NAME

       smistrip - extract MIB or PIB modules from text files, like RFCs or I-Ds

SYNOPSIS

       smistrip [ -Vhn ] [ -d dir ] [ -m module ] [ file(s) ]

DESCRIPTION

       The  smistrip  program  is  used  to  extract  MIB and PIB module files from ASCII documents like RFCs or
       Internet Drafts. Modules are identified by a starting ASN.1  DEFINITIONS  clause  and  the  matching  END
       clause. The output is written to files named by the modules' names.

OPTIONS

       -V     Show the smistrip version and exit.

       -h     Show a help text and exit.

       -n     Print only what would be extracted, but do not write any output file.

       -d dir Write module file(s) to directory dir instead of the current working directory.

       -m module
              Extract only the module module instead of all modules found in the input file(s).

       file(s)
              The  input  text  file(s) from which modules will be extracted. If no file is given, input is read
              from stdin.

       Note that smistrip tries to be smart about locating module start and end, detecting page breaks and blank
       lines  near  page  breaks.  It also tries to cut off blank prefixing columns from all lines of a modules.
       However, there might by documents that cannot be  parsed  correctly  by  smistrip  and  probably  produce
       incorrect  output.   You  might  consider  to  use  smilint  on  every extracted module file to check its
       syntactical correctness.

EXAMPLE

       This example extracts only the module IPV6-MIB from the file rfc2465  and  writes  it  to  the  directory
       /usr/local/tmp.
         $ smistrip -d /usr/local/tmp -m IPV6-MIB rfc2465
