NAME

       nutscan_scan_ipmi - Scan local IPMI devices.

SYNOPSIS

               #include <nut-scan.h>

               nutscan_device_t * nutscan_scan_ipmi(
                       const char * startIP,
                       const char * stopIP,
                       nutscan_ipmi_t * sec);

               nutscan_device_t * nutscan_scan_ip_range_ipmi(
                       nutscan_ip_range_list_t * irl,
                       nutscan_ipmi_t * sec);

DESCRIPTION

       The nutscan_scan_ipmi() and nutscan_scan_ip_range_ipmi() functions try to detect IPMI manageable devices.

       If start_ip for the former or irl for the latter are NULL, the respective function searches for a local
       PSU.

       Otherwise, it searches for remote hosts that would serve IPMI protocols, and would try to authenticate
       using the data in sec structure.

       The former issues an IPMI request on every IP ranging from startIP to stopIP, where startIP is mandatory
       and stopIP is optional (one startIP address is scanned if stopIP is NULL); while the latter can walk
       several IP address ranges represented by a nutscan_ip_range_list_t structure.

       Those IP arguments may be either IPv4 or IPv6 addresses or host names.

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

BUGS

       Design or implementation of this function may be incomplete: until recently, this man page stated that it
       was not implemented yet. Source code is present, although some blocks are commented away or hidden with
       #if 0.

RETURN VALUE

       The nutscan_scan_ipmi() function is not implemented yet.
