This crate aims to provide a low level access to nl80211.
This crate is inspired by the go wifi package made by @mdlayher.
:warning: This library only works on Linux.
:warning: This crate is a work in progress
This crate has some built-in functions to fetch information and metrics of wifi interfaces and wireless networks.
```rust extern crate nl80211; extern crate neli;
use nl80211::Socket; use nl80211::PrettyFormat;
fn main() -> Result<(), neli::err::NlError> { let interfaces = Socket::connect()?.getinterfacesinfo()?;
for interface in interfaces { println!("{:#?}", interface);
// Interface {
// index: Some([3, 0, 0, 0]),
// ssid: Some([101, 100, 117, 114, 111, 97, 109]),
// mac: Some([255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255]),
// name: Some([119, 108, 112, 53, 115, 48]),
// frequency: Some([108, 9, 0, 0]),
// channel: Some([1, 0, 0, 0]),
// power: Some([164, 6, 0, 0]),
// phy: Some([0, 0, 0, 0]),
// device: Some([1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0])
// }
println!("{}", interface.pretty_format());
// essid : eduroam
// mac : FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF
// interface : wlp5s0
// frequency : 2.412 Ghz
// channel : 1
// power : 17 dBm
// phy : 0
// device : 1
}
Ok(())
