nutscan_init - Man Page

        #include <nut-scan​.h>

        void nutscan_init(void);

The nutscan_init() function must be called at least once before using any other function of the nutscan library​.

It updates the following global variables which can be used by nutscan library user to know which scan methods are available at run-time​.

This depends on further libraries installed on the system:

• nutscan_avail_avahi = 1: AVAHI NUT scan is available
• nutscan_avail_ipmi = 1: IPMI scan is available
• nutscan_avail_nut = 1: "Old" NUT method is available
• nutscan_avail_nut_simulation = 1: NUT simulation devices method is available
• nutscan_avail_snmp = 1: SNMP method is available
• nutscan_avail_usb = 1: USB method is available
• nutscan_avail_xml_http = 1: XML HTTP method is available

Note that if a method is reported as unavailable by those variables, the call to the corresponding nutscan_scan_* function will always return NULL​.

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