mcompile
Compiles SNMP mib files into intermediate format (.cfg) files for registering into Systems Insight

Synopsis
mcompile [–d mib file directory ] filespec
Description
The mcompile command enables you to compile an SNMP MIB file into an intermediate format
(CFG) file that can be registered through the mxmib utility for use with Systems Insight Manager.
If the MIB file being compiled includes IMPORTS from other MIBs, the imported MIB files must be
in the same directory as the MIB file being compiled. If the imported MIB file does not exist in the
directory, mcompile obtains the correct MIB filename from the user.
Options
mcompile recognizes the following options:
-d
Change to the specified directory to locate and process the MIB file. The intermediate
(.cfg) file will be placed in the same directory. By default, mcompile looks for
the MIB file in the current directory and places the intermediate (.cfg) file in the
current directory.
