用ioctl获取无线网络信息 /usr//include/linux/wireless.h

1、UNIX Network Programming环境搭建

Unix NetWork Programming――环境搭建（解决unp.h等源码编译问题）

http://blog.csdn.net/a649518776/article/details/6724121

注：按照连接操作即可，编译要加 -lunp  选项

2、用户态和核心态的交换方式

在 linux下，要实现核心态和用户态数据的交互，有多种方式：可以通用socket创建特殊套接字，利用套接字实现数据交互；通过proc文件系统创建文 件来进行数据交互；还可以使用设备文件的方式，访问设备文件会调用设备驱动相应的例程，设备驱动本身就是核心态和用户态的一个接口，Tun/tap驱动就 是利用设备文件实现用户态和核心态的数据交互。

3、与系统错误有关的函数

（1）errno

头文件：#include

函数原型：errno

功能：记录系统的最后一次错误代码

参数：无

返回值：错误代号（整型值）

例子：

if((sockfd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, 0)) == -1) { 
        fprintf(stderr, "Cannot open socket /n"); 
        fprintf(stderr, "errno = %d /n", errno); 
        fprintf(stderr, "Error description is : %s/n",strerror(errno)); 
        exit(1);

} 
printf("Socket opened successfully /n");

（2）strerror   strerror_r

头文件：#include

函数原型：

char *strerror(int errnum);

char *_strerror(const char *strErrMsg);

wchar_t * _wcserror(int errnum);

wchar_t * __wcserror(const wchar_t *strErrMsg);

参数：errnum――错误代码，strErrMsg――用户提供的信息。

返回值：指向错误信息的指针。

例子：同（1）

（3）perror

头文件：#include #include//

函数原型：void perror(const char *s); perror ("open_port");

函数功能：

perror ( )用 来 将 上 一 个 函 数 发 生 错 误 的 原 因 输 出 到 标 准 设备 (stderr) 。参数 s 所指的字符串会先打印出,后面再加上错误原因字符串。此错误原因依照全局变量errno 的值来决定要输出的字符串。

在库函数中有个errno变量，每个errno值对应着以字符串表示的错误类型。当你调用"某些"函数出错时，该函数已经重新设置了errno的值。perror函数只是将你输入的一些信息和现在的errno所对应的错误一起输出。

参数：用户输入的字符串

返回值：无

例子：

if(( sockfd = socket(AF_INET,SOCK_DGRAM,0))<0) 
    { 
        perror("error"); 
        exit(1); 
    } 
    else 
    { 
        printf("socket created successfully!/n"); 
        printf("socket id:%d/n",sockfd); 
        printf("remote ip:%s/n",REMOTEIP); 
        printf("remote port: %d/n/n",REMOTEPORT); 
    }

总结：貌似perror比较方便

4、memset

头文件：在C中 <memory.h> or 在C++中

函数原型：void *memset(void *s, int ch, size_t n);

函数功能：将s中前n个字节替换为ch并返回s；作用是在一段内存块中填充某个给定的值，它是对较大的结构体或数组进行清零操作的一种最快方法。

注：如果不用memeset清零，可能会出现野值。

5、iwreq结构体  

http://schwer.bewaff.net/code/_wireless/wireless.h

（1）头文件：#include

struct iwreq { union { char ifrn_name[IFNAMSIZ]; /* if name, e.g. "eth0" */ } ifr_ifrn; /* Data part */ union { /* Config - generic */ char name[IFNAMSIZ]; /* Name : used to verify the presence of wireless extensions. * Name of the protocol/provider... */ struct iw_point essid; /* Extended network name */ struct iw_param nwid; /* network id (or domain - the cell) */ struct iw_freq freq; /* frequency or channel : * 0-1000 = channel * > 1000 = frequency in Hz */ struct iw_param sens; /* signal level threshold */ struct iw_param bitrate; /* default bit rate */ struct iw_param rts; /* RTS threshold threshold */ struct iw_param frag; /* Fragmentation threshold */ __u32 mode; /* Operation mode */ struct iw_point encoding; /* Encoding stuff : tokens */ struct iw_param power; /* PM duration/timeout */ struct sockaddr ap_addr; /* Access point address */ struct iw_point data; /* Other large parameters */ } u;};（2）struct iw_point{ caddr_t pointer; /* Pointer to the data (in user space) */ __u16 length; /* number of fields or size in bytes */ __u16 flags; /* Optional params */};struct iw_param{ __s32 value; /* The value of the parameter itself */ __u8 fixed; /* Hardware should not use auto select */ __u8 disabled; /* Disable the feature */ __u16 flags; /* Various specifc flags (if any) */};其中typedef   void*   caddr_t 即caddr_t是void*型typedef unsigned short __u16 即__u16是unsigned short型(以_t结尾的一般说明是typedef定义后的数据类型，typedef主要解决跨平台编译问题)

