wpa_supplicant处于内核和应用程序之间,实现两者的通信,有上行和下行,对于开发人员主要关心上行。
- 上行方式由wpa_supplicant提供控制接口,control interface由wpa_ctrl.c和wpa_ctrl.h封装起来,给我们提供所需要的接口。
主要接口如下:
/* wpa_supplicant/hostapd control interface access */
* wpa_ctrl_open - Open a control interface to wpa_supplicant/hostapd
* @ctrl_path: Path for UNIX domain sockets; ignored if UDP sockets are used.
* Returns: Pointer to abstract control interface data or %NULL on failure
*
* This function is used to open a control interface to wpa_supplicant/hostapd.
* ctrl_path is usually /var/run/wpa_supplicant or /var/run/hostapd. This path
* is configured in wpa_supplicant/hostapd and other programs using the control
* interface need to use matching path configuration.
*/
struct wpa_ctrl * wpa_ctrl_open(const char *ctrl_path);
/**
* wpa_ctrl_close - Close a control interface to wpa_supplicant/hostapd
* @ctrl: Control interface data from wpa_ctrl_open()
*
* This function is used to close a control interface.
*/
void wpa_ctrl_close(struct wpa_ctrl *ctrl);
/**
* wpa_ctrl_request - Send a command to wpa_supplicant/hostapd
* @ctrl: Control interface data from wpa_ctrl_open()
* @cmd: Command; usually, ASCII text, e.g., "PING"
* @cmd_len: Length of the cmd in bytes
* @reply: Buffer for the response
* @reply_len: Reply buffer length
* @msg_cb: Callback function for unsolicited messages or %NULL if not used
* Returns: 0 on success, -1 on error (send or receive failed), -2 on timeout
*
* This function is used to send commands to wpa_supplicant/hostapd. Received
* response will be written to reply and reply_len is set to the actual length
* of the reply. This function will block for up to two seconds while waiting
* for the reply. If unsolicited messages are received, the blocking time may
* be longer.
*
* msg_cb can be used to register a callback function that will be called for
* unsolicited messages received while waiting for the command response. These
* messages may be received if wpa_ctrl_request() is called at the same time as
* wpa_supplicant/hostapd is sending such a message. This can happen only if
* the program has used wpa_ctrl_attach() to register itself as a monitor for
* event messages. Alternatively to msg_cb, programs can register two control
* interface connections and use one of them for commands and the other one for
* receiving event messages, in other words, call wpa_ctrl_attach() only for
* the control interface connection that will be used for event messages.

* @ctrl: Control interface data from wpa_ctrl_open()

*
* This function registers the control interface connection as a monitor for
* wpa_supplicant/hostapd events. After a success wpa_ctrl_attach() call, the
* control interface connection starts receiving event messages that can be
* read with wpa_ctrl_recv().

* @ctrl: Control interface data from wpa_ctrl_open()
* Returns: 0 on success, -1 on failure, -2 on timeout
*
* This function unregisters the control interface connection as a monitor for
* wpa_supplicant/hostapd events, i.e., cancels the registration done with
* wpa_ctrl_attach().

* This function will receive a pending control interface message. This
* function will block if no messages are available. The received response will
* be written to reply and reply_len is set to the actual length of the reply.

* Returns: 1 if there are pending messages, 0 if no, or -1 on error
*
* This function will check whether there are any pending control interface
* message available to be received with wpa_ctrl_recv(). wpa_ctrl_pending() is
* only used for event messages, i.e., wpa_ctrl_attach() must have been used to
* register the control interface as an event monitor.

/**
* wpa_ctrl_get_fd - Get file descriptor used by the control interface
* @ctrl: Control interface data from wpa_ctrl_open()
* Returns: File descriptor used for the connection
*
* This function can be used to get the file descriptor that is used for the
* control interface connection. The returned value can be used, e.g., with
* select() while waiting for multiple events.
*
* The returned file descriptor must not be used directly for sending or
* receiving packets; instead, the library functions wpa_ctrl_request() and
* wpa_ctrl_recv() must be used for this.

wpa.ctrl建立客户端,对外通过unix本地socket实现与作为服务端的wpa_supplicant连接。
- wpa_supplicant的server端:由ctrl_iface_unix.c实现,相应客户端的请求,包涵两个函数
