.SH "NAME"
|
|
upscli_list_next \- retrieve list items from a UPS
|
|
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
|
|
.sp
|
|
.nf
|
|
#include <upsclient\&.h>
|
|
.fi
|
|
.sp
|
|
.nf
|

int upscli_list_next(UPSCONN_t *ups, int numq, const char **query,
|
|
int *numa, char ***answer)
|

|
|
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
|
|
.sp
|
|
The \fBupscli_list_next()\fR function takes the pointer \fIups\fR to a UPSCONN_t state structure, and the pointer \fIquery\fR to an array of \fInumq\fR query elements\&. It performs a read from the network and expects to find either another list item or the end of a list\&.
|
|
.sp
|
|
You must call \fBupscli_list_start\fR(3) before calling this function\&.
|
|
.sp
|
|
This function will return 1 and set values in \fInuma\fR and \fIanswer\fR if a list item is received\&. If the list is done, it will return 0, and the values in \fInuma\fR and \fIanswer\fR are undefined\&.
|
|
.sp
|
|
Calling this function after it returns something other than 1 is undefined\&.
|
|
.SH "QUERY FORMATTING"
|
|
.sp
|
|
You may not change the values of \fInumq\fR or \fIquery\fR between the call to \fBupscli_list_start\fR(3) and the first call to this function\&. You also may not change the values between calls to this function\&.
|
|
.SH "ANSWER FORMATTING"
|
|
.sp
|
|
The contents of \fInuma\fR and \fIanswer\fR work just like a call to \fBupscli_get\fR(3)\&. The values returned by \fBupsd\fR(8) are identical to a single item request, so this is not surprising\&.
|
|
.SH "ERROR CHECKING"
|
|
.sp
|
|
This function checks the response from \fBupsd\fR(8) against your query\&. If the response is not part of the list you have requested, it will return an error code\&.
|
|
.sp
|
|
When this happens, \fBupscli_upserror\fR(3) will return UPSCLI_ERR_PROTOCOL\&.
|
|
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
|
|
.sp
|
|
The \fBupscli_list_next()\fR function returns 1 when list data is present, 0 if the list is finished, or \-1 if an error occurs\&.
|
|
.sp
|
|
It is possible to have an empty list\&. The function will return 0 for its first call in that case\&.

|
