As a required I assume:
"\t(%f - %f @ %f), (%f mW)" or
"\t(%f - %f @ %f), (%f)"
Rest are optional.
This is the code for eirp:
/* Next get eirp */
strsep(&line_p, ",");
if (!line_p) {
fprintf(stderr, "not found eirp in line: %s\n", line);
return -EINVAL;
}
if (strstr(line_p, "mW")) {
hits = sscanf(line_p, " (%f mW)", &max_eirp);
if (hits != 1)
return -EINVAL;
reg_rule->power_rule.max_eirp =
REGLIB_MW_TO_MBM(max_eirp);
} else {
hits = sscanf(line_p, " (%f)", &max_eirp);
if (hits != 1)
return -EINVAL;
reg_rule->power_rule.max_eirp =
REGLIB_DBM_TO_MBM(max_eirp);
}
I see DE have mW (input and db2rd output):
db.txt input
country DE: DFS-ETSI
# entries 279004 and 280006
(2400 - 2483.5 @ 40), (100 mW)
# entry 303005, 304002 and 305002
(5150 - 5350 @ 80), (100 mW), NO-OUTDOOR
# entries 308002, 309001 and 310003
(5470 - 5725 @ 80), (500 mW), DFS
# 60 gHz band channels 1-4, ref: Etsi En 302 567
(57240 - 65880 @ 2160), (40), NO-OUTDOOR
db2rd < db.txt output
country DE: DFS-ETSI
(2400.000 - 2483.500 @ 40.000), (20.00)
(5150.000 - 5350.000 @ 80.000), (20.00), NO-OUTDOOR
(5470.000 - 5725.000 @ 80.000), (26.98), DFS
(57240.000 - 65880.000 @ 2160.000), (40.00), NO-OUTDOOR
Do you remember some cases where this couldn't work?
