NUT command and variable naming scheme
======================================
endif::external_title[]
This is a dump of the standard variables and command names used in NUT.
Don't use a name with any of the dstate functions unless it exists here.
If you need a new variable or command name, contact the Development Team
first.
Put another way: if you make up a name that's not in this list and it
gets into the tree, and then we come up with a better name later, clients
that use the undocumented variable will break when it is changed.
NOTE: "opaque" means programs should not attempt to parse the value for
that variable as it may vary greatly from one UPS to the next. These
strings are best handled directly by the user.
Variables
---------
device: General unit information
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
NOTE: these data will be redundant with some ups.* information
during a transition period. The ups.* data will then be removed.

Three-phase additions
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The additions for three-phase measurements would produce a very long table
due to all the combinations that are possible, so these additions are
broken down to their base components.
Phase Count Determination
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
input.phases (3 for three-phase, absent or 1 for 1phase)
output.phases (as for input.phases)
DOMAINs
^^^^^^^
Any input or output is considered a valid DOMAIN.
input (should really be called input.mains, but keep this for compat)
input.bypass
input.servicebypass
output (should really be called output.load, but keep this for compat)
output.bypass
output.inverter
output.servicebypass
Specification (SPEC)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Voltage, current, frequency, etc are considered to be a specification of
the measurement.
With this notation, the old 1phase naming scheme becomes DOMAIN.SPEC
Example: `input.current`
CONTEXT
^^^^^^^
When in three-phase mode, we need some way to specify the target for most
measurements in more detail. We call this the CONTEXT.
With this notation, the naming scheme becomes DOMAIN.CONTEXT.SPEC when
in three-phase mode.
Example: `input.L1.current`
Valid CONTEXTs
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
L1-L2 \
L2-L3 \
L3-L1 for voltage measurements
L1-N /
L2-N /
L3-N /
L1 \
L2 for currrent and power measurements
L3 /
N - for current measurement
Valid SPECs
^^^^^^^^^^^
Valid with/without context (ie. per phase or aggregated/averaged)
