Have a look at the wl utilities (iwconfig in particular).

you want me to parse the results of the iw tools as output for my application?
i would prefer to find any api in the web for doing that properly...
do you not think so?

if you look at the source code of iwconfig, you'd obviously get the API.

That's what I was suggesting.

Although, you could parse the output of iwconfig if you wanted to...
