Man page 1 : net-snmp-config

net-snmp-config - returns information about installed net-snmp libraries and binaries

net-snmp-config [OPTIONS]

The net-snmp-config shell script is designed to retrieve the configuration information about the libraries and binaries dealing with the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), built from the

net-snmp source package. The information is particularily useful for applications that need to link against the SNMP libraries and hence must know about any other libraries that must be linked in as well.

• --version
      displays the net-snmp version number
• --indent-options
      displays the indent options from the Coding Style
• --debug-tokens
      displays a example command line to search to source code for a list of available debug tokens

SNMP Setup commands:

• --create-snmpv3-user [-ro] [-a authpass] [-x privpass] [-X DES|AES]
      [-A MD5|SHA] [username]

These options produce the various compilation flags needed when building external SNMP applications:

• --base-cflags
      lists additional compilation flags needed for external applications (excludes -I. and extra developer warning flags, if any)
• --cflags
      lists additional compilation flags needed
• --libs
      lists libraries needed for building applications
• --agent-libs
      lists libraries needed for building subagents
• --netsnmp-libs
      lists netsnmp specific libraries
• --external-libs
      lists libraries needed by netsnmp libs
• --netsnmp-agent-libs
      lists netsnmp specific agent libraries --external-agent-libs lists libraries needed by netsnmp libs

Automated subagent building (produces an OUTPUTNAME binary file): [This feature has not been extensively tested, use at your own risk.]

• --compile-subagent OUTPUTNAME [--norm] [--cflags flags]
      [--ldflags flags] mibmodule1.c [...]]
• --norm
      leave the generated .c file around to read.
• --cflags flags
      extra cflags to use (e.g. -I...).
• --ldflags flags
      extra ld flags to use (e.g. -L... -l...).

Details on how the net-nsmp package was compiled:

• --configure-options
      Display original configure arguments
• --snmpd-module-list
      Display the modules compiled into the agent
• --prefix
      Display the installation prefix
