35.Dt GENSNMPTREE 1
36.Os
37.Sh NAME
38.Nm gensnmptree
39.Nd "generate C and header files from a MIB description file"
40.Sh SYNOPSIS
41.Nm
42.Op Fl dEehlt
43.Op Fl I Ar directory
44.Op Fl i Ar infile
45.Op Fl p Ar prefix
46.Op Ar name Ar ...
47.Sh DESCRIPTION
48The
49.Nm
50utility is used to either generate C language tables and header files from
51a MIB description or to numeric OIDs from MIB descriptions.
52The first form is used only for maintaining the
53.Xr bsnmpd 1
54daemon or for module writers.
55The second form may be used by SNMP client program writers.
56.Pp
57If none of the options
58.Fl e ,
59.Fl E
60or
61.Fl t
62are used
63.Nm
64reads a MIB description from its standard input and creates two files: a
65C-file
66.Ar prefix Ns tree.c
67containing a table used by
68.Xr bsnmpd 1
69during PDU processing
70and a header file
71.Ar prefix Ns tree.h
72containing appropriate declarations of the callback functions used in this
73table, the table itself and definitions for all enums.
74.Pp
75The following options are available:
76.Bl -tag -width ".Fl E"
77.It Fl d
78Switch on debugging.
79.It Fl E
80Extract enumerations and bit constructs.
81In this mode the tool emits
82a header file that contains for each type given on the command line a
83C-enum definition and a preprocessor define that may be used to map
84values to strings.
85.It Fl e
86.Nm
87expects MIB variable names (only the last component) on its command line.
88It reads a MIB specification from standard input and for each MIB variable
89name emits three C preprocessor defines on its standard output:
90.Bl -tag -width ".Va OIDLEN_ Ns Ar Name"
91.It Va OIDX_ Ns Ar name
92This define can be used to initialize a
93.Va struct asn_oid
94in the following way:
95.Pp
96.Dl const struct asn_oid oid_sysDescr = OIDX_sysDescr;
97.It Va OIDLEN_ Ns Ar name
98is the length of the OID.
99.It Va OID_ Ns Ar name
100is the last component of the OID.
101.El
102.It Fl h
103Print a short help page.
104.It Fl I Ar directory
105Add the named directory to the include path just before the standard include
106directories.
107.It Fl i Ar infile
108Read from the named file instead of standard input.
109.It Fl l
110Generate local preprocessor includes.
111This is used for bootstrapping
112.Xr bsnmpd 1 .
113.It Fl t
114Instead of normal output print the resulting tree.
115.It Fl p Ar prefix
116Prefix the file names and the table name with
117.Ar prefix .
118.El
119.Sh MIBS
120The syntax of the MIB description file can formally be specified as follows:
121.Bd -unfilled -offset indent
122 file := top | top file
123
124 top := tree | typedef | include
125
126 tree := head elements ')'
127
128 entry := head ':' index STRING elements ')'
129
130 leaf := head type STRING ACCESS ')'
131
132 column := head type ACCESS ')'
133
134 type := BASETYPE | BASETYPE '|' subtype | enum | bits
135
136 subtype := STRING
137
138 enum := ENUM '(' value ')'
139
140 bits := BITS '(' value ')'
141
142 value := INT STRING | INT STRING value
143
144 head := '(' INT STRING
145
146 elements := EMPTY | elements element
147
148 element := tree | leaf | column
149
150 index := type | index type
151
152 typedef := 'typedef' STRING type
153
154 include := 'include' filespec
155
156 filespec := '"' STRING '"' | '<' STRING '>'
157.Ed
158.Pp
159.Ar BASETYPE
160specifies a SNMP data type and may be one of
161.Bl -bullet -offset indent -compact
162.It
163NULL
164.It
165INTEGER
166.It
167INTEGER32 (same as INTEGER)

184.El
185.Pp
186.Ar ACCESS
187specifies the accessibility of the MIB variable (which operation can be
188performed) and is one of
189.Bl -bullet -offset indent -compact
190.It
191GET
192.It
193SET
194.El
195.Pp
196.Ar INT
197is a decimal integer and
198.Ar STRING
199is any string starting with a letter or underscore and consisting of
200letters, digits, underscores and minuses, that is not one of the keywords.
201.Pp
202The
203.Ar typedef
204directive associates a type with a single name.
205.Pp
206The
207.Ar include
208directive is replaced by the contents of the named file.
209.Sh EXAMPLES
210The following MIB description describes the system group:
211.Bd -literal -offset indent
212include "tc.def"
