. This function will block for up to two seconds while waiting
110 * for the reply. If unsolicited messages are received, the blocking time may
113 * msg_cb can be used to register a callback function that will be called for
114 * unsolicited messages received while waiting for the command response. These
115 * messages may be received if wpa_ctrl_request() is called at the same time as
116 * wpa_supplicant/hostapd is sending such a message. This can happen only if
117 * the program has used wpa_ctrl_attach() to register itself as a monitor for
118 * event messages. Alternatively to msg_cb, programs can register two control
119 * interface connections and use one of them for commands and the other one for
120 * receiving event messages, in other words, call wpa_ctrl_attach() only for
121 * the control interface connection that will be used for event messages.
123 int wpa_ctrl_request(struct wpa_ctrl *ctrl, const char *cmd, size_t cmd_len,

129 * wpa_ctrl_attach - Register as an event monitor for the control interface
130 * @ctrl: Control interface data from wpa_ctrl_open()
131 * Returns: 0 on success, -1 on failure, -2 on timeout
133 * This function registers the control interface connection as a monitor for
134 * wpa_supplicant/hostapd events. After a success wpa_ctrl_attach() call, the
135 * control interface connection starts receiving event messages that can be
136 * read with wpa_ctrl_recv().
138 int wpa_ctrl_attach(struct wpa_ctrl *ctrl);
142 * wpa_ctrl_detach - Unregister event monitor from the control interface
143 * @ctrl: Control interface data from wpa_ctrl_open()
144 * Returns: 0 on success, -1 on failure, -2 on timeout
146 * This function unregisters the control interface connection as a monitor for
147 * wpa_supplicant/hostapd events, i.e., cancels the registration done with
150 int wpa_ctrl_detach(struct wpa_ctrl *ctrl);
154 * wpa_ctrl_recv - Receive a pending control interface message
155 * @ctrl: Control interface data from wpa_ctrl_open()
156 * @reply: Buffer for the message data
157 * @reply_len: Length of the reply buffer
158 * Returns: 0 on success, -1 on failure
160 * This function will receive a pending control interface message. This
161 * function will block if no messages are available. The received response will
162 * be written to reply and reply_len is set to the actual length of the reply.
163 * wpa_ctrl_recv() is only used for event messages, i.e., wpa_ctrl_attach()
164 * must have been used to register the control interface as an event monitor.

170 * wpa_ctrl_pending - Check whether there are pending event messages
171 * @ctrl: Control interface data from wpa_ctrl_open()
172 * Returns: 1 if there are pending messages, 0 if no, or -1 on error
174 * This function will check whether there are any pending control interface
175 * message available to be received with wpa_ctrl_recv(). wpa_ctrl_pending() is
176 * only used for event messages, i.e., wpa_ctrl_attach() must have been used to
177 * register the control interface as an event monitor.
179 int wpa_ctrl_pending(struct wpa_ctrl *ctrl);
183 * wpa_ctrl_get_fd - Get file descriptor used by the control interface
184 * @ctrl: Control interface data from wpa_ctrl_open()
185 * Returns: File descriptor used for the connection
187 * This function can be used to get the file descriptor that is used for the
188 * control interface connection. The returned value can be used, e.g., with
189 * select() while waiting for multiple events.
191 * The returned file descriptor must not be used directly for sending or
192 * receiving packets; instead, the library functions wpa_ctrl_request() and
193 * wpa_ctrl_recv() must be used for this.
