NAME

       libnuclient - NUFW client authentication library

SYNOPSIS

       #include <nuclient.h>

       NuAuth  *  nu_client_init  (const  char  *nptr,  char *username,  unsigned long userid,  char * password,
       char * hostname,  unsigned int port,  char protocol,  char ssl_on);

       int nu_client_check (NuAuth * session);

       void nu_client_free (NuAuth *session);

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents the libnuclient library.

       Use nu_client_init to initialize a authentication session. Then call nu_client_check at regular  interval
       to  send  authentication  packet to the gateway (if needed). When you're finished, call nu_client_free to
       free the session.

       Original packaging and informations and help can be found from http://www.nufw.org/

RETURN VALUE

       nu_client_init returns an authentication session usable by nu_client_check or nu_client_free.

       nu_client_check returns the number of packets authenticated to the nuauth  server  during  the  call.  It
       returns  -1  if  an error occur when sending authentication packet. Applications MUST considered that the
       session is unusable when they receive this error.

ERRORS

       nu_client_init return NULL it a problem occur during initiation
