.SH DESCRIPTION
The \fBupscli_upserror()\fP function takes the pointer \fIups\fP to a
UPSCONN state structure and returns the value of the internal error
number, if any.
.PP
This is typically used to check for certain error values like
UPSCLI_ERR_UNKCOMMAND. That specific error can be used for detecting
older versions of \fBupsd\fR(8) which might not support a given command.
.PP
Some error messages have additional meanings, so you should use
\fBupscli_strerror\fR(3) to obtain readable error messages.
.PP
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
The \fBupscli_upserror()\fP function returns one of the UPSCLI_ERR_*
values from \fBupsclient.h\fR, or 0 if no error has occurred.
