"hostapd -g /var/run/hostapd-global -B" would do that. hostapd runs in
the background (-B) and listens to the global control interface (-g ..)
for local domain socket commands that can be used to instantiate new
interfaces for configuring operations through the control interface
instead of a configuration file.
