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 via the mxmib utility for use with HP SIM. 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.
Options
-d mib file directory
Change to the specified directory to locate and process the MIB file. The mib
file directory must include the absolute path name. The CFG file is placed
in the same directory. By default, mcompile looks for the MIB file in the current
directory and places the CFG file in the current directory.
