UPSCLI_SSL(3)

💖 UPSCLI_SSL(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the NUT Manual page for upscli_ssl — it's giving "tiny function, big vibes", let's go 🦋

---

✨ NAME ✨

upscli_ssl — check the SSL mode on your current connection, fr fr 🔒

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <upsclient.h>

int upscli_ssl(UPSCONN_t *ups);

like, that's the whole thing. one include, one call, no cap 💅

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so upscli_ssl() takes that ups pointer you're holding, the one pointing at a UPSCONN_t state structure. and here's the tea: it only returns 1 if SSL support was actually compiled into the upsclient(3) library and it got successfully enabled for this specific connection. both things. no shortcuts. ✨

and starting with NUT v2.8.5, there's a whole new way to snoop — you can call upscli_ssl_caps(3) from your consumer code to query the library about its build circumstances, like whether it supports SSL at all, and which backend(s) it's working with. iconic behavior honestly 👑

---

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

• 1 — SSL is running, we're so back 🔥
• 0 — no SSL, it's not running
• -1 — uh oh, an error happened 😭
