I just started writing C code with the 5.1.2 API ... no agent stuff, just some gets for right now.
But I was trying to print an OID (system.sysObjectID). The expected string would print, but then all kinds of numeric jibberish was appended to it (using snprint_objid). The val_len after the get 72 which I knew was too long. I used the print_variable() call to verify my in-memory SNMP response was good; it printed the expected information correctly. Only after I plunged into the mib.c file did I discover that I was to divide the val_len by sizeof(oid). I did it and it worked for my code. So my question is ... while looking at the tutorials, FAQ, and apps in the app directory, did I miss some place where something talks about this mysterious division by sizeof(oid)? Because, if so, then I've probably missed other huge topics that will become time sinks later on. Should I be looking someplace else? Shane -- Shane A.
