The following code does the job:


#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <signal.h>

int main()
{
    char *pid, output[1024];
    FILE *fp = popen ( "pidof wpa_supplicant", "r" );
    fgets ( output, 1024, fp );
    fclose ( fp );

    pid = strtok ( output, " " );
    while( pid )
    {
        pid_t wpa_pid=atoi ( pid );
        if ( ( kill ( wpa_pid, SIGTERM ) ) == 0) return 0;
        else {
            kill ( wpa_pid, SIGKILL );        //  Still alive? Die!
return 0;
        }
        pid = strtok ( NULL , " " );
    }
}


Analogous to the following bash script, used in the "kill-all-dhcp" of
netcfg (but extended to all the dhcp clients):


#!/bin/sh
# Killall for dhcp clients.

for client in dhclient udhcpc pump dhcp6c; do
    pid=$(pidof $client) || true
    [ "$pid" ] || continue
echo $pid
    if kill -0 $pid 2>/dev/null; then
        kill -TERM $pid
        sleep 1
        # Still alive? Die!
        if kill -0 $pid 2>/dev/null; then
            kill -KILL $pid
        fi
    fi
done


Cheers,

Aitor.
