Settings structure for BrlAPI connection. More...

| Data Fields | |
| const char * | auth | 
| const char * | host | 
This structure holds every parameter needed to connect to BrlAPI: which file the authorization key can be found in and which computer to connect to.
libbrlapi will read authorization key from file /etc/brlapi.key and connect to the machine called "foo", on the default TCP port.
lets directly enter an IP address instead of a machine name.
lets libbrlapi connect to the local computer, on port BRLAPI_SOCKETPORTNUM+1
| const char* brlapi_connectionSettings_t::auth | 
For security reasons, libbrlapi has to get authorized to connect to the BrlAPI server. This can be done via a secret key, for instance. This is the path to the file which holds it; it will hence have to be readable by the application.
Setting NULL defaults it to local installation setup or to the content of the BRLAPI_AUTH environment variable, if it exists. 
| const char* brlapi_connectionSettings_t::host | 
This tells where the BrlAPI server resides: it might be listening on another computer, on any TCP port. It should look like "foo:1", which means TCP port number BRLAPI_SOCKETPORTNUM+1 on computer called "foo".
Settings NULL defaults it to localhost, using the local installation's default TCP port, or to the content of the BRLAPI_HOST environment variable, if it exists.
