SSID sniffer on linux, in C

Can someone point to source code in c/c++ for an SSID sniffer on linux?
I am new to this area, and need to get something running quickly. If
not the cource code, let me know the main steps to do this
programatically please. Essentially, I am trying to log the ssid of APs
as the mobile deivce roams around.

Also, if there is a sniffer for bluetooth information (say MAC
address), i want to know that too.

thanks a bunch!

How about kismet?

Can I call kismet functions from a C program?

Open-source kismet is written in c++ so you're invited to re-use the
code subject to the license; but it's not a library. I don't know
where you would find the tools to "get something running quickly".

Hmmmm, sounds suspiciously like someone asking the 'net to do their
homework.

Yep. Checking the posting IP address from the header with RDNS yields
Duke University in Durham North Carolina.
152.3.141.163 PTR record: hassam.cs.duke.edu.
However, this doesn't sound like homework. I don't think that they
offer classes in hacking. Perhaps they do... oh-oh.
