/*
* scan_access_points.c: Prints all detected access points with wlan0 using NL80211 (netlink).
*
* Only works on network interfaces whose drivers are compatible with Netlink. Test this by running `iw list`.
*
* Since only privileged users may submit NL80211_CMD_TRIGGER_SCAN, you'll have to run the compiled program as root.
*
* Build with: gcc $(pkg-config --cflags --libs libnl-genl-3.0) scan_access_points.c
*
* Raspbian prerequisites:
* sudo apt-get install libnl-genl-3-dev
*
* Resources:
* http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/jberg/iw.git/tree/scan.c
* http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21601521/how-to-use-the-libnl-library-to-trigger-nl80211-commands
