Introduction to the WD API

Introduction

The WD library is a library for using the Wii's internal wireless communication module.
The wireless communication module is used for the Internet communication and MP communication. When these types of communication are being carried out, the system automatically drives the wireless communication module. For this reason, it is not necessary to use the WD library for the purpose of performing normal communication. Use the SO library or MP library instead. Moreover, a feature for performing normal communication directly has not been disclosed as an API.
The API included in the WD library is not for normal communication but rather for the purpose of scanning environments with wireless signals. It drives the wireless communication module directly, so be careful not to conduct a scan while performing normal communications. Conversely, be careful not to start normal communication while a scan is in progress.

In order to use the API contained in the WD library, link wd[D].a.
Place the following header file in an include statement in the program's source code:

#include <revolution/wd/WDScan.h>
