NAME

nutscan_scan_eaton_serial - Scan serial ports for Eaton devices (XCP, SHUT and Q1).

SYNOPSIS

        #include <nut-scan.h>

        nutscan_device_t * nutscan_scan_eaton_serial(const char* ports_list);

DESCRIPTION

The nutscan_scan_eaton_serial() function tries to detect NUT devices which are compatible with Eaton’s serial device protocols (SHUT, XCP and Q1 (aka blazer or megatec)).

ports_list is a string specifying a serial port, a range such as 0-1, or a comma-separated list such as /dev/ttyS0,/dev/ttyS1. The function expands this string internally using nutscan_get_serial_ports_list(3), which describes the supported syntax and platform-specific port names.

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

RETURN VALUE

The nutscan_scan_eaton_serial() 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.
