Since version 1.005 libhomeradar comes with a small administration interface which is disabled by default. If the control interface is enabled, you can use a normal telnet session to connect to the application which currently uses libhomeradar and get some informations. /* System includes */ #include <stdio.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <string.h> /* libhomeradar header include */ #include "libhomeradar.h" /* Callback function to show aircraft informations */ void newcontact(void *handle,const int *id, LHR_CONTACT *C) { LHR_AIRPORTS *P; printf("%sContact: %s [%s]\nAirline: %s\nFlightnumber: %s Callsign: %s\nSquawk: %d\n", (C->newcontact)?"AIR":"", C->icao24,(C->reg)?C->reg:"UNKNOWN", (C->airline)?C->airline:"NULL",C->flightnum,C->callsign,C->squawk); printf("Aircraft: %s %s [%s] cn:%s\n",C->manufacturer,C->model,C->details,C->cn); printf("Routing: %s LAT: %0.5f LON: %0.5f\n",C->route,C->lat,C->lon); /* Get airport informations */ P = C->airports; while (P) { if (P->airport) { printf("Airport [%s / %s] Name: %s, %s\n", P->airport->iata,P->airport->icao, P->airport->name,P->airport->country); } else printf("Unresolveable: %s\n",P->apcode); P = P->next; } /* Free LHR_CONTACT struct */ homeradar_freecontact(C); } /* Connect is established */ void connected(LHR handle, const int *item) { printf("SUCCESSFULLY CONNECTED TO = %s\n",homeradar_gethostbyid(handle,*(item))); /* Setup the event listener for the LHR_ONCONTACT event */ if (homeradar_onhandler(handle, LHR_ONCONTACT, *(item), newcontact)==0) { printf("Unable to add event listener\n"); } else printf("Contact handler successfully installed\n"); } /* Main program */ int main(int argc, char **argv) { int e; LHR H = homeradar_init(16,LHR_AUTOCONNECT,&e,NULL); /* No error */ if (H == NULL) { printf("Error initializing libhomeradar.
