upscli_splitname - Man Page

        #include <upsclient​.h>

        int upscli_splitname(const char *buf, char **upsname,
                char **hostname, int *port)

The upscli_splitname() function takes a pointer to the raw UPS definition buf and returns pointers to dynamically allocated memory in upsname and hostname​. It also copies the port number into port​.

An UPS definition is specified according to this format:

<upsname>[@<hostname>[:<port>]]

When the UPS name is not given, this function will print an error to stderr and return -1 without changing anything​.

Definitions without an explicit port value receive the default value of 3493​. The default hostname is "localhost"​.

You must free(3) the pointers to upsname and hostname when you are done with them to avoid memory leaks​.

The upscli_splitname() function returns 0 on success, or -1 if an error occurs​.
