root access - How to create a wifi hotspot from the terminal?

How would you suggest to create a hotspot from a root terminal?

I would need to create

• hidden hotspot


• hotspot without password

I am looking for an equivalent of create_ap for android. Here is the full help section to get an insight of what I would need:

Usage: create_ap [options]  [] [ []]

Options:
  -h, --help              Show this help
  --version               Print version number
  -c             Channel number (default: 1)
  -w         Use 1 for WPA, use 2 for WPA2, use 1+2 for both (default: 1+2)
  -n                      Disable Internet sharing (if you use this, don't pass

                          the  argument)
  -m              Method for Internet sharing.
                          Use: 'nat' for NAT (default)
                               'bridge' for bridging
                               'none' for no Internet sharing (equivalent to -n)
  --psk                   Use 64 hex digits pre-shared-key instead of passphrase
  --hidden                Make the Access Point hidden (do not broadcast the SSID)
  --mac-filter            Enable MAC address filtering
  --mac-filter-accept     Location of MAC address filter list (defaults to /etc/hostapd/hostapd.accept)
  --redirect-to-localhost If -n is set, redirect every web request to localhost (useful for public information networks)

  --hostapd-debug  With level between 1 and 2, passes arguments -d or -dd to hostapd for debugging.
  --isolate-clients       Disable communication between clients
  --ieee80211n            Enable IEEE 802.11n (HT)
  --ieee80211ac           Enable IEEE 802.11ac (VHT)
  --ht_capab          HT capabilities (default: [HT40+])
  --vht_capab        VHT capabilities
  --country         Set two-letter country code for regularity (example: US)
  --freq-band        Set frequency band. Valid inputs: 2.4, 5 (default: 2.4)
  --driver                Choose your WiFi adapter driver (default: nl80211)
  --no-virt               Do not create virtual interface

  --no-haveged            Do not run 'haveged' automatically when needed
  --fix-unmanaged         If NetworkManager shows your interface as unmanaged after you
                          close create_ap, then use this option to switch your interface
                          back to managed
  --mac              Set MAC address
  --dhcp-dns   Set DNS returned by DHCP
  --daemon                Run create_ap in the background
  --stop              Send stop command to an already running create_ap. For an 
                          you can put the PID of create_ap or the WiFi interface. You can
                          get them with --list-running

  --list-running          Show the create_ap processes that are already running
  --list-clients      List the clients connected to create_ap instance associated with .
                          For an  you can put the PID of create_ap or the WiFi interface.
                          If virtual WiFi interface was created, then use that one.
                          You can get them with --list-running
  --mkconfig   Store configs in conf_file
  --config     Load configs from conf_file

Non-Bridging Options:
  --no-dns                Disable dnsmasq DNS server

  -g             IPv4 Gateway for the Access Point (default: 192.168.12.1)
  -d                      DNS server will take into account /etc/hosts

Useful informations:
  * If you're not using the --no-virt option, then you can create an AP with the same
    interface you are getting your Internet connection.
  * You can pass your SSID and password through pipe or through arguments (see examples).
  * On bridge method if the  is not a bridge interface, then
    a bridge interface is created automatically.


Examples:
  create_ap wlan0 eth0 MyAccessPoint MyPassPhrase
  echo -e 'MyAccessPoint\nMyPassPhrase' | create_ap wlan0 eth0
  create_ap wlan0 eth0 MyAccessPoint
  echo 'MyAccessPoint' | create_ap wlan0 eth0
  create_ap wlan0 wlan0 MyAccessPoint MyPassPhrase
  create_ap -n wlan0 MyAccessPoint MyPassPhrase
  create_ap -m bridge wlan0 eth0 MyAccessPoint MyPassPhrase
  create_ap -m bridge wlan0 br0 MyAccessPoint MyPassPhrase
  create_ap --driver rtl871xdrv wlan0 eth0 MyAccessPoint MyPassPhrase

  create_ap --daemon wlan0 eth0 MyAccessPoint MyPassPhrase
  create_ap --stop wlan0

Answer

This is done with hostapd located in /system/bin/hostapd in principle.

You may generate a hotspot through the interface and get the command with

ps | grep hostapd
