\page ctrl_iface_page wpa_supplicant control interface
|
|
|
|
wpa_supplicant implements a control interface that can be used by
|
|
external programs to control the operations of the wpa_supplicant
|
|
daemon and to get status information and event notifications. There is
|
|
a small C library, in a form of a single C file, \ref wpa_ctrl.c, that
|
|
provides helper functions to facilitate the use of the control
|
|
interface. External programs can link this file into them and then use
|
|
the library functions documented in \ref wpa_ctrl.h to interact with
|
|
wpa_supplicant. This library can also be used with C++. \ref wpa_cli.c and
|
|
wpa_gui are example programs using this library.
|
|
|
|
There are multiple mechanisms for inter-process communication. For
|
|
example, Linux version of wpa_supplicant is using UNIX domain sockets
|
|
for the control interface and Windows version UDP sockets. The use of
|
|
the functions defined in \ref wpa_ctrl.h can be used to hide the details of
|
|
the used IPC from external programs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\section using_ctrl_iface Using the control interface
|
|
|
|
External programs, e.g., a GUI or a configuration utility, that need to
|
|
communicate with wpa_supplicant should link in \ref wpa_ctrl.c. This
|
|
allows them to use helper functions to open connection to the control
|
|
interface with \ref wpa_ctrl_open() and to send commands with
|
|
\ref wpa_ctrl_request().
|
|
|
|
wpa_supplicant uses the control interface for two types of communication:
|
|
commands and unsolicited event messages. Commands are a pair of
|
|
messages, a request from the external program and a response from
|
|
wpa_supplicant. These can be executed using \ref wpa_ctrl_request().
|
|
Unsolicited event messages are sent by wpa_supplicant to the control
|
|
interface connection without specific request from the external program
|
|
for receiving each message. However, the external program needs to
|
|
attach to the control interface with \ref wpa_ctrl_attach() to receive these
|
|
unsolicited messages.
|
|
|
|
If the control interface connection is used both for commands and
|
|
unsolicited event messages, there is potential for receiving an
|
|
unsolicited message between the command request and response.
|
|
\ref wpa_ctrl_request() caller will need to supply a callback, msg_cb,
|
|
for processing these messages. Often it is easier to open two
|
|
control interface connections by calling \ref wpa_ctrl_open() twice and
|
|
then use one of the connections for commands and the other one for
|
|
unsolicited messages. This way command request/response pairs will
|
|
not be broken by unsolicited messages. wpa_cli is an example of how
|
|
to use only one connection for both purposes and wpa_gui demonstrates
|
|
how to use two separate connections.
|
|
|
|
Once the control interface connection is not needed anymore, it should
|
|
be closed by calling \ref wpa_ctrl_close(). If the connection was used for
|
|
unsolicited event messages, it should be first detached by calling
|
|
\ref wpa_ctrl_detach().
|
|
|
|
|
|
\section ctrl_iface_cmds Control interface commands
|
|
|
|
Following commands can be used with \ref wpa_ctrl_request():
|
|
|
|
\subsection ctrl_iface_PING PING
|
|
|
|
This command can be used to test whether wpa_supplicant is replying
|
|
to the control interface commands. The expected reply is \c PONG if the
|
|
connection is open and wpa_supplicant is processing commands.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
\subsection ctrl_iface_BSS BSS
|
|
|
|
Get detailed per-BSS scan results. \c BSS command can be used to
|
|
iterate through scan results one BSS at a time and to fetch all
|
|
information from the found BSSes. This provides access to the same
|
|
data that is available through \c SCAN_RESULTS but in a way that
|
|
avoids problems with large number of scan results not fitting in the
|
|
ctrl_iface messages.
|
|
|
|
There are two options for selecting the BSS with the \c BSS command:
|
|
"BSS <idx>" requests information for the BSS identified by the index
|
|
(0 .. size-1) in the scan results table and "BSS <BSSID>" requests
|
|
information for the given BSS (based on BSSID in 00:01:02:03:04:05
|
|
format).
|
|
|
|
BSS information is presented in following format. Please note that new
|
|
fields may be added to this field=value data, so the ctrl_iface user
|
|
should be prepared to ignore values it does not understand.

|
|
\c LIST_NETWORKS command output. Special network id \c all can be
|
|
used to enable all network.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\subsection ctrl_iface_DISABLE_NETWORK DISABLE_NETWORK <network id>
|
|
|
|

