P2P hierarchy
=============
Service net.connman.iwd
Interface net.connman.iwd.p2p.Device [Experimental]
Object path /net/connman/iwd/{phy0,phy1,...}
Methods array(on) GetPeers()
Returns a list (possibly empty) of detected P2P peers.
Each record returned contains a tuple of the following
values.
object Object
The net.connman.iwd.p2p.Peer object
representing the peer device.
int16 SignalStrength
Peer's signal strength expressed in 100 * dBm.
The value is the range of 0 (strongest signal)
to -10000 (weakest signal.)
void RequestDiscovery()
Starts device discovery if not already happening and
registers the calling D-Bus client as requiring device
discovery. The discovery phase will be active until
all registered clients have called ReleaseDiscovery()
or disconnected from D-Bus.
Possible errors: [service].Error.AlreadyExists
void ReleaseDiscovery()
Unregisters the calling client as requiring device
discovery. Clients should do this as soon as they
stop displaying or otherwise using the list of
discovered peer devices to avoid keeping the Wi-Fi
adapter occupied unnecessarily.
Possible errors: [service].Error.NotFound
void RegisterSignalLevelAgent(object path,
array(int16) levels)
Register the agent object to receive signal strength
level change notifications on the
net.connman.iwd.Station.SignalLevelAgent interface,
see station-api.txt. The "levels" parameter decides
the thresholds in dBm that will generate a call to
the agent's Changed method whenever current RSSI
crosses any of the values. The values must be
passed in descending order. The number and distance
between requested threshold values is a compromise
between resolution and the frequency of system
wakeups and context-switches that are going to be
occuring to update the client's signal meter. Only
one agent can be registered at any time.
Possible errors: [service].Error.InvalidArguments
[service].Error.Failed
[service].Error.AlreadyExists
[service].Error.NotSupported
void UnregisterSignalLevelAgent(object path)
Unregister an existing agent.
Possible errors: [service].Error.InvalidArguments
[service].Error.NotFound
Properties boolean Enabled [readwrite]
Whether local P2P device is started and ready to
start device discovery, become discoverable by peers
and connect to peers.
string Name [readwrite]
Sets local P2P device name as it is going to be
presented on other devices that we will connect to
or ones that discover us in scanning.
uint16 AvailableConnections [readonly]
Minimum number of peers the hardware is capable of
connecting to in the current configuration and in
addition to any connections already established.
Often 1 while idle and 0 if connected to a peer,
connecting, disconnecting or otherwise busy.
A non-zero number is to be interpreted as meaning
that the device is capable of making *at least*
that many new connections as the final number may
depend on parameters negotiated with future peers.
