SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
The
hostapd_cli utility is a text-based frontend program for
interacting with
hostapd(8). It
is used to query the current status.
The
hostapd_cli utility can show the current authentication
status, dot11 and dot1x MIBs, etc.
The
hostapd_cli utility supports two modes: interactive and
command line. Both modes share the same command set.
Interactive mode is started when
hostapd_cli is executed
without any parameters on the command line. Commands are then entered from the
controlling terminal in response to the
hostapd_cli prompt.
In command line mode, the same commands are entered as command line arguments.
