Clients should split on space. I remember we had a better description of this from the protocol perspective, but that description does not seem to be in the current documentation (which has a description aimed at driver developers).

This is the code that builds ups.status for the drivers:

as suggested in the developer guide:

As Roger indicated, upsmon is the canonical example for parsing ups.status.
