UPSCLI_SPLITADDR(3)
===================

NAME
----

upscli_splitaddr - split a listening address into its components

SYNOPSIS
--------


 #include <upsclient.h>

 int upscli_splitaddr(const char *buf, char **hostname,
				int *port)

DESCRIPTION
-----------

The *upscli_splitaddr()* 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 listening address definition is specified according to this format:

	<hostname>[:<port>]

Definitions without an explicit port value receive the default value of
3493.

MEMORY USAGE
------------

You must *free*(3) the pointer 'hostname' when you are done
with it to avoid memory leaks.

RETURN VALUE
------------

The *upscli_splitaddr()* function returns 0 on success, or -1 if an
error occurs.
