.SH "NAME"
libgpsmm, libQgpsmm \- C++ and QT class wrapper for the GPS daemon
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.sp
.ft B
.nf

C++:

#include <libgpsmm>

.fi
.ft
.HP \w'struct\ gps_data_t\ *open('u
.BI "struct gps_data_t *open(char\ *" "host" ", char\ *" "port" ");"

.BI "struct gps_data_t *open(void);"
.HP \w'struct\ gps_data_t\ *send('u

.BI "struct gps_data_t *stream(unsigned\ int" "flags" ");"
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBlibgpsmm and libQgpsmm\fR
are mere wrappers over
\fBlibgps\fR\&. The important difference between the libraries is that libgpsmm is targeted at C++ applications and contained in
\fBlibgps\fR, while libQgpsmm is platform independent by using QTcpSocket to connect to
\fBgpsd\fR
and shipped as an additional library due to the necessary linking to QT\&. Method names are the same as the analogue C functions\&. For a detailed description of the functions please read
\fBlibgps\fR(3)\&.
\fBopen()\fR
must be called after class constructor and before any other method (\fBopen()\fR
is not inside the constructor since it may fail, however constructors have no return value)\&. The analogue of the C function
\fBgps_close()\fR
is in the destructor\&.
