File: /usr/share/man/man5/wpa_supplicant.conf.5.gz
In one of
/usr/share/man/man5/wpa_supplicant.conf.5.gz
/usr/share/doc/wpa_supplicant/examples/wpa_supplicant.conf
/usr/share/doc/wpa_supplicant/README.gz
please finally formally mention the syntax of the configuration file.
Mention that leading spaces on each line are ignored.
Mention that
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant update_config=1
cannot be all put on one line, as using -dd will show, this is parsed as
ctrl_interface='/var/run/wpa_supplicant update_config=1'
Mention that
network={
ssid="plaintext-test"
key_mgmt=NONE
}
cannot be written with any fewer lines either,
as there can only be one '=' on each line also just the same.
E.g., one cannot write:
network={ssid="plaintext-test" key_mgmt=NONE};
network={ssid="plaintext-test" key_mgmt=NONE}
network={ ssid="plaintext-test" key_mgmt=NONE }
network={; ssid="plaintext-test"; key_mgmt=NONE;}
network={ssid="plaintext-test"; key_mgmt=NONE;}
Also mention there is no way to do
# wpasupplicant --conf 'network={ssid="plaintext-test" key_mgmt=NONE};'
etc. for diskless/read-only systems.
