Detailed Description

WPA Supplicant / main() function for Win32 service.

The root of wpa_supplicant configuration in registry is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\wpa_supplicant. This level includes global parameters and a 'interfaces' subkey with all the interface configuration (adapter to confname mapping). Each such mapping is a subkey that has 'adapter' and 'config' values.

This program can be run either as a normal command line application, e.g., for debugging, with 'wpasvc.exe app' or as a Windows service. Service need to be registered with 'wpasvc.exe reg <full path to wpasvc.exe>'. After this, it can be started like any other Windows service (e.g., 'net start wpasvc') or it can be configured to start automatically through the Services tool in administrative tasks. The service can be unregistered with 'wpasvc.exe unreg'.
