Function: matchModelName()

function matchModelName(reported: string, registries: readonly DeviceEntry[]): DeviceEntry | undefined;

Match a model string a device reports about itself — SNMP hrDeviceDescr / sysDescr, IEEE-1284 MDL:, mDNS TXT usb_MDL, IPP printer-device-id — against the registries' modelNames (default [name]).

Case-folded, whitespace-collapsed, whole-token: a candidate matches when its tokens appear contiguously in the reported tokens, so a vendor word in front (Brother QL-820NWB) is ignored and QL-800 never matches a QL-8000. The longest matching candidate wins; ties go to registry order.

Parameters

DeviceEntry | undefined
