Description
I added a disconnect function by using CLI functions that do not require to be root. Those functions turn off the wifi first and, after an optional delay, turn it on again. Since disconnecting from a network or a device properly may require a delay, I included a sleep function to do it without generating a Promise, like a setTimeout would do.
Motivation and Context
On Mac the disconnect was a missed functionality.
Usage examples
const WiFiControl = require('node-wifi');
WiFiControl.init({
iface: null,
debug: true,
delay: 5 // delay in seconds
});
//....
WiFiControll.disconnect();
How Has This Been Tested?
I tested it on OSX version 10.14.6.
