Detailed Description

wpa_supplicant/hostapd / Empty OS specific functions

This file can be used as a starting point when adding a new OS target. The functions here do not really work as-is since they are just empty or only return an error value. os_internal.c can be used as another starting point or reference since it has example implementation of many of these functions.

Function Documentation

int os_daemonize ( const char * pid_file )

Run in the background (detach from the controlling terminal)

Parameters

pid_file File name to write the process ID to or NULL to skip this

Returns: 0 on success, -1 on failure

void os_daemonize_terminate ( const char * pid_file )

Stop running in the background (remove pid file)

Parameters

pid_file File name to write the process ID to or NULL to skip this

int os_exec	(	const char *	program,
		const char *	arg,
		int	wait_completion
	)

Execute an external program.

Parameters

program	Path to the program
arg	Command line argument string
wait_completion	Whether to wait until the program execution completes

Returns: 0 on success, -1 on error

int os_fdatasync ( FILE * stream )

Sync a file's (for a given stream) state with storage device.

Parameters

stream the stream to be flushed

Returns: 0 if the operation succeeded or -1 on failure

int os_get_random	(	unsigned char *	buf,
		size_t	len
	)

Get cryptographically strong pseudo random data.

Parameters

buf	Buffer for pseudo random data
len	Length of the buffer

Returns: 0 on success, -1 on failure

int os_get_reltime ( struct os_reltime * t )

Get relative time (sec, usec)

Parameters

t	Pointer to buffer for the time

Returns: 0 on success, -1 on failure

int os_get_time ( struct os_time * t )

Get current time (sec, usec)

Parameters

t	Pointer to buffer for the time

Returns: 0 on success, -1 on failure

int os_mktime	(	int	year,
		int	month,
		int	day,
		int	hour,
		int	min,
		int	sec,
		os_time_t *	t
	)

Convert broken-down time into seconds since 1970-01-01.

Parameters

year	Four digit year
month	Month (1 .. 12)
day	Day of month (1 .. 31)
hour	Hour (0 .. 23)
min	Minute (0 .. 59)
sec	Second (0 .. 60)
t	Buffer for returning calendar time representation (seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00)

Returns: 0 on success, -1 on failure

Note: The result is in seconds from Epoch, i.e., in UTC, not in local time which is used by POSIX mktime().

void os_program_deinit ( void )

Program deinitialization (called just before exit)

This function is called just before a program exists. If there are any OS specific processing, e.g., freeing resourced allocated in os_program_init(), it should be done here. It is also acceptable for this function to do nothing.

int os_program_init ( void )

Program initialization (called at start)

Returns: 0 on success, -1 on failure

This function is called when a programs starts. If there are any OS specific processing that is needed, it can be placed here. It is also acceptable to just return 0 if not special processing is needed.

unsigned long os_random ( void )

Get pseudo random value (not necessarily very strong)

Returns: Pseudo random value

char* os_readfile	(	const char *	name,
		size_t *	len
	)

Read a file to an allocated memory buffer.

Parameters

name	Name of the file to read
len	For returning the length of the allocated buffer

Returns: Pointer to the allocated buffer or NULL on failure

This function allocates memory and reads the given file to this buffer. Both binary and text files can be read with this function. The caller is responsible for freeing the returned buffer with os_free().

char* os_rel2abs_path ( const char * rel_path )

Get an absolute path for a file.

Parameters

rel_path Relative path to a file

Returns: Absolute path for the file or NULL on failure

This function tries to convert a relative path of a file to an absolute path in order for the file to be found even if current working directory has changed. The returned value is allocated and caller is responsible for freeing it. It is acceptable to just return the same path in an allocated buffer, e.g., return strdup(rel_path). This function is only used to find configuration files when os_daemonize() may have changed the current working directory and relative path would be pointing to a different location.

int os_setenv	(	const char *	name,
		const char *	value,
		int	overwrite
	)

Set environment variable.

Parameters

name	Name of the variable
value	Value to set to the variable
overwrite	Whether existing variable should be overwritten

Returns: 0 on success, -1 on error

This function is only used for wpa_cli action scripts. OS wrapper does not need to implement this if such functionality is not needed.

void os_sleep	(	os_time_t	sec,
		os_time_t	usec
	)

Sleep (sec, usec)

Parameters

sec	Number of seconds to sleep
usec	Number of microseconds to sleep

int os_unsetenv ( const char * name )

Delete environent variable.

Parameters

name	Name of the variable

Returns: 0 on success, -1 on error

This function is only used for wpa_cli action scripts. OS wrapper does not need to implement this if such functionality is not needed.

void* os_zalloc ( size_t size )

Allocate and zero memory.

Parameters

size	Number of bytes to allocate

Returns: Pointer to allocated and zeroed memory or NULL on failure

Caller is responsible for freeing the returned buffer with os_free().
