Hi!
Sounds like libsmi is just the right thing you need. I suggest to look at the dump-stools.c or dump-netsnmp.c output drivers of the smidump utility as a starting point. If you know how the C routines should look like, than it is just a matter of some relatively trivial programming to produce the desired output.

A master-agent/sub-agent decomposition can also be achieved with the NET-SNMP toolkit based on the Standard AgentX technology, without any modification to the agent code.
