NAME

       nutscan_get_serial_ports_list - Get a port list name from a range of port.

SYNOPSIS

               #include <nut-scan.h>

               char ** nutscan_get_serial_ports_list(const char *ports_range);

DESCRIPTION

       The nutscan_get_serial_ports_list() function returns a null terminated array of strings generated from a
       port range.

       The ports_range may be one of:

       •   a single character from 0 to 9 or a to z, representing a serial communication port depending on the
           operating system. For instance:

           •   0 is converted to /dev/ttyS0 and /dev/ttyUSB0 on Linux;

           •   1 is converted to COM1 on Windows;

           •   c is converted to /dev/ttyc on Solaris...

       •   a range of character in the form X-Y. For instance

           •   0-1 will be converted to /dev/ttyS0, /dev/ttyS1, /dev/ttyUSB0 and /dev/ttyUSB1 on Linux;

           •   1-3 will be converted to COM1, COM2 and COM3 on Windows;

           •   a-c will be converted to /dev/ttya, /dev/ttyb and /dev/ttyc on Solaris.

       •   a single port name (/dev/ttyS5, COM4...).

       •   a list of port names separated with commas: /dev/ttyS0,/dev/ttyS2,/dev/ttyS4 or COM1,COM3...

       The returned array can be used in a call to nutscan_scan_eaton_serial to get the serial-port device on a
       system.

RETURN VALUE

       The nutscan_get_serial_ports_list() function returns NULL if an error occurred (invalid port range) or a
       pointer to a NULL-terminated array of strings on success.

NOTES

       Technically, the function is currently defined in nutscan-serial.h file.
