Network id can be received from the Save the current configuration. +\subsection ctrl_iface_P2P_FIND P2P_FIND + +Start P2P device discovery. Optional parameter can be used to specify +the duration for the discovery in seconds (e.g., "P2P_FIND 5"). If the +duration is not specified, discovery will be started for indefinite +time, i.e., until it is terminated by P2P_STOP_FIND or P2P_CONNECT (to +start group formation with a discovered peer). + +The default search type is to first run a full scan of all channels +and then continue scanning only social channels (1, 6, 11). This +behavior can be changed by specifying a different search type: social +(e.g., "P2P_FIND 5 type=social") will skip the initial full scan and +only search social channels; progressive (e.g., "P2P_FIND +type=progressive") starts with a full scan and then searches +progressively through all channels one channel at the time with the +social channel scans. Progressive device discovery can be used to find +new groups (and groups that were not found during the initial scan, +e.g., due to the GO being asleep) over time without adding +considerable extra delay for every Search state round. + + +\subsection ctrl_iface_P2P_STOP_FIND P2P_STOP_FIND + +Stop ongoing P2P device discovery or other operation (connect, listen +mode). + + +\subsection ctrl_iface_P2P_CONNECT P2P_CONNECT + +Start P2P group formation with a discovered P2P peer. This includes +group owner negotiation, group interface setup, provisioning, and +establishing data connection. + +P2P_CONNECT <peer device address> <pbc|pin|PIN#> +[label|display|keypad] [persistent] [join|auth] [go_intent=<0..15>] + +Start P2P group formation with a discovered P2P peer. This includes +optional group owner negotiation, group interface setup, provisioning, +and establishing data connection. + +The <pbc|pin|PIN#> parameter specifies the WPS provisioning +method. "pbc" string starts pushbutton method, "pin" string start PIN +method using an automatically generated PIN (which will be returned as +the command return code), PIN# means that a pre-selected PIN can be +used (e.g., 12345670). [label|display|keypad] is used with PIN method +to specify which PIN is used (label=PIN from local label, +display=dynamically generated random PIN from local display, +keypad=PIN entered from peer device label or display). "persistent" +parameter can be used to request a persistent group to be formed. + +"join" indicates that this is a command to join an existing group as a +client. It skips the GO Negotiation part. + +"auth" indicates that the WPS parameters are authorized for the peer +device without actually starting GO Negotiation (i.e., the peer is +expected to initiate GO Negotiation). This is mainly for testing +purposes. + +The optional "go_intent" parameter can be used to override the default +GO Intent value. + + +\subsection ctrl_iface_P2P_LISTEN P2P_LISTEN + +Start Listen-only state. Optional parameter can be used to specify the +duration for the Listen operation in seconds. This command may not +be of that much use during normal operations and is mainly designed +for testing. It can also be used to keep the device discoverable +without having to maintain a group. + + +\subsection ctrl_iface_P2P_GROUP_REMOVE P2P_GROUP_REMOVE + +Terminate a P2P group. If a new virtual network interface was used for +the group, it will also be removed. The network interface name of the +group interface is used as a parameter for this command. + + +\subsection ctrl_iface_P2P_GROUP_ADD P2P_GROUP_ADD + +Set up a P2P group owner manually (i.e., without group owner +negotiation with a specific peer). This is also known as autonomous +GO. Optional persistent=<network id> can be used to specify restart of +a persistent group. + + +\subsection ctrl_iface_P2P_PROV_DISC P2P_PROV_DISC + +Send P2P provision discovery request to the specified peer. The +parameters for this command are the P2P device address of the peer and +the desired configuration method. For example, "P2P_PROV_DISC +02:01:02:03:04:05 display" would request the peer to display a PIN for +us and "P2P_PROV_DISC 02:01:02:03:04:05 keypad" would request the peer +to enter a PIN that we display. + + +\subsection ctrl_iface_P2P_GET_PASSPHRASE P2P_GET_PASSPHRASE + +Get the passphrase for a group (only available when acting as a GO). + + +\subsection ctrl_iface_P2P_SERV_DISC_REQ P2P_SERV_DISC_REQ + +Schedule a P2P service discovery request. The parameters for this +command are the device address of the peer device (or 00:00:00:00:00:00 +for wildcard query that is sent to every discovered P2P peer that +supports service discovery) and P2P Service Query