UPSCLI_SPLITNAME(3)
===================
NAME
----
upscli_splitname - split a UPS definition into its components
SYNOPSIS
--------
#include <upsclient.h>
int upscli_splitname(const char *buf, char **upsname,
char **hostname, int *port)
DESCRIPTION
-----------
The *upscli_splitname()* function takes a pointer to the raw UPS
definition 'buf' and returns pointers to dynamically allocated
memory in 'upsname' and 'hostname'. It also copies the port
number into 'port'.
FORMATTING
----------
A UPS definition is specified according to this format:
<upsname>[@<hostname>[:<port>]]
When the UPS name is not given, this function will print an error to
stderr and return -1 without changing anything.
Definitions without an explicit port value receive the default value of
3493. The default hostname is "localhost".
MEMORY USAGE
------------
You must *free*(3) the pointers to 'upsname' and 'hostname'
when you are done with them to avoid memory leaks.
RETURN VALUE
------------
The *upscli_splitname()* function returns 0 on success, or -1 if an
error occurs.
