.SH "NAME"
upscli_splitaddr \- Split a listening address into its components
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.sp
.nf
        #include <upsclient\&.h>

        int upscli_splitaddr(const char *buf, char **hostname,
                int *port)
.fi
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
The \fBupscli_splitaddr()\fR function takes a pointer to the listening address definition \fIbuf\fR and returns the pointer to dynamically allocated memory in \fIhostname\fR\&. It also copies the port number into \fIport\fR\&.
.SH "FORMATTING"
.sp
A listening address definition is specified according to this format:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
<hostname>[:<port>]
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
Definitions without an explicit port value receive the default value of \fI3493\fR\&.
.SH "MEMORY USAGE"
.sp
You must \fBfree\fR(3) the pointer \fIhostname\fR when you are done with it to avoid memory leaks\&.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.sp
The \fBupscli_splitaddr()\fR function returns \fI0\fR on success, or \fI\-1\fR if an error occurs\&.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
