# WiFi-rs
A rust crate to interface and manage Wi-Fi networks.
## How it works
- The command creates a new connection and then activates it on a device.
- This is a command-line counterpart of clicking an SSID in a GUI client.
- The command always creates a new connection and thus it is mainly useful for connecting to new Wi-Fi networks.
- If a connection for the network already exists, it is better to bring up (activate) the existing connection as follows: `WiFi::connection_up("SSID")`.
## Currently supported network types
Note that only **open**, **WEP** and **WPA-PSK** networks are supported at the moment.
> It is also supposed that IP configuration is obtained via DHCP.
## Supported Operating Systems
- Windows
- Linux
- OSx
## Example
```RUST
extern crate wifi_rs;
use wifi_rs::{WiFi, Config, WifiConnectionError};
fn main() -> Result<(), WifiConnectionError> {
let config = Some(Config {
interface: Some("wlo1"), // interface : None would default to `wlan0`.
});
let wifi = WiFi::new("AndroidAPSD", config)?;
match wifi.connect("belm4235") {
Ok(result) => println!(
"{}",
if result == true {
"Connection Successfull."
} else {
"Invalid password."
}
),
Err(err) => println!("The following error occurred: {:?}", err),
}
Ok(())
}
```
## To do
