hostapd_cli
—
text-based frontend program for interacting with
hostapd(8)
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.
The following commands may be supplied on the command line or at a prompt when
operating interactively.
mib
