modbus_read_registers() 				 modbus_read_registers()

Name
     modbus_read_registers - read many registers

Synopsis
     int modbus_read_registers(modbus_t *ctx, int addr, int nb, uint16_t *dest);

Description
     The modbus_read_registers() function shall read the content of the nb hold-
     ing registers to the address addr of the remote device. The result of read-
     ing is stored in dest array as word values (16 bits).

     The dest array must be allocated with at least nb * sizeof(uint16_t) bytes.
     It  is  the caller's responsibility to ensure the buffer is large enough to
     hold all the registers to be read.

     The function uses the Modbus function code 0x03 (read holding registers).

Return value
     The function shall return the number of read registers if successful.  Oth-
     erwise it shall return -1 and set errno.

Errors
     * EINVAL, the ctx or dest argument is NULL, or nb is less than 1.

     * EMBMDATA, too many registers requested (nb > MODBUS_MAX_READ_REGISTERS).

Example
     modbus_t *ctx;
     uint16_t tab_reg[64];
     int rc;
     int i;

     ctx = modbus_new_tcp("127.0.0.1", 502);
     if (modbus_connect(ctx) == -1) {
	 fprintf(stderr, "Connection failed: %s\n", modbus_strerror(errno));
	 modbus_free(ctx);
	 return -1;
     }

     rc = modbus_read_registers(ctx, 0, 10, tab_reg);
     if (rc == -1) {
	 fprintf(stderr, "%s\n", modbus_strerror(errno));
	 return -1;
     }

     for (i=0; i < rc; i++) {
	 printf("reg[%d]=%d (0x%X)\n", i, tab_reg[i], tab_reg[i]);
     }

     modbus_close(ctx);
     modbus_free(ctx);
