I do not know whether you have heard of the search engine named google, 
but, from doing a search of the World Wide Web, using google, the 
following are some of the first results displayed.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/wpa_supplicant
- "wpa_supplicant is a cross-platform supplicant with support for WPA, 
WPA2 and WPA3 (IEEE 802.11i). It is suitable for desktops, laptops and 
embedded systems. It is the IEEE 802.1X/WPA component that is used in 
the client stations. It implements key negotiation with a WPA 
authenticator and it controls the roaming and IEEE 802.11 
authentication/association of the wireless driver."

https://w1.fi/wpa_supplicant/
- "Linux WPA/WPA2/WPA3/IEEE 802.1X Supplicant

wpa_supplicant is a WPA Supplicant for Linux, BSD, Mac OS X, and Windows 
with support for WPA, WPA2 (IEEE 802.11i / RSN), and WPA3. It is 
suitable for both desktop/laptop computers and embedded systems. 
Supplicant is the IEEE 802.1X/WPA component that is used in the client 
stations. It implements key negotiation with a WPA Authenticator and it 
controls the roaming and IEEE 802.11 authentication/association of the 
wlan driver.

wpa_supplicant is designed to be a "daemon" program that runs in the 
background and acts as the backend component controlling the wireless 
connection. wpa_supplicant supports separate frontend programs and a 
text-based frontend (wpa_cli) and a GUI (wpa_gui) are included with 
wpa_supplicant."

and, of course, ...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wpa_supplicant
- "wpa_supplicant is a free software implementation of an IEEE 802.11i 
supplicant for Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, QNX, AROS, Microsoft Windows, 
Solaris, OS/2 (including ArcaOS and eComStation)[2] and Haiku.[3] In 
addition to being a WPA3 and WPA2 supplicant, it also implements WPA and 
older wireless LAN security protocols.
Features

Features include:[4]

     WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK ("WPA-Personal", pre-shared key)
     WPA3[5]
     WPA with EAP ("WPA-Enterprise", for example with RADIUS 
authentication server)
     RSN: PMKSA caching, pre-authentication
     IEEE 802.11r
     IEEE 802.11w
     Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)

Included with the supplicant are a GUI and a command-line utility for 
interacting with the running supplicant. From either of these interfaces 
it is possible to review a list of currently visible networks, select 
one of them, provide any additional security information needed to 
authenticate with the network (for example, a passphrase, or username 
and password) and add it to the preference list to enable automatic 
reconnection in the future."
