\section ctrl_iface_events Control interface events
%wpa_supplicant generates number messages based on events like
connection or a completion of a task. These are available to external
programs that attach to receive unsolicited messages over the control
interface with wpa_ctrl_attach().
The event messages will be delivered over the attach control interface
as text strings that start with the priority level of the message and
a fixed prefix text as defined in wpa_ctrl.h. After this, optional
additional information may be included depending on the event
message. For example, following event message is delivered when new
scan results are available:
\verbatim
<2>CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS
\endverbatim
Following priority levels are used:
- 0 = MSGDUMP
- 1 = DEBUG
- 2 = INFO
- 3 = WARNING
- 4 = ERROR
By default, any priority level greater than equal to 2 (INFO) are
delivered over the attached control interface. LEVEL command can be
used to set the level of messages which will be delivered. It should
be noted that there are many debug messages that do not include any
particulat prefix and are subject to change. They may be used for
debug information, but can usually be ignored by external programs.
In most cases, the external program can skip over the priority field
in the beginning of the event message and then compare the following
text to the event strings from wpa_ctrl.h that the program is
interested in processing.
Following subsections describe the most common event notifications
generated by %wpa_supplicant.
