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 pa-
     rameters on the command line.  Commands are then entered from the con-
     trolling 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.
