nutscan_get_serial_ports_list - Man Page

        #include <nut-scan​.h>

        char ** nutscan_get_serial_ports_list(const char *ports_range);

The nutscan_get_serial_ports_list() function returns a null terminated array of strings generated from a port range​.

The ports_range may be one of:

• a single character from 0 to 9 or a to z, representing a serial communication port depending on the operating system​. For instance:

  • 0 is converted to /dev/ttyS0 and /dev/ttyUSB0 on Linux;
  • 1 is converted to COM1 on Windows;
  • c is converted to /dev/ttyc on Solaris​...

• a range of character in the form X-Y​. For instance

  • 0-1 will be converted to /dev/ttyS0, /dev/ttyS1, /dev/ttyUSB0 and /dev/ttyUSB1 on Linux;
  • 1-3 will be converted to COM1, COM2 and COM3 on Windows;
  • a-c will be converted to /dev/ttya, /dev/ttyb and /dev/ttyc on Solaris​.
• a single port name (/dev/ttyS5, COM4​...)​.
• a list of port names separated with commas: /dev/ttyS0,/dev/ttyS2,/dev/ttyS4 or COM1,COM3​...

The returned array can be used in a call to nutscan_scan_eaton_serial to get the serial-port device on a system​.

The nutscan_get_serial_ports_list() function returns NULL if an error occurred (invalid port range) or a pointer to a NULL-terminated array of strings on success​.

Technically, the function is currently defined in nutscan-serial​.h file​.
