SYNOPSIS

       #include <upsclient.h>

       int upscli_upserror(UPSCONN *ups);

DESCRIPTION

       The upscli_upserror() function takes the pointer ups to a UPSCONN state
       structure and returns the value of the internal error number, if any.

       This  is  typically  used  to  check  for  certain  error  values  like
       UPSCLI_ERR_UNKCOMMAND.   That  specific error can be used for detecting
       older versions of upsd(8) which might not support a given command.

       Some error  messages  have  additional  meanings,  so  you  should  use
       upscli_strerror(3) to obtain readable error messages.

RETURN VALUE

       The  upscli_upserror()  function returns one of the UPSCLI_ERR_* values
       from upsclient.h, or 0 if no error has occurred.
