NAME
libipmidetect - a library of functions to determine if a node is
detected or undetected
SYNOPSIS
#include <ipmidetect.h>
ipmidetect_t ipmidetect_handle_create(void);
int ipmidetect_handle_destroy(ipmidetect_t handle);
int ipmidetect_load_data(ipmidetect_t handle, const char *hostname, int
port, int timeout_len);
int ipmidetect_errnum(ipmidetect_t handle);
char *ipmidetect_strerror(int errnum);
char *ipmidetect_errormsg(int errnum);
void ipmidetect_perror(ipmidetect_t handle, const char *msg);
int ipmidetect_get_detected_nodes_string(ipmidetect_t handle, char
*buf, int buflen);
int ipmidetect_get_undetected_nodes_string(ipmidetect_t handle, char
*buf, int buflen);
int ipmidetect_is_node_detected(ipmidetect_t handle, const char *node);
int ipmidetect_is_node_undetected(ipmidetect_t handle, const char
*node);
DESCRIPTION
Libipmidetect implements a high level API for determing which nodes in
a cluster do or do-not support IPMI. This library is primarily useful
for detecting whe nodes are removed from a cluster for servicing, so
that IPMI applications can avoid unnecessary timeouts. The library
interacts with the ipmidetectd(8) daemon.
