nutscan \- Network UPS Tools (NUT) device discovery library
|
|
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
|
|
.sp
|
|
The Network UPS Tools (NUT) \fBnutscan\fR library provides the same discovery related features that are also offered by \fBnut-scanner\fR(8)\&.
|
|
.sp
|
|
It allows to discover supported NUT devices (USB, SNMP, Eaton XML/HTTP and IPMI) and NUT servers (using Avahi or the classic connection method)\&.
|
|
.SH "DISCOVERY FUNCTIONS"
|
|
.sp
|
|
First, include the needed header file:
|
|
.sp
|
|
.if n \{\

.RS 4
|
|
.\}
|
|
.nf
|
|
#include <nut\-scan\&.h>
|
|
.fi
|
|
.if n \{\
|
|
.RE
|
|
.\}
|
|
.sp
|
|
Then, to discover new devices, use the appropriate function:
|
|
.sp
|
|
.RS 4
|
|
.ie n \{\
|
|
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
|

.sp -1
|
|
.IP \(bu 2.3
|
|
.\}
|
|
|
|
\fBnutscan_scan_usb\fR(3)

|
for supported USB devices,
|
|
.RE
|
