NAME

       upscli_splitname - split a UPS definition into its components

SYNOPSIS

       #include <upsclient.h>

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

DESCRIPTION

       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.

FORMATTING

       A 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".

MEMORY USAGE

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

RETURN VALUE

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