MODULE SUMMARY

Interface Functions to the SNMP toolkit MIB compiler

DESCRIPTION

The module snmpc contains interface functions to the SNMP toolkit MIB compiler.

EXPORTS

compile(File)
compile(File, Options) -> {ok, BinFileName} | {error, Reason}

Types:

File = string()
Options = [opt()]
opt() = db() | deprecated() | description() | group_check() | i() | il() | imports() | module() | module_identity() | outdir() | no_defs() | verbosity() | warnings()
db() = {db, volatile|persistent|mnesia}
deprecated() = {deprecated, bool()}
description() = description
group_check() = {group_check, bool()}
i() = {i, [dir()]}
il() = {il, [dir()]}
imports() = imports
module() = {module, atom()}
module_identity() = module_identity
no_defs() = no_defs
outdir() = {outdir, dir()}
verbosity() = {verbosity, silence|warning|info|log|debug|trace}
warnings() = {warnings, bool()}
dir() = string()
BinFileName = string()

Compiles the specified MIB file <File>.mib. The compiled file BinFileName is called <File>.bin.

The MIB compiler understands both SMIv1 and SMIv2 MIBs. It uses the MODULE-IDENTITY statement to determine if the MIB is version 1 or 2.

The MIB compiler can be invoked from the OS command line by using the command erlc. erlc recognises the extension .mib, and invokes the SNMP MIB compiler for files with that extension. The options db, group_check, deprecated, description, verbosity, imports and module_identity have to be specified to erlc using the syntax +term. See erlc(1) for details.

is_consistent(Mibs) -> ok | {error, Reason}

Types:

Mibs = [MibName]
MibName = string()

Checks for multiple usage of object identifiers and traps between MIBs.

mib_to_hrl(MibName) -> ok | {error, Reason}

Types:

MibName = string()

Generates a .hrl file with definitions of Erlang constants for the objects in the MIB. The .hrl file is called <MibName>.hrl. The MIB must be compiled, and present in the current directory.

The mib_to_hrl generator can be invoked from the OS command line by using the command erlc. erlc recognises the extension .bin, and invokes this function for files with that extension.
