nutscan_scan_nut_simulation(3)

nutscan_scan_nut_simulation3

Scan your sysconfig directory for nut simulation devices.

Usage

        #include <nut-scan.h>
        #include <unistd.h> /* useconds_t */
        nutscan_device_t * nutscan_scan_nut_simulation();

Overview

The nutscan_scan_nut_simulation() function tries to detect available NUT simulation devices, by finding *.dev and *.seq files in your "sysconfig" directory.

You MUST call nutscan_init(3) before using this function.

Return value

The nutscan_scan_nut_simulation() function returns a pointer to a nutscan_device_t structure containing all found devices or NULL if an error occurs or no device is found.

Bugs

This function currently uses the built-in location of the "sysconfig" directory, and does not consider an override with NUT_CONFPATH environment variable accepted by most of the NUT code base.
