The code #define WIFI_AUTH_OPEN ENC_TYPE_NONE
is a preprocessor macro definition in C or C++. Here's what it does:
- Using
#define
, it assigns the valueENC_TYPE_NONE
to the macro (WIFI_AUTH_OPEN
). - The preprocessor will replace all occurrences of
WIFI_AUTH_OPEN
in the code withENC_TYPE_NONE
before the compilation process.
In Context
This is likely used in Wi-Fi or networking code to specify an "open" Wi-Fi authentication type, meaning a Wi-Fi network with no encryption (unencrypted or open access). ENC_TYPE_NONE
probably comes from a library or framework that enumerates Wi-Fi encryption/authentication types (e.g., WPA, WPA2, WEP). By defining WIFI_AUTH_OPEN
as ENC_TYPE_NONE
, it might make the code easier to understand by giving it a more descriptive name for this specific purpose.
For example:
if (wifiAuthType == WIFI_AUTH_OPEN) {
// Handle open network connection
}
This is more readable than directly using ENC_TYPE_NONE
in the code.
