Getting OID syntax type and ASN type

[C C. <C.C...@ev...>]

Hi All,

 

I am replacing an existing SNMP system from TCL Scotty to NetSNMP.   As
a part of it, I am planning to write a TCL interface over NetSNMP.
There are few commands in Scotty, for which I am not able to find any
SNMP equivalent API

 

Ex: 

 

*         To get syntax/Type of a particular OID field 

mib syntax $field

 

 

*         To get name of the ASN.1 macro used to define MIB node and
validate trap

mib macro $trap_name

 

 

 

for the below MIB node

 

MyProcessName                 OBJECT-TYPE

                             SYNTAX      DisplayString (SIZE (0..32))

                             MAX-ACCESS  accessible-for-notify

                             STATUS      current

                             DESCRIPTION "Process raising the alarm.

                                         "

                             ::=  { ProcessInfo 1 }

 

 

Once the mib is loaded, If I  invoke   

 

     mib syntax MyProcessName in TCL   or getOIDSytax(MyProcessName) in
'C';              

 

This should return  "DisplayString."

 

Similarly , if I invoke

                mib macro MyProcessName in TCL  or
getOIDMacro(MyProcessName) in 'C';

 

                This should return "OBJECT-TYPE"

 

As per my current understanding there is no direct NetSNMP API , which
can help me in doing so.    Can someone me please give me some tips on
how to write these new API.  Or some code snippet to which I can refer
to.

 

 

Regards,

Chiranjeevi
