"""Issue a scan request to the kernel and wait for it to reply with a signal.
This function issues NL80211_CMD_TRIGGER_SCAN which requires root privileges.
The way NL80211 works is first you issue NL80211_CMD_TRIGGER_SCAN and wait for the kernel to signal that the scan is
done. When that signal occurs, data is not yet available. The signal tells us if the scan was aborted or if it was
successful (if new scan results are waiting). This function handles that simple signal.
May exit the program (sys.exit()) if a fatal error occurs.
Positional arguments:
sk -- nl_sock class instance (from nl_socket_alloc()).
if_index -- interface index (integer).
driver_id -- nl80211 driver ID from genl_ctrl_resolve() (integer).
mcid -- nl80211 scanning group ID from genl_ctrl_resolve_grp() (integer).
Returns:
0 on success or a negative error code.
