I understand now, thanks.
However, what is the difference between SNMP_NOSUCHINSTANCE and
SNMP_NOSUCHOBJECT ? Basically, how would an SNMP operator interpret each of
these responses?

You register a scalar object using a statement of the form
netsnmp_register_scalar(...);
or
netsnmp_register_xxx_instance(...);
in the init_xxx() routine.
This tells the agent about this MIB object, and how to deal with requests
for it.
You don't register a scalar object, using a statement of the form:
/* netsnmp_register_scalar(...); */
or
/* netsnmp_register_xxx_instance(...); */
in the init_xxx() routine instead.
If the agent doesn't know anything about a MIB object, it will automatically
return 'noSuchObject' for any such requests.
