NAME
       upscli_splitname - split a UPS definition into its components

SYNOPSIS
       #include <upsclient.h>

       int upscli_splitname(const char *buf, char **upsname,
                                      char **hostname, int *port)

DESCRIPTION
       The upscli_splitname() function takes a pointer to the raw UPS
       definition buf and returns pointers to dynamically allocated memory in
       upsname and hostname. It also copies the port number into port.

FORMATTING
       A UPS definition is specified according to this format:

           <upsname>[@<hostname>[:<port>]]

       When the UPS name is not given, this function will print an error to
       stderr and return -1 without changing anything.

       Definitions without an explicit port value receive the default value of
       3493. The default hostname is "localhost".

MEMORY USAGE
       You must free(3) the pointers to upsname and hostname when you are done
       with them to avoid memory leaks.

RETURN VALUE
       The upscli_splitname() function returns 0 on success, or -1 if an error
       occurs.
