Ipercube.NUT.Ups.Query

This package provides the external command-line tool upsc.exe and all required native libraries used to query UPS devices via Network UPS Tools (NUT).

The executable upsc is included as-is from the NUT project and is fully portable. It does not depend on any specific .NET Framework or .NET runtime.

📦 Purpose

This package is designed to simplify UPS status queries from .NET applications by automatically deploying the following files into the output directory:

  • upsc.exe
  • libusbclient-7.dll
  • libwinpthread-1.dll
  • libystre-0.dll
  • libtre-5.dll

Your application can then execute upsc.exe using standard .NET Process APIs.

🛠 Usage

Once the package is referenced, the upsc tool is automatically copied to:

bin\Debug\netX.Y\upsc.exe

Example usage in VB.NET:

Imports System.Diagnostics

Public Class NutUpsQuery

    Public Function Query(queryString As String) As String
	
        ' queryString examples:
		' return the battery.charge value: "ups@localhost battery.charge"
		' return all availble values: "ups@localhost"

        Dim psi As New ProcessStartInfo()
        psi.FileName = "upsc.exe"
        psi.Arguments = queryString
        psi.RedirectStandardOutput = True
        psi.UseShellExecute = False
        psi.CreateNoWindow = True

        Using p As Process = Process.Start(psi)
            Dim output As String = p.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd()
            p.WaitForExit()
            Return output
        End Using

    End Function

End Class

📁 Included Files

All files are installed under a private nut folder inside the project and copied to the output folder at build time:

tools/nut/upsc.exe
tools/nut/libusbclient-7.dll
tools/nut/libwinpthread-1.dll
tools/nut/libystre-0.dll
tools/nut/libtre-5.dll

🧩 Compatible With

  • Any .NET Framework version
  • Any .NET Core / .NET runtime version
  • WinForms, WPF, Service apps, Console apps

The package contains native tools only, with no dependencies on .NET assemblies.
