NUTSCAN_DISPLAY_UPS_(3)

✨ NUTSCAN_DISPLAY_UPS_CONF_WITH_SANITY_CHECK ✨

okay bestie, so this is a page from the NUT Manual — that's the Network UPS Tools manual, in case the acronym wasn't giving enough 💅 — and we're about to talk about one very specific little function that is genuinely kind of a bop.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

nutscan_display_ups_conf_with_sanity_check — it shows off the nutscan_device_t structure you hand it, and also drops some sanity-check warnings on stdout. no cap, it does both. 🫶

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <nut-scan.h>

void nutscan_display_ups_conf_with_sanity_check(nutscan_device_t * device);

like, that's the whole vibe. include the header, call the function, that's it. 💖

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so nutscan_display_ups_conf_with_sanity_check() prints every NUT device living inside device out to stdout, and then — because it's a thorough queen — it follows all that up with comments about any sanity-check violations it found. 👑

and here's the iconic part: the way it formats all of this means you can literally copy it straight into your ups.conf file. no editing, no reformatting, no suffering. it's giving "I did the work so you don't have to" energy. 🔥
