NAME

       libipmidetect - a library of functions to determine if a node is detected or undetected

SYNOPSIS

       #include <ipmidetect.h>

       ipmidetect_t ipmidetect_handle_create(void);

       int ipmidetect_handle_destroy(ipmidetect_t handle);

       int   ipmidetect_load_data(ipmidetect_t  handle,  const  char  *hostname,  int  port,  int
       timeout_len);

       int ipmidetect_errnum(ipmidetect_t handle);

       char *ipmidetect_strerror(int errnum);

       char *ipmidetect_errormsg(int errnum);

       void ipmidetect_perror(ipmidetect_t handle, const char *msg);

       int ipmidetect_get_detected_nodes_string(ipmidetect_t handle, char *buf, int buflen);

       int ipmidetect_get_undetected_nodes_string(ipmidetect_t handle, char *buf, int buflen);

       int ipmidetect_is_node_detected(ipmidetect_t handle, const char *node);

       int ipmidetect_is_node_undetected(ipmidetect_t handle, const char *node);

DESCRIPTION

       Libipmidetect implements a high level API for determing which nodes in a cluster do or do-
       not  support  IPMI.  This  library is primarily useful for detecting whe nodes are removed
       from a cluster for servicing, so that IPMI applications can  avoid  unnecessary  timeouts.
       The library interacts with the ipmidetectd(8) daemon.