TLV(s) as hexdump. +For example, "P2P_SERV_DISC_REQ 00:00:00:00:00:00 02000001" schedules +a request for listing all supported service discovery protocols and +requests this to be sent to all discovered peers. The pending requests +are sent during device discovery (see \ref ctrl_iface_P2P_FIND). + +This command returns an identifier for the pending query (e.g., +"1f77628") that can be used to cancel the request. Directed requests +will be automatically removed when the specified peer has replied to +it. + + +\subsection ctrl_iface_P2P_SERV_DISC_CANCEL_REQ P2P_SERV_DISC_CANCEL_REQ + +Cancel a pending P2P service discovery request. This command takes a +single parameter: identifier for the pending query (the value returned +by \ref ctrl_iface_P2P_SERV_DISC_REQ), e.g., +"P2P_SERV_DISC_CANCEL_REQ 1f77628". + + +\subsection ctrl_iface_P2P_SERV_DISC_RESP P2P_SERV_DISC_RESP + +Reply to a service discovery query. This command takes following +parameters: frequency in MHz, destination address, dialog token, +response TLV(s). The first three parameters are copied from the +request event. For example, +"P2P_SERV_DISC_RESP 2437 02:40:61:c2:f3:b7 1 0300000101". + + +\subsection ctrl_iface_P2P_SERVICE_UPDATE P2P_SERVICE_UPDATE + +Indicate that local services have changed. This is used to increment +the P2P service indicator value so that peers know when previously +cached information may have changed. + + +\subsection ctrl_iface_P2P_SERV_DISC_EXTERNAL P2P_SERV_DISC_EXTERNAL + +Configure external processing of P2P service requests: 0 (default) = +no external processing of requests (i.e., internal code will reject +each request), 1 = external processing of requests (external program +is responsible for replying to service discovery requests with +\ref ctrl_iface_P2P_SERV_DISC_RESP). + + +\subsection ctrl_iface_P2P_REJECT P2P_REJECT + +Reject connection attempt from a peer (specified with a device +address). This is a mechanism to reject a pending GO Negotiation with +a peer and request to automatically block any further connection or +discovery of the peer. + + +\subsection ctrl_iface_P2P_INVITE P2P_INVITE + +Invite a peer to join a group or to (re)start a persistent group. + + +\subsection ctrl_iface_P2P_PEER P2P_PEER + +Fetch information about a discovered peer. This command takes in an +argument specifying which peer to select: P2P Device Address of the +peer, "FIRST" to indicate the first peer in the list, or "NEXT-<P2P +Device Address>" to indicate the entry following the specified peer +(to allow for iterating through the list). + + +\subsection ctrl_iface_P2P_EXT_LISTEN P2P_EXT_LISTEN + +Enable/disable extended listen timing. Without parameters, this +command disables extended listen timing. When enabling the feature, +two parameters are used: availibility period and availability interval +(both in milliseconds and with range of 1-65535). + + \section ctrl_iface_interactive Interactive requests If %wpa_supplicant needs additional information during authentication @@ -715,4 +896,158 @@ AP_STA_DISCONNECTED: A station disassociated (AP mode event) AP-STA-DISCONNECTED 02:2a:c4:18:5b:f3 \endverbatim +\subsection ctrl_iface_event_P2P_EVENT_DEVICE_FOUND P2P-DEVICE-FOUND + +P2P_EVENT_DEVICE_FOUND: Indication of a discovered P2P device with +information about that device. + +\verbatim +P2P-DEVICE-FOUND 02:b5:64:63:30:63 p2p_dev_addr=02:b5:64:63:30:63 +pri_dev_type=1-0050f204-1 name='Wireless Client' config_methods=0x84 +dev_capab=0x21 group_capab=0x0 +\endverbatim + +\subsection ctrl_iface_event_P2P_EVENT_GO_NEG_REQUEST P2P-GO-NEG-REQUEST + +P2P_EVENT_GO_NEG_REQUEST: A P2P device requested GO negotiation, but we +were not ready to start the negotiation. + +\verbatim +P2P-GO-NEG-REQUEST 02:40:61:c2:f3:b7 +\endverbatim + +\subsection ctrl_iface_event_P2P_EVENT_GO_NEG_SUCCESS P2P-GO-NEG-SUCCESS + +P2P_EVENT_GO_NEG_SUCCESS: Indication of successfully complete group +owner negotiation. + +\subsection ctrl_iface_event_P2P_EVENT_GO_NEG_FAILURE P2P-GO-NEG-FAILURE + +P2P_EVENT_GO_NEG_FAILURE: Indication of failed group owner negotiation. + +\subsection ctrl_iface_event_P2P_EVENT_GROUP_FORMATION_SUCCESS P2P-GROUP-FORMATION-SUCCESS + +P2P_EVENT_GROUP_FORMATION_SUCCESS: Indication that P2P group formation +has been completed successfully. + +\subsection ctrl_iface_event_P2P_EVENT_GROUP_FORMATION_FAILURE P2P-GROUP-FORMATION-FAILURE + +P2P_EVENT_GROUP_FORMATION_FAILURE: Indication that P2P group formation +failed (e.g., due to provisioning failure or timeout). + +\subsection ctrl_iface_event_P2P_EVENT_GROUP_STARTED P2P-GROUP-STARTED + +P2P_EVENT_GROUP_STARTED: Indication of a new P2P group having been +started.
