       These  functions  retrieve  information  on  a  type definition (SMIng) or a simple ASN.1 type definition
       (SMIv1/v2) or a TEXTUAL-CONVENTION definition  (SMIv2).  Base  types  may  also  be  retrieved  by  these
       functions.

       The  smiGetType()  function retrieves a structSmiType that represents a type. Type may be either a fully
       qualified descriptor or a simple type name.  If smiModulePtr is not NULL it used to limit the  search  to
       the given module. If the type is not found, smiGetType() returns NULL.

       The  smiGetFirstType()  and  smiGetNextType() functions are used to iteratively retrieve structSmiTypes.
       smiGetFirstType() returns the first one defined in the module specified by smiModulePtr. Subsequent calls
       to smiGetNextType() return the following ones.  If there are no more type definitions in the module  NULL
       is returned.

       The  smiGetParentType()  function retrieves a structSmiType of the type from which the type specified by
       smiTypePtr is derived. If there is no parent type (i.e. the type specified by smiTypePtr is a base type),
       smiGetParentType() returns NULL.

       Similarly, the smiGetFirstRange() and smiGetNextRange() functions are used to iteratively retrieve structSmiRanges that represent range restrictions of the type specified by smiTypePtr, either size ranges of an
       octet string type or value ranges in case of a numeric type.

       Similarly, the smiGetFirstNamedNumber() and smiGetNextNamedNumber() functions  are  used  to  iteratively
       retrieve  structSmiNamedNumbers that represent named numbers of the type specified by smiTypePtr, which
       has to be either a bit set or an enumeration type.

       The smiGetTypeModule() function returns the module that defines the type given by structSmiTypePtr.

       The smiGetTypeLine() function returns the line number within the  module  where  the  type  specified  by
       smiTypePtr is defined.
