SYNOPSIS
--------
#include <nutclient.h>
typedef void* NUTCLIENT_t;
typedef char** strarr;
strarr nutclient_get_device_variables(NUTCLIENT_t client,
const char* dev);
strarr nutclient_get_device_rw_variables(NUTCLIENT_t client,
const char* dev);
int nutclient_has_device_variable(NUTCLIENT_t client,
const char* dev, const char* var);
char* nutclient_get_device_variable_description(NUTCLIENT_t client,
const char* dev, const char* var);
strarr nutclient_get_device_variable_values(NUTCLIENT_t client,
const char* dev, const char* var);
void nutclient_set_device_variable_value(NUTCLIENT_t client,
const char* dev, const char* var, const char* value);
void nutclient_set_device_variable_values(NUTCLIENT_t client,
const char* dev, const char* var, const strarr values);
DESCRIPTION
-----------
These functions allow to manage variables of devices.
The *nutclient_get_device_variables()* function retrieves the list
of variables names for a device.
The returned strarr must be freed by 'strarr_free'.
The *nutclient_get_device_rw_variables* function retrieves the list
of read-write variables names for a device.
The returned strarr must be freed by 'strarr_free'.
The *nutclient_has_device_variable* function tests if the specified
variable is supported by the device.
Return 1 is supported and 0 if not.
The *nutclient_get_device_variable_description* function retrieves
the variable description, if any.
The returned string must be freed.
The *nutclient_get_device_variable_values* returns variable values
(generally only one).
The returned strarr must be freed by 'strarr_free'.
The *nutclient_set_device_variable_value* intends to set the value
of the specified variable.
The *nutclient_set_device_variable_values* intends to set multiple
values of the specified variable.
Common arguments:
* 'dev' is the device name.
* 'var' is the variable name.
* 'value' is the variable value.
* 'values' is the variable array of values.
