NAME

The Net-SNMP library -  

Data Structures


struct snmp_internal_session

struct session_list
 

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 273 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

Definition at line 6680 of file snmp_api.c.  

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.

Definition at line 6761 of file snmp_api.c.  

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.

Definition at line 6817 of file snmp_api.c.  

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 6797 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

Definition at line 6631 of file snmp_api.c.  

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)

Returns:

0 if they are equal, 1 if in_name1 is > in_name2, or -1 if <.

Definition at line 6733 of file snmp_api.c.  

netsnmp_variable_list* snmp_pdu_add_variable (netsnmp_pdu * pdu, const oid * name, size_t name_length, u_char type, const void * value, size_t len)

Library API routines concerned with variable bindings and values.

Definition at line 6885 of file snmp_api.c.  

void snmp_sess_init (netsnmp_session * session)

Library API routines concerned with specifying and using SNMP 'sessions' including sending and receiving requests.

Definition at line 715 of file snmp_api.c.  

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

Definition at line 859 of file snmp_api.c.  

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

Definition at line 1371 of file snmp_api.c.  

int snmpv3_probe_contextEngineID_rfc5343 (void * slp, netsnmp_session * session)

probe for engineID using RFC 5343 probing mechanisms Designed to be a callback for within a security model's probe_engineid hook. Since it's likely multiple security models won't have engineIDs to probe for then this function is a callback likely to be used by multiple future security models. E.G. both SSH and DTLS.
