The OMP Change Request
http://www.openvas.org/openvas-cr-28.html
is the most up to date OMP spec.
If you're using the SVN trunk Manager the new format attribute to the help
command will give you a very similar HTML document. This doc additionally
includes RelaxNG snippets for each command.
omp -X '<help format="HTML"/>' | xmlstarlet sel -t -v
/help_response/schema/text\(\) | base64 -d
Probably the "omp" command line client shown above will help you, to test
out OMP commands. Maybe also the GSA logs, to see what it sends and what
the Manager returns.
There is code that does OMP in openvas-cli/omp/omp.c. A simple example is
the manager_get_report_formats function. This file uses the C OMP library
in openvas-libraries/omp/omp.c. It also uses networking and XML functions
from openvas-libraries/misc/openvas_server.c and
openvas-libraries/omp/xml.c.
The code in gsa/src/gsad_omp.c is similar to that in openvas-cli. There's
also C++ OMP usage in gsd.
