NAME¶

libipmidetect - a library of functions to determine if a node is detected or undetected

SYNOPSIS¶

#include <ipmidetect.h>

ipmidetect_t ipmidetect_handle_create(void);

int ipmidetect_handle_destroy(ipmidetect_t handle);

int ipmidetect_load_data(ipmidetect_t handle, const char *hostname, int port, int timeout_len);

int ipmidetect_errnum(ipmidetect_t handle);

char *ipmidetect_strerror(int errnum);

char *ipmidetect_errormsg(int errnum);

void ipmidetect_perror(ipmidetect_t handle, const char *msg);

int ipmidetect_get_detected_nodes_string(ipmidetect_t handle, char *buf, int buflen);

int ipmidetect_get_undetected_nodes_string(ipmidetect_t handle, char *buf, int buflen);

int ipmidetect_is_node_detected(ipmidetect_t handle, const char *node);

int ipmidetect_is_node_undetected(ipmidetect_t handle, const char *node);

DESCRIPTION¶

Libipmidetect implements a high level API for determing which nodes in a cluster do or do-not support IPMI. This library is primarily useful for detecting whe nodes are removed from a cluster for servicing, so that IPMI applications can avoid unnecessary timeouts. The library interacts with the ipmidetectd(8) daemon.
