NAME

|
|
|
|
nutscan - Network UPS Tools (NUT) device discovery library
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
The Network UPS Tools (NUT) *nutscan* library provides the same discovery
|
|
related features that are also offered by linkman:nut-scanner[8].
|
|
|
|
It enables the discovery of supported NUT devices (USB, SNMP, Eaton XML/HTTP
|
|
and IPMI) and NUT servers (either using Avahi, or the classic connection
|
|
method).
|
|
|
|
|
|
DISCOVERY FUNCTIONS
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
First, include the required header file:
|
|
|
|
#include <nut-scan.h>
|
|
|
|
Then, to discover new devices, use the appropriate function:
|
|
|
|
- linkman:nutscan_scan_usb[3] for supported USB devices,
|
|
- linkman:nutscan_scan_snmp[3] for supported SNMP agents,
|
|
- linkman:nutscan_scan_xml_http_range[3] for Eaton Network Management Card,
|
|
- linkman:nutscan_scan_nut[3] for NUT servers (upsd), using the classic
|
|
method (search for port),
|
|
- linkman:nutscan_scan_avahi[3] for NUT servers (upsd), using the mDNS
|
|
(Avahi) method,
|
|
- linkman:nutscan_scan_ipmi[3] for supported IPMI PSU.
|
|
|
|
|
|
All of these functions return a list of devices found, using the
|
|
`nutscan_device_t` structure. This structure is described in
|
|
linkman:nutscan_add_device_to_device[3].
|
|
|
|
Helper functions are also provided to output data using standard formats:
|
|
|
|
- linkman:nutscan_display_parsable[3] for parsable output,
|
|
- linkman:nutscan_display_ups_conf[3] for ups.conf style.
|
|
|
|
|
|
