\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, 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 wpa_ctrl.h to interact with
|
|
%wpa_supplicant. This library can also be used with C++. 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 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 wpa_ctrl.c. This
|
|
allows them to use helper functions to open connection to the control
|
|
interface with wpa_ctrl_open() and to send commands with
|
|
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 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 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.
|
|
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 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 wpa_ctrl_close(). If the connection was used for
|
|
unsolicited event messages, it should be first detached by calling
|
|
wpa_ctrl_detach().
|
|
|
|
|
|
\section ctrl_iface_cmds Control interface commands
|
|
|
|
Following commands can be used with 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.

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.

\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)
|

CTRL-REQ-<field name>-<network id>-<human readable text>
|
|
CTRL-RSP-<field name>-<network id>-<value>

For example, request from %wpa_supplicant:
|
|
\verbatim
|
|
CTRL-REQ-PASSWORD-1-Password needed for SSID test-network
|

\endverbatim
|
|

\subsection ctrl_iface_GET_CAPABILITY GET_CAPABILITY <option> [strict]

|
|
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.
