The get_mac_addr() function was the only real blocker that prevented
building on BSD systems, as it used the Linux-specific SIOCGIFHWADDR
ioctl. When compiling for Linux, we still use this ioctl, but for the
BSD version we use sysctl().
This allows OwlPS Listener to build on BSD (tested on NetBSD, OpenBSD
and DragonFly). That doesn't mean it will actually work when trying to
capture packets though (that has to be tested on real hardware), but
that's still a progress.
Like in the other modules, we get rid of the old use of "access point".
This has user-visible changes, especially in the configuration (the name
of a few options has been changed).
Use the new terminology "capture point" (CP) instead of "access point"
(AP) everywhere in Aggregator. The only user-visible change is that the
ap_keep_timeout option is now called cp_keep_timeout.
The first field of the Aggregator's CSV output files is now an unsigned
integer that announces the version of the CSV format used. Current
version is 1 and the subsequent fields are not modified, so that an
aggregation file generated with a previous version can still be used by
adding "1;" at the beginning of each line.
The Positioner has been adapted to handle this new format.
Add the option -G (like "Generate configuration file") that dumps the
current configuration on the standard output, so the user can call
owlps-aggregatord [custom options] -G >owlps-aggregator.conf
to generate the configuration file owlps-aggregator.conf.
owl_send_request() and owl_send_packet() get a boolean "verbose"
parameter that allow to enable or disable message display on run-time
and allow to get rid of the OWLPS_DEBUG compile-time option.
This patch is to have clang++ (>= 3.2) happily build OwlPS Positioner.
For some reason it doesn't work on NetBSD, but it is fine on GNU/Linux
and (a couple of warnings apart) on DragonFly BSD.
The file libowlps/owlps-config.h.in was added to allow CMake to pass the
installation prefix variable to the programs. That allows the programs
to look for their configuration file at the right position (i.e. in the
etc/owlps directory under the installation prefix).
Doxygen comments are now used in libowlps, libowlps-client and
libowlps-resultreader. doc/Doxyfile was added as well as CMake rules to
generate man pages for the libraries' header files.
Enable Doxygen option MULTILINE_CPP_IS_BRIEF, so that we don't have to
use \brief: C++-style comments are for brief descriptions and C-style
comments for extended descriptions.
Fix some comments (use @param instead of @arg).
