smicache - caching method for use with libsmi
Contents
Description
The smicache program can be used by libsmi to fetch MIB modules that cannot be found in regular local MIB
directories.
Example
Smicache can be used by putting the following line into the global configuration file:
cache /usr/local/share/mibs/cache \
/usr/local/bin/smicache \
-d /usr/local/share/mibs/cache \
-p http://www.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de/projects/libsmi/smicache/
You might want to chmod 1777 /usr/local/share/mibs/cache.
Name
smicache - caching method for use with libsmi
Options
-V Show the smicache version and exit.
-h Show a help text and exit.
-ddir Write fetched module file(s) to directory dir.
-pprefix
Use the URL prefix prefix for fetching modules.
mib The MIB module to be fetched.
Note that smicache is just a very simple script that builds on the wget program to retrieve files from
URLs. It does not handle the file attributes of retrieved modules in any special way, so that you have to
care about permissions in multi-user environments.
