Hi,
I would like to write a C program to run into my AP which will have to read my configuration.
To do this on WhiteRussian was pretty simple, because bcmnvram.h contains all nvram functions I need.
What about Kamikaze? What is the most convenient way? Reading /etc/config files? Making a call system to the bash (e.g. uci show > /tmp/uci_show)? Or there are better ways?
Thanks

The most elegant way is to write a C API for UCI. There is already a API for shell scripts.
