WPS and retrieve the signal strength in C/C++ - how?


hi,
What library in linux measured signal strength from neighboring APs?

I would like to build the WPS system but do not know how the C / C + + get the signal strength of AP "XXX_name". It's probably very easy but I was looking at "iwlist.c" and a few other files but I still do not know how to do it.
I do not want to use the command shell.

From the morning searching the Internet ....

Thanks for any help
Kris

You can execute iwconfig command through system() call and then capture Signal keyward.
