nutscan_scan_nut_simulation - Man Page

Scan your sysconfig directory for NUT simulation devices​.

Synopsis

        #include <nut-scan​.h>
        #include <unistd​.h> /* useconds_t */

        nutscan_device_t * nutscan_scan_nut_simulation();

Description

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​.

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​.

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​.
