NUTSCAN_DISPLAY_SANI(3)

💖 NUTSCAN_DISPLAY_SANI(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the NUT Manual — yes, the manual manual, we're in section 3, it's giving "library functions" and honestly? iconic. this one's about nutscan_display_sanity_check, and no cap, it's a little helper that snitches on your UPS config before you commit to it. let's go 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

nutscan_display_sanity_check — displays sanity check warnings about the specified nutscan_device_t structure on stdout. literally just a vibe check for your devices 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <nut-scan.h>

void nutscan_display_sanity_check(nutscan_device_t * device);

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea, bestie: nutscan_display_sanity_check() calls all the sanity-check analyzers against every NUT device hanging out in device, and those analyzers may print comments to stdout. it doesn't just dump chaos everywhere though — it displays them in a way that you can directly copy them straight into the ups.conf file. like, copy-paste-ready, no editing era. ✨

and why does it exist? because it gets called from nutscan_display_ups_conf_with_sanity_check() so you can get the whole aggregate content for your ups.conf file in one shot. one and done, main character behavior fr fr 👑
