LIBNUTCLIENT(3) NUT Manual LIBNUTCLIENT(3)NAMElibnutclient - Network UPS Tools high-level client access library
SYNOPSIS
#include <nutclient.h>
Refer to this file for more information.
DESCRIPTION
The Network UPS Tools (NUT) nutclient library provides a number of
useful functions for programs to use when communicating with upsd(8).
It provides high-level representation of NUT data through client
connection, devices, variables and commands. Unlike upsclient(3), all
low-level protocol details are hidden.
State is maintained across calls in an opaque structure called
NUTCLIENT_t. Callers are expected to create one per client connection.
These will be provided to most of the nutclient functions. The format
of this structure is subject to change, and client programs must not
reference elements within it directly.
NUTCLIENT_t represents the common connection information. Derived
versions exist for each connection type (NUTCLIENT_TCP_t for TCP
connection; actually the unique connection type, NUTCLIENT_TCP_t can be
passed as NUTCLIENT_t parameter).
See the nutclient.h header for more information.
ERROR HANDLING
There is currently no specific mechanism around error handling.
