\mainpage Developers' documentation for %wpa_supplicant

%wpa_supplicant is a WPA Supplicant for Linux, BSD and Windows with
support for WPA and WPA2 (IEEE 802.11i / RSN). Supplicant is the IEEE
802.1X/WPA component that is used in the client stations. It
implements key negotiation with a WPA Authenticator and it can optionally
control roaming and IEEE 802.11 authentication/association of the wlan
driver.

The goal of this documentation and comments in the source code is to
give enough information for other developers to understand how
%wpa_supplicant has been implemented, how it can be modified, how new
drivers can be supported, and how %wpa_supplicant can be ported to
other operating systems. If any information is missing, feel free to
contact Jouni Malinen <jkmaline@cc.hut.fi> for more
information. Contributions as patch files are also very welcome at the
same address. Please note that %wpa_supplicant is licensed under dual
license, GPLv2 or BSD at user's choice. All contributions to
%wpa_supplicant are expected to use compatible licensing terms.

The source code and read-only access to %wpa_supplicant CVS repository
is available from the project home page at
http://hostap.epitest.fi/wpa_supplicant/. This developers' documentation
is also available as a PDF file from
http://hostap.epitest.fi/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant-devel-04.pdf .

The design goal for %wpa_supplicant was to use hardware, driver, and
OS independent, portable C code for all WPA functionality. The source
code is divided into separate C files as shown on the \ref
code_structure "code structure page". All hardware/driver specific
functionality is in separate files that implement a \ref
driver_wrapper "well-defined driver API". Information about porting
to different target boards and operating systems is available on
the \ref porting "porting page".

EAPOL (IEEE 802.1X) state machines are implemented as a separate
module that interacts with \ref eap_module "EAP peer implementation".
In addition to programs aimed at normal production use,
%wpa_supplicant source tree includes number of \ref testing_tools
"testing and development tools" that make it easier to test the
programs without having to setup a full test setup with wireless
cards. These tools can also be used to implement automatic test
suites.

%wpa_supplicant implements a
\ref ctrl_iface_page "control interface" that can be used by
external programs to control the operations of the %wpa_supplicant
daemon and to get status information and event notifications. There is
a small C library that provides helper functions to facilitate the use of the
control interface. This library can also be used with C++.
