wpa_supplicant与wpa_cli的交互分析

1 wpa_supplicant与用户态程序wpa_cli的交互过程

1.1 交互接口类型

wpa_supplicant与用户态程序交互的主要接口包括以下几种：

• 1）命令行界面：通过命令行工具可以与 wpa_supplicant 进行交互。例如wpa_cli 允许用户执行各种命令操作 wpa_supplicant ，如配置网络、扫描网络、断开连接等。
• 2）控制接口文件：wpa_supplicant 会创建一个控制接口文件，通常位于 /var/run/wpa_supplicant/ 目录下，以便与外部程序进行通信。通过控制接口文件，外部程序可以向 wpa_supplicant 发送消息，以配置和管理无线网络连接。
• 3）D-Bus 接口：wpa_supplicant 也提供了一个 D-Bus 接口，允许外部程序使用 D-Bus 协议与其通信。通过 D-Bus 接口，外部程序可以查询和配置 wpa_supplicant 的状态、网络配置等信息。D-Bus 是一种通用的进程间通信机制，在许多Linux系统上都受支持。
• 4）自定义接口：有些外部程序可能会使用 wpa_supplicant 提供的自定义接口，通过编程方式与其交互。

用户态程序和wpa_supplicant两个进程之间通信的方式一般为unix socket

wpa_cli就是一个用户态程序，本文以wpa_cli为例分析wpa_supplicant与用户态之间的交互

1.2 交互命令和日志

首先，执行wpa_supplicant命令

sudo ./wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -D nl80211 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

该命令会调用wpa_supplicant/main.c文件中的main()主函数

然后，执行wpa_cli命令

sudo ./wpa_cli -i wlan0 scan

该命令会调用wpa_supplicant/wpa_cli.c文件中的main()主函数

在wpa_cli端发出扫描命令后，wpa_supplicant端接收到来自wpa_cli的消息，其处理日志如下
