# Protocol spec
This is a brief overview of the protocol specifications that the weather
station uses to send and receive data between the weather station and qt
client. This protocol is text-based, and used over a TCP connection. This
document will only go into detail about the data sent over this connection, not
requirements about the connection itself.
The protocol is only used in a request-response fashion, so all commands are
assumed to be sent by the qt client, and responded to by the weather station.
Functions for generating commands and parsing incoming data are provided by the
protocol.c and protocol.h files. See [code
implementation](#code-implementation) section for more details about naming
conventions.
- LF for newline instead of CRLF
- Commands are single-line
- Spaces used for separating command arguments
- Commands with malformed data are discarded and return error
- Response consist of `ok` or `error`, a comma, and the byte length of the
remaining response (if any)
- Numbers are sent as hexadecimal
## Commands
### `last-records <n>`
Returns the last `n` records in csv format. The first line has the csv table
header, with the fields `id`, `temperature`, `humidity`, and
`atmospheric_pressure`. The rest of the response consists of 1 record per line.
When `n` is 0, or no records exist yet, the csv header is still returned, but
without any records.
## Example transaction
In the following example, newlines are indicated by `<0a>`, request by lines
starting with `<`, and response by lines starting with `>`.
```
< last-records 5<0a>
> ok,115<0a>
> id,temperature,humidity,atmospheric_pressure<0a>
> 10dc,2f,c5,7f<0a>
> 10dd,30,c6,7f<0a>
> 10de,31,c7,7f<0a>
> 10df,35,ca,7e<0a>
> 10e0,34,c9,7e<0a>
```
