SYNOPSIS

       #include <nutclient.h>

       typedef void* NUTCLIENT_t;

       void nutclient_authenticate(
               NUTCLIENT_t client,
               const char* login, const char* passwd);

       void nutclient_logout(NUTCLIENT_t client);

       void nutclient_device_login(NUTCLIENT_t client, const char* dev);

       int nutclient_get_device_num_logins(NUTCLIENT_t client, const char* dev);

       void nutclient_device_primary(NUTCLIENT_t client, const char* dev);
       /* OBSOLETED name: */
       void nutclient_device_master(NUTCLIENT_t client, const char* dev);

       void nutclient_device_forced_shutdown(NUTCLIENT_t client, const char* dev);

DESCRIPTION

       The nutclient_authenticate() function authenticates the user.

       •   login is the user name.

       •   passwd is the user password.

       The nutclient_logout() function disconnects gracefully from the server.

       The nutclient_device_login() function logs the fact that a system is drawing power from
       this UPS.

       The nutclient_get_device_num_logins() function retrieves the number of clients which have
       been logged for this device.

       The nutclient_device_master() and nutclient_device_primary() (note: the former is
       obsoleted since NUT v2.8.0 in favor of the latter) functions make sure that primary-mode
       functions like FSD are available if necessary.

       The nutclient_device_forced_shutdown() function sets the "forced shutdown" flag on the
       device.

       dev is the device name.