\c LIST_NETWORKS command output. Special network id \c all can be
|
|
used to disable all network.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\subsection ctrl_iface_ADD_NETWORK ADD_NETWORK
|
|
|
|
Add a new network. This command creates a new network with empty
|
|
configuration. The new network is disabled and once it has been
|
|
configured it can be enabled with \c ENABLE_NETWORK command. \c ADD_NETWORK
|
|
returns the network id of the new network or FAIL on failure.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\subsection ctrl_iface_REMOVE_NETWORK REMOVE_NETWORK <network id>
|
|
|
|
Remove a network. Network id can be received from the
|
|
\c LIST_NETWORKS command output. Special network id \c all can be
|
|
used to remove all network.

|
|
|
This command uses the same variables and data formats as the
|
|
configuration file. See example wpa_supplicant.conf for more details.
|
|
|
|
- ssid (network name, SSID)
|
|
- psk (WPA passphrase or pre-shared key)
|
|
- key_mgmt (key management protocol)
|
|
- identity (EAP identity)
|
|

\subsection ctrl_iface_SAVE_CONFIG SAVE_CONFIG
|
|
|
|
Save the current configuration.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\subsection ctrl_iface_P2P_FIND P2P_FIND
|
|
|
|
Start P2P device discovery. Optional parameter can be used to specify
|
|
the duration for the discovery in seconds (e.g., "P2P_FIND 5"). If the
|
|
duration is not specified, discovery will be started for indefinite
|
|
time, i.e., until it is terminated by P2P_STOP_FIND or P2P_CONNECT (to
|
|
start group formation with a discovered peer).
|
|
|
|
The default search type is to first run a full scan of all channels
|
|
and then continue scanning only social channels (1, 6, 11). This
|
|
behavior can be changed by specifying a different search type: social
|
|
(e.g., "P2P_FIND 5 type=social") will skip the initial full scan and
|
|
only search social channels; progressive (e.g., "P2P_FIND
|
|
type=progressive") starts with a full scan and then searches
|
|
progressively through all channels one channel at the time with the
|
|
social channel scans. Progressive device discovery can be used to find
|
|
new groups (and groups that were not found during the initial scan,
|
|
e.g., due to the GO being asleep) over time without adding
|
|
considerable extra delay for every Search state round.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\subsection ctrl_iface_P2P_STOP_FIND P2P_STOP_FIND
|
|
|
|
Stop ongoing P2P device discovery or other operation (connect, listen
|
|
mode).
|
|
|
|
|
|
\subsection ctrl_iface_P2P_CONNECT P2P_CONNECT
|
|
|
|
Start P2P group formation with a discovered P2P peer. This includes
|
|
group owner negotiation, group interface setup, provisioning, and
|
|
establishing data connection.
|
|
|
|
P2P_CONNECT <peer device address> <pbc|pin|PIN#>
|
|
[label|display|keypad] [persistent] [join|auth] [go_intent=<0..15>]
|
|
|
|
Start P2P group formation with a discovered P2P peer. This includes
|
|
optional group owner negotiation, group interface setup, provisioning,
|
|
and establishing data connection.
|
|
|
|
The <pbc|pin|PIN#> parameter specifies the WPS provisioning
|
|
method. "pbc" string starts pushbutton method, "pin" string start PIN
|
|
method using an automatically generated PIN (which will be returned as
|
|
the command return code), PIN# means that a pre-selected PIN can be
|
|
used (e.g., 12345670). [label|display|keypad] is used with PIN method
|
|
to specify which PIN is used (label=PIN from local label,
|
|
display=dynamically generated random PIN from local display,
|
|
keypad=PIN entered from peer device label or display). "persistent"
|
|
parameter can be used to request a persistent group to be formed.
|
|
|
|
"join" indicates that this is a command to join an existing group as a
|
|
client. It skips the GO Negotiation part.
|
|
|
|
"auth" indicates that the WPS parameters are authorized for the peer
|
|
device without actually starting GO Negotiation (i.e., the peer is
|
|
expected to initiate GO Negotiation). This is mainly for testing
|
|
purposes.
|
|
|
|
The optional "go_intent" parameter can be used to override the default
|
|
GO Intent value.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\subsection ctrl_iface_P2P_LISTEN P2P_LISTEN
|
|
|
|
Start Listen-only state. Optional parameter can be used to specify the
|
|
duration for the Listen operation in seconds. This command may not
|
|
be of that much use during normal operations and is mainly designed
|
|
for testing. It can also be used to keep the device discoverable
|
|
without having to maintain a group.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\subsection ctrl_iface_P2P_GROUP_REMOVE P2P_GROUP_REMOVE
|
|
|
|
Terminate a P2P group. If a new virtual network interface was used for
|
|
the group, it will also be removed. The network interface name of the
|
|
group interface is used as a parameter for this command.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\subsection ctrl_iface_P2P_GROUP_ADD P2P_GROUP_ADD
|
|
|
|
Set up a P2P group owner manually (i.e., without group owner
|
|
negotiation with a specific peer). This is also known as autonomous
|
|
GO. Optional persistent=<network id> can be used to specify restart of
|
|
a persistent group.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\subsection ctrl_iface_P2P_PROV_DISC P2P_PROV_DISC
|
|
|
|
Send P2P provision discovery request to the specified peer. The
|
|
parameters for this command are the P2P device address of the peer and
|
|
the desired configuration method. For example, "P2P_PROV_DISC
|
|
02:01:02:03:04:05 display" would request the peer to display a PIN for
|
|
us and "P2P_PROV_DISC 02:01:02:03:04:05 keypad" would request the peer
|
|
to enter a PIN that we display.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\subsection ctrl_iface_P2P_GET_PASSPHRASE P2P_GET_PASSPHRASE
|
|
|
|
Get the passphrase for a group (only available when acting as a GO).
|
|
|
|
|
|
\subsection ctrl_iface_P2P_SERV_DISC_REQ P2P_SERV_DISC_REQ
|
|
|
|
Schedule a P2P service discovery request. The parameters for this
|
|
command are the device address of the peer device (or 00:00:00:00:00:00
|
|
for wildcard query that is sent to every discovered P2P peer that
|
|
supports service discovery) and P2P Service Query TLV(s) as hexdump.
|
|
For example, "P2P_SERV_DISC_REQ 00:00:00:00:00:00 02000001" schedules
|
|
a request for listing all supported service discovery protocols and
|
|
requests this to be sent to all discovered peers. The pending requests
|
|
are sent during device discovery (see \ref ctrl_iface_P2P_FIND).
|
|
|
|
This command returns an identifier for the pending query (e.g.,
|
|
"1f77628") that can be used to cancel the request. Directed requests
|
|
will be automatically removed when the specified peer has replied to
|
|
it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\subsection ctrl_iface_P2P_SERV_DISC_CANCEL_REQ P2P_SERV_DISC_CANCEL_REQ

