+=head1 NAME
+
+dbfp_query_departure - get a list of departures at a given station from the
+DB timetable API
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ #include <dbfp.h>
+
+ int dbfp_query_departure(struct dbfp *dbfp, char *location_id, time_t time,
+ size_t *n, struct dbfp_departure **departures);
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+B<dbfp_query_departure> queries a list of departures at a the station with the
+given I<location_id> at the given I<time> using the connection metadata stored
+in I<dbfp>. The number of results is stored in I<n>. The results are stored
+in I<departures>. The memory for the I<departures> is allocated by the
+function. The stored array contains exactly I<n> elements, and is not NULL
+terminated.
+
+Possible values for I<location_id> can be retrieved using
+I<dbfp_query_location>. If I<time> is zero, the current time is used.
+I<dbfp>, I<location_id>, I<n> and I<departures> must not be NULL. I<dbfp> must
+have been initialized with I<dbfp_init>. The elements in I<departures> should
+be closed with I<dbfp_departure_close>. I<departures> should be freed by the
+caller.
+
+If the query fails, the values of I<n> and I<departures> are set to 0 and NULL
+respectively.
+
+The B<dbfp_departure> structure is defined as:
+
+ struct dbfp_departure {
+ char *name;
+ char *type;
+ char *stopid;
+ char *stop;
+ time_t time;
+ char *direction;
+ char *track;
+ };
+
+I<name> is the name of the departing train, I<type> is the type of the train.
+I<stopid> is the ID of the stop the train departs from, and I<stop> is its
+name. I<time> is the departure time, I<direction> the direction of the train,
+and I<track> the departure track.
+
+=head1 RETURN VALUE
+
+B<dbfp_query_departure> returns zero if successful, or a non-zero error code.
+Positive error codes are from I<errno.h>, negative error codes are specific
+to dbfp.
+
+=head1 ERRORS
+
+=over
+
+=item EINVAL
+
+if I<dbfp>, I<location_id>, I<n> or I<departures> is NULL
+
+=item ENOMEM
+
+if there is not enough memory to store the results of the query
+
+=item DBFP_ERROR_CURL
+
+if an error occured during the preparation or execution of the network request
+
+=item DBFP_ERROR_FORMAT
+
+if an error occurs during the formatting of the URL
+
+=item DBFP_ERROR_PARSE
+
+if an error occurs during the parsing of the XML response
+
+=item DBFP_ERROR_STRUCTURE
+
+if the API response has not the expected structure
+
+=back
+
+=head1 BUGS
+
+Due to a typo in the DB timetable API, the I<type> field of one or more of the
+I<departures> elements might be NULL.
+
+The time zone handling has to be checked and documented.
