UPSCLI_CONNECT(3)
|
||
|
|
=================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
NAME
|
||
|
|
----
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
upscli_connect - Open a connection to a NUT upsd
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
--------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#include <upsclient.h>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
int upscli_connect(UPSCONN_t *ups, const char *host, int port, int flags);
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
-----------
|
||
|
|
The *upscli_connect()* function takes the pointer 'ups' to a
|
||
|
|
`UPSCONN_t` state structure and opens a TCP connection to the 'host' on
|
||
|
|
the given 'port'.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
'flags' may be either `UPSCLI_CONN_TRYSSL` to try a SSL
|
||
|
|
connection, or `UPSCLI_CONN_REQSSL` to require a SSL connection.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If SSL mode is required, this function will only return successfully if
|
||
|
|
it is able to establish a SSL connection with the server. Possible
|
||
|
|
reasons for failure include no SSL support on the server, and if
|
||
|
|
*upsclient* itself hasn't been compiled with SSL support.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You must call linkman:upscli_disconnect[3] when finished with a
|
||
|
|
connection, or your program will slowly leak memory and file
|
||
|
|
descriptors.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
RETURN VALUE
|
||
|
|
------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The *upscli_connect()* function modifies the `UPSCONN_t` structure and
|
||
|
|
returns 0 on success, or -1 if an error occurs.
|