|
|
|
|
\section ctrl_iface_interactive Interactive requests
|
|
|
|
If wpa_supplicant needs additional information during authentication
|
|
(e.g., password), it will use a specific prefix, \c CTRL-REQ-
|
|
(\a WPA_CTRL_REQ macro) in an unsolicited event message. An external
|
|
program, e.g., a GUI, can provide such information by using
|
|
\c CTRL-RSP- (\a WPA_CTRL_RSP macro) prefix in a command with matching
|
|
field name.
|
|
|
|
The following fields can be requested in this way from the user:
|
|
- IDENTITY (EAP identity/user name)
|
|
- PASSWORD (EAP password)
|
|
- NEW_PASSWORD (New password if the server is requesting password change)
|
|
- PIN (PIN code for accessing a SIM or smartcard)
|
|
- OTP (one-time password; like password, but the value is used only once)
|
|
- PASSPHRASE (passphrase for a private key file)
|
|
|
|
\verbatim
|
|
CTRL-REQ-<field name>-<network id>-<human readable text>
|
|
CTRL-RSP-<field name>-<network id>-<value>
|
|
\endverbatim
|
|
|
|
For example, request from wpa_supplicant:
|
|
\verbatim
|
|
CTRL-REQ-PASSWORD-1-Password needed for SSID test-network
|
|
\endverbatim
|
|
|
|
And a matching reply from the GUI:
|
|
\verbatim
|
|
CTRL-RSP-PASSWORD-1-secret
|
|
\endverbatim
|
|
|
|
|
|
\subsection ctrl_iface_GET_CAPABILITY GET_CAPABILITY <option> [strict]
|
|
|
|
Get list of supported functionality (eap, pairwise, group,
|
|
proto). Supported functionality is shown as space separate lists of
|
|
values used in the same format as in wpa_supplicant configuration.
|
|
If optional argument, 'strict', is added, only the values that the
|
|
driver claims to explicitly support are included. Without this, all
|
|
available capabilities are included if the driver does not provide
|
|
a mechanism for querying capabilities.
|
|
|
|
Example request/reply pairs:
|
|
|
|
\verbatim

|
Change ap_scan value:
|
|
0 = no scanning,
|
|
1 = wpa_supplicant requests scans and uses scan results to select the AP,
|
|
2 = wpa_supplicant does not use scanning and just requests driver to
|
|
associate and take care of AP selection
|
|
|
|

\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 \ref 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 \ref 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 \ref wpa_ctrl.h that the program is
|
|
interested in processing.
|
|
|
|
Following subsections describe the most common event notifications
|
