Here is a documentation error that I found while,
a) reviewing the code of the demo application at URL
<http://www.net-snmp.org/tutorial-5/toolkit/demoapp/snmpdemoapp.c>
b) reviewing the documentation page at URL
<http://www.net-snmp.org/tutorial-5/toolkit/demoapp/index.html>
The error is as shown in the extract:
/* change the word "undef" to "define" to try the (insecure) SNMPv1 version */
#define DEMO_USE_SNMP_VERSION_3
Clearly, the extract should read as:
/* change the word "define" to "undef" to try the (insecure) SNMPv1 version */
#define DEMO_USE_SNMP_VERSION_3
I know, I am being picky. Still, it is this kind of error, slight as it
is, that I read every day in the code which other programmers write. As
a contract programmer, I am always asked to figure out what the code of
someone else does, and why it doesn't do what my client wants it to do.
In this capacity, I am frequently moved to demostrate to those clients
why it is that other programmers cannot figure out what the code does,
and this often relates to poor attention to detail, in code design, code
commenting, and other forms of documentation.
