Binding MIB Objects
SNMP_Bind_String()
This function associates a variable binding of type OCTET_STRING, DisplayString,
Opaque, or NSAPADDRESS with a packet previously initialized with
SNMP_Create_Request() or SNMP_Create_Trap().
rcode = SNMP_Bind_String(packet,
index,
instance-count,
instance-components,
data-type,
value-length,
value,
buffer-flag);
int SNMP_Bind_String(SNMP_PKT_T *packet,
int index,
int instance-count,
OIDC_T *instance-components,
OCTET_T data-type,
int value-length,
OCTET_T *value,
int buffer-flag);
rcode
A return integer indicating whether the call succeeded. A value
of 0 indicates success, and -1 indicates failure.
packet
A pointer to an initialized request or trap packet.
index
A zero-based index value indicating the position into which to
bind the MIB variable in a list of variable bindings. A value of 0
binds the variable at the front of the list, 1 binds the variable into
the second position, and so forth. The order in which you assign
variable bindings to a list is irrelevant. For example, if you have
two variable bindings, you can use an index value of 1 in the first
SNMP_Bind_ call and a value of 0 in the second call to bind the
variables into the second and first positions, respectively.
instance-
count
The number of components in the instance identifier whose value
you supply in instance-components. For example, an
instance identifier of 1.2.3.4 has a component count of 4.
instance-
components
A pointer to a structure of type OIDC_T that contains the
instance identifier of the variable binding.
data-type
The SNMP data type of the object being bound. Assign one of
these values:
VT_STRING
VT_OPAQUE
VT_NSAPADDRESS
