UPSCLI_SENDLINE(3)
==================
NAME
----
upscli_sendline, upscli_sendline_timeout - send a single command to a UPS
SYNOPSIS
--------
#include <upsclient.h>
#include <time.h> /* or <sys/time.h> on some platforms */
int upscli_sendline(UPSCONN_t *ups, const char *buf, size_t buflen);
int upscli_sendline_timeout(UPSCONN_t *ups, const char *buf, size_t buflen,
const time_t timeout);
DESCRIPTION
-----------
The *upscli_sendline()* and *upscli_sendline_timeout()* functions take the
pointer 'ups' to a `UPSCONN_t` state structure and transmit a buffer 'buf'
of size 'buflen' to the server.
The data in 'buf' must be a fully formatted protocol command as no
parsing of the buffer occurs within this function.
The difference between the two functions is that *upscli_sendline_timeout()*
lets the caller decide the amount of time ('timeout' seconds) after which it
should give up and return, whereas *upscli_sendline()* does not offer this
freedom, and uses an immediate timeout (0 second).
RETURN VALUE
------------
The *upscli_sendline()* and *upscli_sendline_timeout()* functions
return 0 on success, or -1 if an error occurs.
