libsmi anonymous CVS repository
by Frank Strauss 26 Nov '01

26 Nov '01

Hi! I just want to point out the libsmi anonymous CVS repository, which is updated every night to contain the most recent bug fixes and enhancements (and sometimes the latest invented bugs). In fact, today C.M. Heard helped us to fix two bugs in the 0.3.0 release (an off-by-one error in the check for exceeding OID lengths of tabled indexing constructs, and the check for InetAddressType/InetAddress groupings when these types are implicitly sub-typed). These bugs are already fixed in the anonymous CVS repository and they will be fixed in the next libsmi release. But new releases will not be made after each and every bug fix. So, people who want to use the most recent stuff, should consider using CVS. -frank -- !! This message is brought to you via the `libsmi' mailing list. !!

libsmi-0.3 announcement
by Frank Strauss 26 Nov '01

26 Nov '01

The following message is a courtesy copy of an article that has been posted to comp.protocols.snmp,comp.dcom.net-management as well. Libsmi 0.3 is available for download. Copyright (c) 1999-2001 Frank Strauss, Technical University of Braunschweig. Libsmi is a C library that allows network management applications and MIB authoring tools to access SMI MIB module information through a well defined API that hides the nasty details of locating and parsing SMIv1/v2 MIB modules. Libsmi supports exact and iterative retrieval functions for all major SMIv1 and SMIv2 constructs. There are four tools on top of the library and a sh/awk-script: - Smiquery allows simple queries for single MIB module items. Smilint allows to increase the verbosity of the parser(s), so that MIB module files can be checked for syntax and semantic errors. - Smidump can be used to dump MIB modules in various formats. The current output backends allow to dump trees of OIDs, type definitions and recursive imports, to convert modules between SMIv1 and SMIv2, to produce JIDM compliant CORBA-IDL files, UCD-SNMP code stubs, MOSY style output, JAX Java AgentX sub-agent templates, XML and XML-Schema MIB representations, Perl and Python representations, graphical conceptual MIB models, and SCLI code stubs. - Smidiff allows MIB authors, MIB reviewers and implementors to compare two revisions of the same MIB for legal and illegal changes. - Finally, smistrip allows to strip SMIv1/v2 modules from documents like RFCs and Internet-Drafts. Enclosed with the libsmi package, there are all (bug fixed) current IETF standard MIB modules as of 2001-11-23, as well as some other modules, man pages for all library functions and tools, and a small libsmi test suite. The software comes with automake/autoconf and libtool support. Hence it should compile and build with or without shared libraries on most UNIX style platforms, as well as on W32/cygwin, though it's just developed on Sun Solaris 2.5.x and Linux. However, questions about all platforms can be discussed on the libsmi mailinglist. For those familiar with recent libsmi development: The most significant change since the previous 0.2.x releases is the addition of the smidiff tool for MIB revision comparison. It has been developed during the past three months primarily by Torsten Klie. Online information on libsmi together with download and CVS access information, the (free) license terms, manual pages, and the mailing list is available at: http://www.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de/projects/libsmi/ Enjoy!

smidump - f netsnmp problem
by Var P 02 Nov '01

02 Nov '01

hi, I am using libsmi-0.2.17 version. When I use "smidump" to generate netsnmp code (smidump -f netsnmp), for the write_method routine (ex: write_ustSSSimpleString_stub), it is generating empty function definition. Is it always like that (I mean, shall I have write the code for switch(), case: RESERVE1, RESERVE2 etc...) or it is supposed to generate the function definition. Thanks, __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Find a job, post your resume. http://careers.yahoo.com -- !! This message is brought to you via the `libsmi' mailing list. !!
