netsnmp_library(3) - Linux man page

Name

The Net-SNMP library -

Modules

asn1 parsing and datatype manipulation routines.: Note on.
A generic callback mechanism
generic linked-list data handling with a string as a key.
storage space for defaults: The purpose of the default storage is three-fold:.
mib parsing and datatype manipulation routines.
Store and retrieve data referenced by an OID.: This is essentially a way of storing data associated with a given OID.
parsing various configuration files at run time: The read_config related functions are a fairly extensible system of parsing various configuration files at the run time.
generic library based alarm timers for various parts of an application
various PDU processing routines
generic logging for net-snmp
Memory Utility Routines

int init_agent (const char * app)

Initialize the agent.
Calls into init_agent_read_config to set tha app's configuration file in the appropriate default storage space, NETSNMP_DS_LIB_APPTYPE. Need to call init_agent before calling init_snmp.
Parameters:: app the configuration file to be read in, gets stored in default storage
Returns:: Returns non-zero on failure and zero on success.
See also:: init_snmp
Definition at line 270 of file snmp_vars.c.

void init_snmp (const char * type)

Calls the functions to do config file loading and mib module parsing in the correct order.
Parameters:: type label for the config file 'type'
Returns:: void
See also:: init_agent
Definition at line 793 of file snmp_api.c.

int netsnmp_oid_compare_ll (const oid * in_name1, size_t len1, const oid * in_name2, size_t len2, size_t * offpt)

lexicographical compare two object identifiers and return the point where they differ
Caution: this method is called often by command responder applications (ie, agent).
Returns:: -1 if name1 < name2, 0 if name1 = name2, 1 if name1 > name2 and offpt = len where name1 != name2

int netsnmp_oid_equals (const oid * in_name1, size_t len1, const oid * in_name2, size_t len2)

Compares 2 OIDs to determine if they are exactly equal.
This should be faster than doing a snmp_oid_compare for different length OIDs, since the length is checked first and if != returns immediately. Might be very slighly faster if lengths are ==.
Parameters:: in_name1 A pointer to the first oid.
len1 length of the first OID (in segments, not bytes)
in_name2 A pointer to the second oid.
len2 length of the second OID (in segments, not bytes)
Returns:: 0 if they are equal, 1 if they are not.

int netsnmp_oid_find_prefix (const oid * in_name1, size_t len1, const oid * in_name2, size_t len2)

Given two OIDs, determine the common prefix to them both.
Parameters:: in_name1 A pointer to the first oid.
len1 Length of the first oid.
in_name2 A pointer to the second oid.
len2 Length of the second oid.
Returns:: length of largest common index of commonality. 1 = first, 0 if none * or -1 on error.

int netsnmp_oid_is_subtree (const oid * in_name1, size_t len1, const oid * in_name2, size_t len2)

Identical to netsnmp_oid_equals, except only the length up to len1 is compared.
Functionally, this determines if in_name2 is equal or a subtree of in_name1
Parameters:: in_name1 A pointer to the first oid.
len1 length of the first OID (in segments, not bytes)
in_name2 A pointer to the second oid.
len2 length of the second OID (in segments, not bytes)
Returns:: 0 if one is a common prefix of the other.
Definition at line 6455 of file snmp_api.c.

int snmp_oid_compare (const oid * in_name1, size_t len1, const oid * in_name2, size_t len2)

lexicographical compare two object identifiers.
Caution: this method is called often by command responder applications (ie, agent).
Returns:: -1 if name1 < name2, 0 if name1 = name2, 1 if name1 > name2

int snmp_oidtree_compare (const oid * in_name1, size_t len1, const oid * in_name2, size_t len2)

Compares 2 OIDs to determine if they are equal up until the shortest length.
Parameters:: in_name1 A pointer to the first oid.
len1 length of the first OID (in segments, not bytes)
in_name2 A pointer to the second oid.
len2 length of the second OID (in segments, not bytes)

void snmp_shutdown (const char * type)

Shuts down the application, saving any needed persistent storage, and appropriate clean up.
Parameters:: type Label for the config file 'type' used
Returns:: void

int snmpv3_engineID_probe (struct session_list * slp, netsnmp_session * in_session)

probe for peer engineID
Parameters:

slp session list pointer.
in_session session for errors

Note:

• called by _sess_open(), snmp_sess_add_ex()

• in_session is the user supplied session provided to those functions.

• the first session in slp should the internal allocated copy of in_session

Returns:

0 : error

1 : ok
