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.
