libsmi(3) SMI Management Information Library libsmi(3)NAMElibsmi - library to access SMI management information
DESCRIPTION
This library contains functions that allow access to SMI management
information stored in repositories that are managed by libsmi, cur‐
rently directories containing SMIv1/v2 and SMIng MIB module files.
The libsmi API is defined in smi.h. Functions are documented in
smi_config(3), smi_module(3), smi_node(3), smi_type(3), and
smi_macro(3).
The purpose of libsmi is to separate the weird parsing and handling of
MIB modules from management applications. MIB modules conforming to
SMIv1, SMIv2 and SMIng - a new language for management information,
developed at the Technical University of Braunschweig, Germany - can be
handled by libsmi.
NOTE: SMIng support in the current release of libsmi is neither stable
nor representing the work done in the IETF SMING working group. It is
based research efforts at TU Braunschweig and within the IRTF in
1999-2000.
EXAMPLE
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <smi.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
SmiNode *smiNode;
int oidlen, first = 1;
if (argc != 2) {
fprintf(stderr, "Usage: smisubtree oid\n");
exit(1);
}
smiInit(NULL);
for((smiNode = smiGetNode(NULL, argv[1])) &&
(oidlen = smiNode->oidlen);
smiNode && (first || smiNode->oidlen > oidlen);
smiNode = smiGetNextNode(smiNode, SMI_NODEKIND_ANY),
first = 0) {
printf("%*s%-32s\n",
(smiNode->oidlen - oidlen + 1) * 2, " ",
smiNode->name);
};
exit(0);
}

RFCs 2578-2580 specify the SMIv2 standard [STD 58]. The (obsolete)
SMIng specification has been a working document of the IRTF Network
Management Working Group (NMRG) (draft-irtf-nmrg-sming-02).
