NAME
       snmptrapfmthdlr - Trap handler for receiving SNMP Traps


SYNOPSIS
       snmptrapfmthdlr


DESCRIPTION
       Snmptrapfmthdlr  is  an  application  that receives SNMP traps from snmptrapd as a trap handler. The trap
       data is then forwarded to a local pipe from which a formatting application picks it up and  does  further
       processing.  The formatting application is snmptrapfmt.


FILES
       /etc/snmp/snmptrapd.conf  is the configuration file of the snmptrapd daemon, which calls the trap handler
       snmptrapfmthdlr.

       /usr/sbin/snmptrapfmt is the executable of the formatting application.

       /usr/sbin/snmptrapfmthdlr is the executable of the trap handler.

       /var/run/snmptrapfmt.p is the communication  pipe  between  the  trap  handler  snmptrapfmthdlr  and  the
       formatter snmptrapfmt.

       /var/tmp/snmptrapfmt.trc is the error file of the application.
