Re: [libsmi] How do I get the size of an OBJECT STRING?

I haven't been able to figure out how to obtain the fixed length of a non-implied object string index element given:

elNode = smiGetElementNode(smiElementPtr) && elType = smiGetNodeType(elNode) && elType->basetype == SMI_BASETYPE_OCTETSTRING

Length restrictions for strings are stored in smiRanges. Use smiGetFirstRange( smiTypePtr ) / smiGetNextRange( smiRangePtr ) to retrieve this information. In case of a fixed-length string there should be only one smiRange, and within this smiRange struct, minvalue and maxvalue should be equal. When dealing with non-implied types, also have a look at the ranges of the parent type (smiGetParentType( smiTypePtr )).
