python-wpactrl
|
|
--------------
|
|
A Python extension for wpa_supplicant/hostapd control interface access
|
|
|
|
Description
|
|
-----------
|
|
wpactrl defines a single class, WPACtrl, that must be instantiated
|
|
with the pathname of a UNIX domain socket control interface of a
|
|
wpa_supplicant/hostapd daemon.
|
|
|
|
Once a WPACtrl object has been instantiated, it may call several
|
|
helper methods to interact with the wpa_supplicant/hostapd daemon.
|
|
If an error occurs, a wpactrl.error exception is raised.
|
|
|
|
The destructor of a WPACtrl instance closes the connection to the
|
|
control interface socket.
|
|
|
|
Recommendations for the use of wpa_supplicant/hostapd control
|
|
interface access in external programs are at:
