upsd can call drivers to store values in read/write variables and to kick
|
|
off instant commands. This is how you register handlers for those events.
|
|
|
|
The driver core (drivers/main.c) has a structure called upsh. You
|
|
should populate it with function pointers in your upsdrv_initinfo()
|
|
function. Right now, there are only two possibilities:
|
|
|
|
- setvar = setting UPS variables (SET VAR protocol command)
|
|
- instcmd = instant UPS commands (INSTCMD protocol command)
|
|
|
|
SET
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
If your driver's function for handling variable set events is called
|
|
my_ups_set(), then you'd do this to add the pointer:
|
|
|
|
upsh.setvar = my_ups_set;
|
|
|
|
my_ups_set() will receive two parameters:
|
|
|
|
const char * - the variable being changed
|
|
const char * - the new value
|
|
|
|
You should return either STAT_SET_HANDLED if your driver recognizes the
|
|
command, or STAT_SET_UNKNOWN if it doesn't. Other possibilities will be
|
|
added at some point in the future.
|
|
|
|
INSTCMD
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
This works just like the set process, with slightly different values
|
|
arriving from the server.
|
|
|
|
upsh.instcmd = my_ups_cmd;
|
|
|
|
Your function will receive two args:
|
|
|
|
const char * - the command name
|
|
const char * - (reserved)
|
|
|
|
You should return either STAT_INSTCMD_HANDLED or STAT_INSTCMD_UNKNOWN
|
|
depending on whether your driver can handle the requested command.
|
|
|
|
Notes
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
Use strcasecmp. The command names arriving from upsd should be treated
|
|
without regards to case.
|
|
|
|
Responses
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
Drivers will eventually be expected to send responses to commands.
|
|
Right now, there is no channel to get these back through upsd to
|
|
the client, so this is not implemented.
|
|
|
|
This will probably be implemented with a polling scheme in the clients.
