14 This program looks like a standard UPS driver to upsd(8) and allows you
15 to set any value for testing purposes. It is interactive, through
16 upsrw command or equivalent graphical tool. It can be configured,
17 launch and used as any other real driver.

21 The port specify a definition file name for dummy-ups, located in NUT
22 "etc" directory (ie /etc/nut, /usr/local/ups/etc, ...). This file,
23 generally named something.dev, contains a list of all valid data and
24 associated values, and has the same format as an upsc dump (<varname>:
25 <value>), so you can easilly create definition files from existing UPS.
26
27 With no arguments, dummy-ups will assume a port name of "null", and
28 will preload the following data:
29
30 driver.name = dummy-ups
31 driver.version = (varies)
32 driver.version.internal = (varies)
33 ups.mfr = Dummy Manufacturer
34 ups.model = Dummy UPS
35 ups.status = OL
36
37 You can also add an entry in ups.conf(5), and run multiple instances if
38 needed.

42 Once the driver is loaded, you can set any variables, except those of
43 the driver.* and server.* collections.

47 This driver was written in an evening to replace the previous dummycons
48 which required to work from a terminal to interact.
49
50 It is useful for NUT client development, and other testing purpose.

54 Instant commands are not yet supported, and data need value checking
55 enforcement, as well as boundaries or enumeration definition.
