/** \page dbus %wpa_supplicant D-Bus API This section documents the %wpa_supplicant D-Bus API. Every D-Bus interface implemented by %wpa_supplicant is described here including their methods, signals, and properties with arguments, returned values, and possible errors. Interfaces: - \ref dbus_main - \ref dbus_interface - \ref dbus_wps - \ref dbus_bss - \ref dbus_network \section dbus_main fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1 Interface implemented by the main %wpa_supplicant D-Bus object registered in the bus with fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1 name. \subsection dbus_main_methods Methods
