GetState

No input, returns an output u32.

sdknso implements this by returning the u32, with 0 being returned on error / when service isn't initialized.

Value	Description
0	None
1	Initialized
2	AccessPointOpened
3	AccessPointCreated
4	StationOpened
5	StationConnected
6	Invalid

GetNetworkInfo

Takes a type-0x1A output buffer containing a #NetworkInfo.

GetIpv4Address

No input, returns an output #Ipv4Address and a #SubnetMask.

GetDisconnectReason

No input, returns an output s16.

sdknso implements this by returning the s16 as a s32, with -1 being returned on error.

Value	Description
-1	See above.
0	None
1	User
2	SystemRequest
3	DestroyedByAdmin
4	DestroyedBySystemRequest
5	Admin
6	SignalLost

GetSecurityParameter

No input, returns an output #SecurityParameter.

GetNetworkConfig

No input, returns an output #NetworkConfig.

AttachStateChangeEvent

No input, returns an output Event handle.

sdknso uses EventClearMode=1 with this. sdknso will Abort if this cmd fails.

GetNetworkInfoLatestUpdate

Takes a type-0x1A output buffer containing a #NetworkInfo and a type-0xA output buffer containing an array of #NodeLatestUpdate.

The array count must be 8.

Scan

Takes a type-0x22 output buffer containing an array of #NetworkInfo, a s16 channel, a #ScanFilter, returns an output s16 total_out.

sdknso copies the output s16 to a s32, the value passed for the input s16 is from an user-specified s32 (user-apps generally use value 0 for this).

This is the same as #ScanPrivate, except this also has the same channel-override functionality as #CreateNetwork.

State must be 3-5.

ScanPrivate

Takes a type-0x22 output buffer containing an array of #NetworkInfo, a s16 channel, a #ScanFilter, returns an output s16 total_out.

sdknso copies the output s16 to a s32, the value passed for the input s16 is from an user-specified s32.

SetWirelessControllerRestriction

Takes an input #WirelessControllerRestriction, no output.

State must be 1.

OpenAccessPoint

No input/output.

State must be 1, this cmd eventually sets the State to value 2.

CloseAccessPoint

No input/output.

State must be 2-3, this cmd eventually sets the State to value 1.

CreateNetwork

Takes an input #SecurityConfig, an #UserConfig, a #NetworkConfig, no output.

This is the same as #CreateNetworkPrivate, except the #AddressEntry params are 0, and the #SecurityParameter is generated from "nn::util::TinyMt::GenerateRandomBytes".

Unlike CreateNetworkPrivate, this overwrites the channel field in the #NetworkConfig. When the cached IsDevelopment value is true, the output from GetLdnChannel will overwrite that field if the s32 setting value is >=0, otherwise the original value is used. Otherwise when the IsDevelopment field is false (retail), the channel is overwritten with value 0.

State must be 2, this cmd eventually sets the State to value 3.

CreateNetworkPrivate

Takes an input #SecurityConfig, a #SecurityParameter, an #UserConfig, a #NetworkConfig, a type-0x9 input buffer containing an array of #AddressEntry, no output.

The buffer/count for #AddressEntry can be 0, in which case the network will be non-Private like #CreateNetwork. The count must be <=8.

See #CreateNetwork.

DestroyNetwork

No input/output.

State must be 3, this cmd eventually sets the State to value 2.

Reject

Takes an input #Ipv4Address, no output.

State must be 3.

SetAdvertiseData

Takes a type-0x21 input buffer, no output.

The input buffer contains arbitrary user data.

The buffer size must be <=0x180. An empty buffer (addr=NULL/size=0) can be used to reset the AdvertiseData size in state to zero.

State must be 2-3.

SetStationAcceptPolicy

Takes an input #AcceptPolicy, no output.

State must be 2-3.

AddAcceptFilterEntry

Takes an input #MacAddress, no output.

There are two sdknso funcs implementing this: one which takes a #MacAddress directly, the other loads the #MacAddress from the input #NodeInfo.

State must be 2-3.

ClearAcceptFilter

No input/output.

State must be 2-3.

OpenStation

No input/output.

State must be 1, this cmd eventually sets the State to value 4.

CloseStation

No input/output.

State must be 4-5, this cmd eventually sets the State to value 1.

Connect

Takes a type-0x19 input buffer containing a #NetworkInfo, a #SecurityConfig, an #UserConfig, a s32 LocalCommunicationVersion, a #ConnectOption, no output.

State must be 4, this cmd eventually sets the State to value 5.

This is identical to #ConnectPrivate (besides the below), except the data internally passed for #SecurityParameter/#NetworkConfig are loaded from the input #NetworkInfo.

This overwrites the u16 field at #SecurityConfig+0. When the cached IsDevelopment value is false (retail), value 1 is used, otherwise the used value is: original_field == 0 ? {u16 #NetworkInfo+0x60} : original_field.

ConnectPrivate

Takes a #SecurityConfig, #SecurityParameter, an #UserConfig, a s32 LocalCommunicationVersion, a #ConnectOption, a #NetworkConfig, no output.

See #Connect.

This overwrites the u16 field at #SecurityConfig+0. When the cached IsDevelopment value is false (retail), value 1 is used, otherwise the original value is used.

Disconnect

No input/output.

State must be 5, this cmd eventually sets the State to value 4.

InitializeSystem

Takes an input PID and an u64 pid_placeholder.

This is used immediately after object creation.

With [7.0.0+] #InitializeSystem2 is used instead.

FinalizeSystem

No input/output.

This is used during service exit, prior to closing the object. Official sw will Abort if this fails.

If State is set for it, this will run the equivalent of #CloseAccessPoint/#CloseStation when needed.

State must be non-zero, this cmd eventually sets the State to value 0.

SetOperationMode

Takes an input #OperationMode, no output.

State must be 1.

InitializeSystem2

Takes an input PID, an u32, and an u64 pid_placeholder.

Official sw uses hard-coded value 0x1 for the u32.

The input u32 is ignored, the impl for this cmd is identical to #InitializeSystem.

State must be 0, this cmd eventually sets the State to value 1.
