1.1.1.2 ! misho       1: .TH MINIUPNPC 3
1.1       misho       2: .SH NAME
                      3: miniupnpc \- UPnP client library
                      4: .SH SYNOPSIS
                      5: .SH DESCRIPTION
                      6: The miniupnpc library implement the UPnP protocol defined
                      7: to dialog with Internet Gateway Devices. It also has
                      8: the ability to use data gathered by minissdpd(1) about
                      9: UPnP devices up on the network in order to skip the
                     10: long UPnP device discovery process.
                     11: .PP
                     12: At first, upnpDiscover(3) has to be used to discover UPnP IGD present
                     13: on the network. Then UPNP_GetValidIGD(3) to select the right one.
                     14: Alternatively, UPNP_GetIGDFromUrl(3) could be used to bypass discovery
                     15: process if the root description url of the device to use is known.
                     16: Then all the UPNP_* functions can be used, such as
                     17: UPNP_GetConnectionTypeInfo(3), UPNP_AddPortMapping(3), etc...
                     18: .SH "HEADER FILES"
                     19: .IP miniupnpc.h
                     20: That's the main header file for the miniupnpc library API.
                     21: It contains all the functions and structures related to device discovery.
                     22: .IP upnpcommands.h
                     23: This header file contain the UPnP IGD methods that are accessible
                     24: through the miniupnpc API. The name of the C functions are matching
                     25: the UPnP methods names. ie: GetGenericPortMappingEntry is
                     26: UPNP_GetGenericPortMappingEntry.

1.1.1.2 ! misho      28: .IP "struct UPNPDev * upnpDiscover(int delay, const char * multicastif, const char * minissdpdsock, int localport, int ipv6, int * error);"
1.1       misho      29: execute the discovery process.
                     30: delay (in millisecond) is the maximum time for waiting any device response.
                     31: If available, device list will be obtained from MiniSSDPd.
                     32: Default path for minissdpd socket will be used if minissdpdsock argument is NULL.
                     33: If multicastif is not NULL, it will be used instead of the default multicast interface for sending SSDP discover packets.
1.1.1.2 ! misho      34: If localport is set to UPNP_LOCAL_PORT_SAME(1) SSDP packets will be sent 
        !            35: from the source port 1900 (same as destination port), if set to 
        !            36: UPNP_LOCAL_PORT_ANY(0) system assign a source port, any other value will 
        !            37: be attempted as the source port.
1.1       misho      38: If ipv6 is not 0, IPv6 is used instead of IPv4 for the discovery process.
