I think dbus is pretty nice, but there are environments that won't run dbus. I'd propose that there would be one command/control interface and that the CLI would just be a client of that interface.

So you want something in libc that's portable to all environments and that the CLI is just a client of that interface?
What exactly is your issue with the socket interface that already exists? Sounds like it meets your needs perfectly.
I think your beef is not with the socket itself, but the design of the interaction on it. Nothing stops you from creating a structure styled like route(4) from BSD where each message has a common header type and then you just unroll the structure matching the message from the receive buffer.
Boom, you now are dealing with objects rather than strings. Roy _______________________________________________ Hostap mailing list Hostap@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/hostap
