Thank you guys for your answers.
I think I need to explain this better, since you haven't quite understood the
question...
As part of an (embedded) SNMP (sort of) manager, I'm writing a cgi script (in
c) that will load a number of MIB files into the MIB tree using the MIB api.
The browser is going to give me a Trap OID in numeric form and the index of one
of its varbinds (objects that the agent will also send when it sends a trap)
and I need to in return send the label of that varbind.
I know where to find that label, it is in a list as part of the node that
defines the trap in the MIB tree that I can access when using mib api.
The question is if I can easily find the pointer to a node in the tree just by
having its OID in numeric form, because if I do, then I can go through the list
of varbinds and get the label I want.
If I can't then I guess I will have to search the tree starting from the root
and looking for each of the subids at every level, until I reach the node that
defines the trap. This can take a while, considring I may need to look for many
of them, and there will be a web browser at the other end waiting for a reply...
Thanks again.
Daniel.

Subject: Searching the MIB tree
Hi,
Using the mib api, given a string containing the numerical form of an OID, I
need to get a list of it’s varbinds in text form.
I can see in the man pages for mib_api that there is a get_module_node that
will search for the given OID string, but in return it will give me just the
OID list, so I don’t really see any difference with read_objid or indeed how
this can help me, unless there is a function that taking the OID list will give
me the node…
I need something that will give me a pointer to the node of the tree that
contains that object, so I can then look at the varbind_list field.
Before I start coding a tedious routine to search the whole tree, is there
anything that would already do this?
Thanks in advance.
Daniel.
