NAME

       libsmi - 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, currently 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);
       }