6、ifreq

/* Interface request structure used for socket ioctl's.  All interface 
ioctl's must have parameter definitions which begin with ifr_name. 
The remainder may be interface specific.  */

struct ifreq 
{ 
# define IFHWADDRLEN 6 
# define IFNAMSIZ IF_NAMESIZE 
   union 
     { 
char ifrn_name[IFNAMSIZ]; /* Interface name, e.g. "en0".  */ 
     } ifr_ifrn;

union 
     { 
struct sockaddr ifru_addr; 
struct sockaddr ifru_dstaddr; 
struct sockaddr ifru_broadaddr; 
struct sockaddr ifru_netmask; 
struct sockaddr ifru_hwaddr; 
short int ifru_flags; 
int ifru_ivalue; 
int ifru_mtu; 
struct ifmap ifru_map; 
char ifru_slave[IFNAMSIZ]; /* Just fits the size */ 
char ifru_newname[IFNAMSIZ]; 
__caddr_t ifru_data; 
     } ifr_ifru; 
}; 
# define ifr_name ifr_ifrn.ifrn_name /* interface name */ 
# define ifr_hwaddr ifr_ifru.ifru_hwaddr /* MAC address */ 
# define ifr_addr ifr_ifru.ifru_addr /* address */ 
# define ifr_dstaddr ifr_ifru.ifru_dstaddr /* other end of p-p lnk */ 
# define ifr_broadaddr ifr_ifru.ifru_broadaddr /* broadcast address */ 
# define ifr_netmask ifr_ifru.ifru_netmask /* interface net mask */ 
# define ifr_flags ifr_ifru.ifru_flags /* flags */ 
# define ifr_metric ifr_ifru.ifru_ivalue /* metric */ 
# define ifr_mtu ifr_ifru.ifru_mtu /* mtu */ 
# define ifr_map ifr_ifru.ifru_map /* device map */ 
# define ifr_slave ifr_ifru.ifru_slave /* slave device */ 
# define ifr_data ifr_ifru.ifru_data /* for use by interface */ 
# define ifr_ifindex ifr_ifru.ifru_ivalue    /* interface index      */ 
# define ifr_bandwidth ifr_ifru.ifru_ivalue /* link bandwidth */ 
# define ifr_qlen ifr_ifru.ifru_ivalue /* queue length */ 
# define ifr_newname ifr_ifru.ifru_newname /* New name */ 
# define _IOT_ifreq _IOT(_IOTS(char),IFNAMSIZ,_IOTS(char),16,0,0) 
# define _IOT_ifreq_short _IOT(_IOTS(char),IFNAMSIZ,_IOTS(short),1,0,0) 
# define _IOT_ifreq_int _IOT(_IOTS(char),IFNAMSIZ,_IOTS(int),1,0,0)

注：其中sockaddr

struct sockaddr {

uint8_t sa_len;

sa_family_t sa_family;    /*地址族：AF_XXX*/

char sa_data[14];          /*14字节协议地址*/

}

7、struct union

参考：http://hi.baidu.com/amoyedll/blog/item/900a811f4b515d164034176a.html

（1）

struct 和union都是由多个不同的数据类型成员组成, 但在任何同一时刻, union中只存放了一个被选中的成员, 而struct的所有成员都存在。在struct中，各成员都占有自己的内存空间，它们是同时存在的。一个struct变量的总长度等于所有成员长度之 和。在Union中，所有成员不能同时占用它的内存空间，它们不能同时存在。Union变量的长度等于最长的成员的长度。

（2）对于union的不同成员赋值, 将会对其它成员重写, 原来成员的值就不存在了,而对于struct的不同成员赋值是互不影响的。注：（１）、（２）两点是相通的，即union的成员共用一块内存（该块内存的大小是union成员中占用内存长度最长的），而struct各成员占用自己的内存空间。（3）例子

#include

void main() 
{ 
union{                                                /*定义一个联合*/ 
   int i; 
   struct{                                     /*在联合中定义一个结构*/ 
    char first; 
    char second; 
   }half; 
}number; 
number.i=0x4241; /*联合成员赋值*/ 
cout<<number.half.first<<number.half.second<<endl; 
number.half.first='a';                  /*联合中结构成员赋值*/ 
number.half.second='b'; 
cout<<hex<<number.i<<endl; /*每一个变量前都加一个 << hex    ,并且int型可以转换，而float、double是转化不了的*/ 
}

输出结果为: 
AB 
6261

在这里i 和 half结构是共用内存 
number.i=0x4241给i赋值后,内存中以二进制存储0100 0010 0100 0001 
按顺序对应到结构中 
halt.first=01000010   转换成10进制就是66（字母A的asc码） 
halt.second=01000001 转换成10进制是65   （字母B的asc码） 
所以输出后就是 AB
