NUTSCAN_INIT(3)                   NUT Manual                   NUTSCAN_INIT(3)



NAME
       nutscan_init - Initialize the nutscan library.

SYNOPSIS
       #include <nut-scan.h>

       void nutscan_init();

DESCRIPTION
       The nutscan_init() function must be called at least once before using
       any other function of the nutscan library.

       It updates the following global variables which can be used by nutscan
       library user to know which scan methods are available at run-time. This
       depends on the libraries installed on the system:

           nutscan_avail_avahi = 1 : AVAHI scan is available
           nutscan_avail_ipmi = 1 : IPMI scan is available
           nutscan_avail_nut = 1 : Old NUT method is available
           nutscan_avail_snmp = 1 : SNMP method is available
           nutscan_avail_usb = 1 : USB method is available
           nutscan_avail_xml_http = 1 : XML HTTP method is available

       Note that if a method is reported as unavailable by those variables,
       the call to the corresponding nutscan_scan_* function will always
       return NULL.
