hostp2pd | Fi Direct Session Manager , implementing a host AP daemon

hostp2pd is a Python library typically used in Internet of Things (IoT) applications. hostp2pd has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has build file available and it has low support. However hostp2pd has a Non-SPDX License. You can install using 'pip install hostp2pd' or download it from GitHub, PyPI.

hostp2pd implements a soft host [Access Point] (AP) software in [Wi-Fi Direct] mode, enabling a [wireless network interface card] to act as Ad hoc access point and [Wi-Fi Protected Setup] (WPS) [authentication server] It features basic functionalities roughly similar to [hostapd] (with its [hostapd.conf] configuration file), which is the common AP software integrated with wpa_supplicant, generally used for [infrastructure mode networking] When implementing a [P2P persistent group] [wpa_supplicant] offers the [P2P-GO] features enabled by hostp2pd to connect P2P Clients like Android smartphones, as well as provide the standard infrastructure AP mode to the same P2P-GO group, without the need of hostapd. In order to accept [Wi-Fi Direct] connections from P2P Clients, to activate a local [P2P-GO] (Wi-Fi Direct Group Owner) and to perform WPS authentication, hostp2pd fully relies on wpa_supplicant, interfacing it through the [wpa_cli] command-line interface ([CLI] wpa_cli is run in background and [p2p commands] are piped via pseudo-tty communication, while events returned by wpa_cli are read and processed. hostp2pd includes a command-line interface mode for monitoring and controlling; it can be executed as a batch or as a daemon and provides an API for integration into other Python programs.
