NAME

       libnutclient_tcp, nutclient_tcp_create_client, nutclient_tcp_is_connected,
       nutclient_tcp_disconnect, nutclient_tcp_reconnect, nutclient_tcp_set_timeout,
       nutclient_tcp_get_timeout - TCP protocol related function for Network UPS Tools high-level
       client access library

SYNOPSIS

       #include <nutclient.h>
       #include <cstdint> /* uint16_t */
       #include <ctime> /* time_t */

       typedef NUTCLIENT_t NUTCLIENT_TCP_t;

       NUTCLIENT_TCP_t nutclient_tcp_create_client(
               const char* host, uint16_t port);

       int nutclient_tcp_is_connected(NUTCLIENT_TCP_t client);

       void nutclient_tcp_disconnect(NUTCLIENT_TCP_t client);

       int nutclient_tcp_reconnect(NUTCLIENT_TCP_t client);

       void nutclient_tcp_set_timeout(NUTCLIENT_TCP_t client, time_t timeout);

       time_t nutclient_tcp_get_timeout(NUTCLIENT_TCP_t client);

DESCRIPTION

       These functions allow to manage connections to upsd(8) using NUT TCP protocol.

       The nutclient_tcp_create_client() function create the NUTCLIENT_TCP_t context and intend
       to connect to upsd at host and port. The context must be freed by nutclient_destroy()host can be a sever name or a valid IPv4 or IPv6 address like "localhost", "127.0.0.1"
           or "::1".

       •   port is a valid TCP port, generally 3493.

       The nutclient_tcp_is_connected() function test if the connection is valid.

       The nutclient_tcp_disconnect() function force to disconnect the specified connection.

       The nutclient_tcp_reconnect() function force to reconnect a connection, disconnecting it
       if needed.

       The nutclient_tcp_set_timeout() function set the timeout duration for I/O operations.

       The nutclient_tcp_get_timeout() function retrieve the timeout duration for I/O operations.

       timeout values are specified in seconds, negatives values for blocking.
