Field Documentation

char* wpa_params::pid_file

Path to a PID (process ID) file. If this and daemonize are set, process ID of the background process will be written to the specified file. Definition at line 120 of file wpa_supplicant_i.h.

int wpa_params::wait_for_interface

Wait for the network interface to appear. If set, wpa_supplicant will wait until all the configured network interfaces are available before starting processing. Please note that in many cases, a better alternative would be to start wpa_supplicant without network interfaces and add the interfaces dynamically whenever they become available. Definition at line 105 of file wpa_supplicant_i.h.

int wpa_params::wpa_debug_show_keys

Whether keying material is included in debug. This parameter can be used to allow keying material to be included in debug messages. This is a security risk and this option should not be enabled in normal configuration. If needed during development or while troubleshooting, this option can provide more details for figuring out what is happening. Definition at line 138 of file wpa_supplicant_i.h.
