Module props 

Properties by name, and their values in a form a person can read and type.

One vocabulary for the whole tool: get, set, and the manage forms of both take the same spellings and render values the same way. The names and types come from umsh_ulcp::describe, so this file holds no second copy of the table it reads.

Structs

PropArg

A property named by its mnemonic or its number.

Functions

encode_value

Turn what somebody typed into the octets a property takes.

format_value

A property’s value as something worth reading.

get

Read properties, named or numbered.

letter 🔒

malformed 🔒

nearest 🔒

The name that shares the longest run of leading characters with what was typed, when that run is long enough to be a typo rather than a coincidence.

number 🔒

report 🔒

resolve 🔒

The identifier a mnemonic names, however it was written.

same_name 🔒

Whether written names the property name spells, ignoring case and the difference between a dash and an underscore, with the PROP_ prefix optional.

scalar 🔒

A number with the unit the property carries, where it has one worth saying. The bare number stays visible: it is what a set takes back.

set

Write one property, reporting what the device stored.

spell

How this tool writes a property’s name on a command line.
