Man1 - net-snmp-config.1

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 particularly 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|SHA-512|SHA-384|SHA-256|SHA-224] [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 […]]
• leave the generated .c file around to read.
• extra cflags to use (e.g. -I…).

• extra ld flags to use (e.g. -L… -l…).

• Display original configure arguments
• Display the modules compiled into the agent
• Display the installation prefix
