confusing command line readme #230

It's a bit confusing. I'm no pro, but when i read that there's a aur package for arch linux i installed this. In the command line readme it is written to install by pacman -S create_ap. When i do both, it says create_ap and linux-wifi-hotspot are in conflict.

Moreover, it is written in the readme that there is a command to hide the ssid. But there is no command written. Also it is written that you can start or enable the create_ap via systemctl (systemd). But with trial and error i got to the point that the commands earlier are useless (setting Accesspoint name, passphrase and so on) because there is a create_ap file in /etc/ to setup the systemctl. Where the passphrase would be written in clear text btw. Am i right or did i miss something? Like i said, the command line readme is a bit confusing here.

I've seen the command line readme is dated 2019.

Yes, that README file is outdated since more focus was on GUI tool. Will update that. Thanks
