Answer 1

printf("Socket opened successfully \n");

//id = new char(IW_ESSID_MAX_SIZE+1);
char buffer[32];
memset(buffer, 0, 32);
wreq.u.essid.pointer = buffer;
wreq.u.essid.length = 32;

//wreq.u.essid.pointer = id;
if (ioctl(sockfd,SIOCGIWESSID, &wreq) == -1) {
    fprintf(stderr, "Get ESSID ioctl failed \n");
    fprintf(stderr, "errno = %d \n", errno);
    fprintf(stderr, "Error description : %s\n",strerror(errno));
    exit(2);
}
printf("IOCTL Successfull\n");
