through hostapd_cli. This will create the link interfaces in the name of
<ifname>_link<X>
Example:
To fetch link 0 status from wlan0, below command can be used -
$ hostapd_cli -i wlan0 -l 0 status
On failure of link/interface selection, below error will be observed
$ hostapd_cli -i wlan0 -l 2 status
