! 3: .SH NAME
! 4: miniupnpc \- UPnP client library
! 5: .SH SYNOPSIS
! 6: .SH DESCRIPTION
! 7: The miniupnpc library implement the UPnP protocol defined
! 8: to dialog with Internet Gateway Devices. It also has
! 9: the ability to use data gathered by minissdpd(1) about
! 10: UPnP devices up on the network in order to skip the
! 11: long UPnP device discovery process.
! 12: .PP
! 13: At first, upnpDiscover(3) has to be used to discover UPnP IGD present
! 14: on the network. Then UPNP_GetValidIGD(3) to select the right one.
! 15: Alternatively, UPNP_GetIGDFromUrl(3) could be used to bypass discovery
! 16: process if the root description url of the device to use is known.
! 17: Then all the UPNP_* functions can be used, such as
! 18: UPNP_GetConnectionTypeInfo(3), UPNP_AddPortMapping(3), etc...
! 19: .SH "HEADER FILES"
! 20: .IP miniupnpc.h
! 21: That's the main header file for the miniupnpc library API.
! 22: It contains all the functions and structures related to device discovery.
! 23: .IP upnpcommands.h
! 24: This header file contain the UPnP IGD methods that are accessible
! 25: through the miniupnpc API. The name of the C functions are matching
! 26: the UPnP methods names. ie: GetGenericPortMappingEntry is
! 27: UPNP_GetGenericPortMappingEntry.
! 28: .SH "API FUNCTIONS"
! 29: .IP "struct UPNPDev * upnpDiscover(int delay, const char * multicastif, const char * minissdpdsock, int sameport, int ipv6, int * error);"
! 30: execute the discovery process.
! 31: delay (in millisecond) is the maximum time for waiting any device response.
! 32: If available, device list will be obtained from MiniSSDPd.
! 33: Default path for minissdpd socket will be used if minissdpdsock argument is NULL.
! 34: If multicastif is not NULL, it will be used instead of the default multicast interface for sending SSDP discover packets.
! 35: If sameport is not null, SSDP packets will be sent from the source port 1900 (same as destination port) otherwise system assign a source port.
! 36: If ipv6 is not 0, IPv6 is used instead of IPv4 for the discovery process.
! 37: .IP "void freeUPNPDevlist(struct UPNPDev * devlist);"
! 38: free the list returned by upnpDiscover().
! 39: .IP "int UPNP_GetValidIGD(struct UPNPDev * devlist, struct UPNPUrls * urls, struct IGDdatas * data, char * lanaddr, int lanaddrlen);"
! 40: browse the list of device returned by upnpDiscover(), find
! 41: a live UPnP internet gateway device and fill structures passed as arguments
! 42: with data used for UPNP methods invokation.
! 43: .IP "int UPNP_GetIGDFromUrl(const char * rootdescurl, struct UPNPUrls * urls, struct IGDdatas * data, char * lanaddr, int lanaddrlen);"
! 44: permit to bypass the upnpDiscover() call if the xml root description
! 45: URL of the UPnP IGD is known.
! 46: Fill structures passed as arguments
! 47: with data used for UPNP methods invokation.
! 48: .IP "void GetUPNPUrls(struct UPNPUrls *, struct IGDdatas *, const char *);"
! 49: .IP "void FreeUPNPUrls(struct UPNPUrls *);"
