SYNOPSIS

Note
Two NUT websites

This version of the page reflects NUT release v2.8.1 with codebase commited 4ba352d8f at 2023-10-31T21:46:20+01:00

Options, features and capabilities in current development (and future releases) are detailed on the main site and may differ from ones described here.

DESCRIPTION

These functions allow to manage variables of devices.

The nutclient_get_device_variables() function retrieves the list of variables names for a device. The returned strarr must be freed by strarr_free.

The nutclient_get_device_rw_variables function retrieves the list of read-write variables names for a device. The returned strarr must be freed by strarr_free.

The nutclient_has_device_variable function tests if the specified variable is supported by the device. Return 1 is supported and 0 if not.

The nutclient_get_device_variable_description function retrieves the variable description, if any. The returned string must be freed.

The nutclient_get_device_variable_values returns variable values (generally only one). The returned strarr must be freed by strarr_free.

The nutclient_set_device_variable_value intends to set the value of the specified variable.

The nutclient_set_device_variable_values intends to set multiple values of the specified variable.

Common arguments:

  • dev is the device name.

  • var is the variable name.

  • value is the variable value.

  • values is the variable array of values.
