SYNOPSIS

       hostapd [-hdBKtv] [-P <PID file>] <configuration file(s)>

DESCRIPTION

       hostapd	is  designed  to  be  a "daemon" program that runs in the background and acts as the backend component controlling authentication.
       hostapd supports separate frontend programs and an example text-based frontend, hostapd_cli, is included with hostapd.

OPTIONS

       A summary of options is included below.	For a complete description, run hostapd from the command line.

       -h     Show usage.

       -d     Show more debug messages.

       -dd    Show even more debug messages.

       -B     Run daemon in the background.

       -P <PID file>
	      Path to PID file.

       -K     Include key data in debug messages.

       -t     Include timestamps in some debug messages.

       -v     Show hostapd version.
