NAME
       upsc - example lightweight UPS client

SYNOPSIS
       upsc ups [variable]

DESCRIPTION
       upsc  is	 provided  as a quick way to poll the status of a
       UPS server.  It can be used inside shell scripts and other
       programs	 that need UPS data but don't want to include the
       full interface.

OPTIONS
       ups    Display the status of that  UPS.	 The  format  for
	      this option is [upsname@]hostname[:port].

	      For  example,  "myups@mybox:1234"	 would poll a UPS
	      called "myups"  on  a  host  called  "mybox",  with
	      upsd(8) running on port 1234.

	      Using an argument like "anotherbox" polls the first
	      configured UPS on the  host  "anotherbox",  on  the
	      default  port  that was compiled into the software,
	      typically 3493.

       variable
	      Display  the  value  of  this  variable  only.   By
	      default,	upsc retrieves the list of variables from
	      the server and then displays the	value  for  each.
	      This  may	 be  useful  in	 shell scripts to save an
	      additional pipe into grep.

DIAGNOSTICS
       upsc will either print a list of all  supported	variables
       and  their  values on the UPS or an error message.  If you
       receive an error, make sure you have specified a valid UPS
       on the command line, that upsd(8) is really running on the
       other host and that no firewalls are blocking you.

HISTORY
       Earlier versions of this program used the upsfetch library
       and  UDP	 sockets  to  talk to upsd.  This version of upsc
       uses the new upsclient  library,	 which	only  talks  TCP.
       This is why upsct no longer exists.
