Hi,
I'm not sure this is the right place to ask but here it goes anyway:
A customer of mine makes software for a number of UPS systems.
Currently this software is cross platform and is not integrated into
Darwin/Mac OS X at all. I was tasked to write an Mac OS X Installer
for them (to avoid the UNIX shell stuff they had on the Mac before).
So far so good.
I have recently become aware of the fact, that Darwin/Mac OS X seems
to have built-in support for UPS systems. But I couldn't find much
information on how to actually integrate a UPS with the OS. The
hardware usually comes with either USB or serial interfaces. The
later would generally be converted using a USB<->Serial adaptor.
For example "man pmset" mentions UPS settings.
I have found the reference documentation for IOUPSPlugInInterface and
IOUPSPlugIn.h. But this seems rather sparse.
I'd be greatful for any pointers on where to look for more information.
Note: I have not done any KEXT or IOKit programming yet.
Thanks.
Mike
