The way autolink support is implementing in Doxygen is a bit inconvenient with wpa_supplicant being recognized as something that would always be linked to struct wpa_supplicant. In addition, number of links were not really noticed automatically. To get this working more robustly and without having to use the %wpa_supplicant workaround (which had its own issues, e.g., with titles), disable autolinking and use explicit \ref commands instead. This is also updating some of the obsolete notes to point to correct file names, etc. changes in the source code tree. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>

\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

|
|
\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>
|
|
|
|
Disable a network. Network id can be received from the

\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.,

|
|
|
|
\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
|
