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.

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().

Control interface commands

Following commands can be used with wpa_ctrl_request():

PING

This command can be used to test whether wpa_supplicant is replying to the control interface commands. The expected reply is PONG if the connection is open and wpa_supplicant is processing commands.

GET_NETWORK <network id> <variable>

Get network variables. Network id can be received from the LIST_NETWORKS command output.

SAVE_CONFIG

Save the current configuration.

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.

P2P_STOP_FIND

Stop ongoing P2P device discovery or other operation (connect, listen mode).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

P2P_GET_PASSPHRASE

Get the passphrase for a group (only available when acting as a GO).

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 P2P_FIND).

This command returns an identifier for the pending query (e.g., "1f77628") that can be used to cancel the request. Directed requests will be automatically removed when the specified peer has replied to it.

P2P_SERV_DISC_CANCEL_REQ

Cancel a pending P2P service discovery request. This command takes a single parameter: identifier for the pending query (the value returned by P2P_SERV_DISC_REQ), e.g., "P2P_SERV_DISC_CANCEL_REQ 1f77628".

P2P_SERV_DISC_RESP

Reply to a service discovery query. This command takes following parameters: frequency in MHz, destination address, dialog token, response TLV(s). The first three parameters are copied from the request event. For example, "P2P_SERV_DISC_RESP 2437 02:40:61:c2:f3:b7 1 0300000101".

P2P_SERVICE_UPDATE

Indicate that local services have changed. This is used to increment the P2P service indicator value so that peers know when previously cached information may have changed.

P2P_SERV_DISC_EXTERNAL

Configure external processing of P2P service requests: 0 (default) = no external processing of requests (i.e., internal code will reject each request), 1 = external processing of requests (external program is responsible for replying to service discovery requests with P2P_SERV_DISC_RESP).

P2P_REJECT

Reject connection attempt from a peer (specified with a device address). This is a mechanism to reject a pending GO Negotiation with a peer and request to automatically block any further connection or discovery of the peer.

P2P_INVITE

Invite a peer to join a group or to (re)start a persistent group.

P2P_PEER

Fetch information about a discovered peer. This command takes in an argument specifying which peer to select: P2P Device Address of the peer, "FIRST" to indicate the first peer in the list, or "NEXT-<P2P Device Address>" to indicate the entry following the specified peer (to allow for iterating through the list).

P2P_EXT_LISTEN

Enable/disable extended listen timing. Without parameters, this command disables extended listen timing. When enabling the feature, two parameters are used: availibility period and availability interval (both in milliseconds and with range of 1-65535).

Interactive requests

If wpa_supplicant needs additional information during authentication (e.g., password), it will use a specific prefix, CTRL-REQ- (WPA_CTRL_REQ macro) in an unsolicited event message. An external program, e.g., a GUI, can provide such information by using CTRL-RSP- (WPA_CTRL_RSP macro) prefix in a command with matching field name.

The following fields can be requested in this way from the user:

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

For example, request from wpa_supplicant:

CTRL-REQ-PASSWORD-1-Password needed for SSID test-network

And a matching reply from the GUI:

CTRL-RSP-PASSWORD-1-secret

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:

GET_CAPABILITY eap
AKA FAST GTC LEAP MD5 MSCHAPV2 OTP PAX PEAP PSK SIM TLS TTLS
GET_CAPABILITY pairwise
CCMP TKIP NONE
GET_CAPABILITY pairwise strict
GET_CAPABILITY group

GET_CAPABILITY key_mgmt
WPA-PSK WPA-EAP IEEE8021X NONE
GET_CAPABILITY proto
RSN WPA
GET_CAPABILITY auth_alg
OPEN SHARED LEAP

AP_SCAN <ap_scan value>

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

INTERFACES

List configured interfaces.

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 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 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:

<2>CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS

Following priority levels are used:

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 wpa_ctrl.h that the program is interested in processing.

Following subsections describe the most common event notifications generated by wpa_supplicant.
