NAME
hostapd_cli - text-based frontend program for interacting with hostapd(8)
SYNOPSIS
hostapd_cli [commands]
DESCRIPTION
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.
COMMANDS
The following commands may be supplied on the command line or at a prompt
when operating interactively.
mib Report MIB variables (dot1x, dot11) for the current interface.
sta addr

address addr.
all_sta
