Hi,

I tried looking at the documentation and searching

the mailing list but could not find the answer to this

question: Is it possible to use libsmi to get the

name and description from an OID (which is defined in

a MIB that is present in the MIB search path)?

I tried this code:

SmiNode *smiNode = ::smiGetNodeByOID(oidLen, oidArr);

with oidArr = {1,3,6,1,2,1,1,3} and oidLen = 8,

but smiNode->description is NULL and ->name is "iso". I expected

name to be "sysUpTime" and description to be

"The time (in hundredths of a second) since the
network management portion of the system was last
re-initialized." (see http://www.alvestrand.no/objectid/1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.html)

The ->oid member is simply {1}. Shouldn't it be {1,3,6,1,2,1,1,3}?

Initializations is done like this:

smiInit(NULL);
char* pc = smiGetPath(); // For verification.

where pc is a list of directories where I have my MIBs.

Thanks for any suggestions you might have. I am running on

Win2k and libsmi-0.3.1. I had to modify dump-scli.c to make it

compile, since msvc 6 does not have regexp.h.

Thanks,

Henrik
