As I wrote just a while ago in my reply to Peter, is it wise to define
these defaults in the API? I'm also not entirely happy with the parsing of
command line arguments in the upsclient API. I would prefer to see parsing
command line arguments in a separate module, much like parseconf.c we have
now for parsing the configuration files. Probably some other things might
be shared between clients that way too.

Best regards, Arjen
