NAME

       smixlate - translate SMI/SPPI identifiers

SYNOPSIS

       smixlate [ -Vhm ] [ -c file ] [ -p module ] [ -l level ] module(s)

DESCRIPTION

       The  smixlate  program  is  used  to translate identifiers and especially OIDs into a more
       human readable format.

OPTIONS

       -V, --version
              Show the smixlate version and exit.

       -h, --help
              Show a help text and exit.

       -r, --recursive
              Report errors and warnings also for recursively imported modules.

       -c file, --config=file
              Read file instead of any other (global and user) configuration file.

       -p module, --preload=module
              Preload the module module before reading the main module(s). This may be helpful if
              an incomplete main module misses to import some definitions.

       -l level, --level=level
              Report  errors  and  warnings  up  to  the given severity level. See the smilint(1)
              manual page for a description of the error levels. The default error level is 3.

       -a, --all
              Replace all OIDs including OID prefixes. Without this option,  smixlate  will  only
              translate  OIDs  with  a  corresponding notification, scalar, column, row, or table
              definition.

       -f, --format
              Preserve the input format as much as possible  by  inserting/removing  white  space
              characters.

       module(s)
              These  are  the  modules  to  be loaded for the subsequent translation. If a module
              argument represents a path name (identified by containing at least one dot or slash
              character), this is assumed to be the exact file to read. Otherwise, if a module is
              identified by its plain module name, it is searched according  to  libsmi  internal
              rules. See smi_config(3) for more details.

EXAMPLE

       This example translates numeric OIDs in the input text into a more human readable format.

         $ echo "what is this oid? 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.3" |
           ./smixlate -l 0 /usr/local/share/mibs/ietf/*
         what is this oid? ifType
         $
