SYNOPSIS

        #include <upsclient.h>
        int upscli_splitaddr(const char *buf, char **hostname,
                int *port)

DESCRIPTION

The upscli_splitaddr() function takes a pointer to the listening address definition buf and returns the pointer to dynamically allocated memory in hostname. It also copies the port number into port.

A listening address definition is specified according to this format:

<hostname>[:<port>]

Definitions without an explicit port value receive the default value of 3493.

MEMORY USAGE

You must free(3) the pointer hostname when you are done with it to avoid memory leaks.
