NAME

nutscan_scan_xml_http_range - Scan network for XML/HTTP devices.

SYNOPSIS

#include <nut-scan.h>
#include <unistd.h> /* useconds_t */
nutscan_device_t * nutscan_scan_xml_http_range(
       const char * start_ip,
       const char * end_ip,
       useconds_t usec_timeout,
       nutscan_xml_t * sec)
nutscan_device_t * nutscan_scan_ip_range_xml_http(
       nutscan_ip_range_list_t * irl,
       useconds_t usec_timeout,
       nutscan_xml_t * sec)

DESCRIPTION

The nutscan_scan_xml_http_range() and nutscan_scan_ip_range_xml_http() functions try to detect NUT compatible XML/HTTP devices.

If start_ip for the former or irl for the latter are NULL, the respective function does this by issuing a broadcast message on all currently configured network interfaces.

Otherwise, the former queries every IP ranging from start_ip to stop_ip, where stopIP is optional; the latter can walk several IP address ranges represented by a nutscan_ip_range_list_t structure. Those IP arguments may be either IPv4 or IPv6 addresses or host names.

It waits up to usec_timeout microseconds for a response from potential devices.

You MUST call nutscan_init(3) before using this function.

RETURN VALUE

The nutscan_scan_xml_http_range() function returns a pointer to a nutscan_device_t structure containing all found devices or NULL if an error occurs or no device is found.
