Parameters for wpa_supplicant_init()

Field Documentation

char* wpa_params::entropy_file

Optional entropy file.

This parameter can be used to configure wpa_supplicant to maintain its internal entropy store over restarts.

char* wpa_params::override_ctrl_interface

Optional ctrl_interface override.

This parameter can be used to override the ctrl_interface parameter in dynamic interface addition to force a control interface to be created.

char* wpa_params::override_driver

Optional driver parameter override.

This parameter can be used to override the driver parameter in dynamic interface addition to force a specific driver wrapper to be used instead.

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.

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.
