15
16wpa_supplicant implementation is divided into number of independent
17modules. Core code includes functionality for controlling the network
18selection, association, and configuration. Independent modules include
19WPA code (key handshake, PMKSA caching, pre-authentication), EAPOL
20state machine, and EAP state machine and methods. In addition, there
21are number of separate files for generic helper functions.
22
23Both WPA and EAPOL/EAP state machines can be used separately in other
24programs than wpa_supplicant. As an example, the included test
25programs eapol_test and preauth_test are using these modules.
26
27\ref driver_wrapper "Driver interface API" is defined in \ref driver.h and
28all hardware/driver dependent functionality is implemented in
29driver_*.c.
