SYNOPSIS

       #include <upsclient.h>

       int upscli_fd(UPSCONN *ups);

DESCRIPTION

       The  upscli_fd()  function  takes  the  pointer  ups to a UPSCONN state
       structure and returns the value of the file descriptor for that connec-
       tion, if any.

       This  may  be  useful  for determining if the connection to upsd(8) has
       been lost.

RETURN VALUE

       The upscli_fd() function returns the file descriptor, which may be  any
       non-negative number.  It returns -1 if an error occurs.
