       The  smiquery  program is used to query information on a single item from an MIB module, e.g. module meta
       information or a single type definition.

       This example queries for information on the node ifNumber defined in the module IF-MIB.

         $ smiquery node IF-MIB::ifNumber
              MibNode: IF-MIB::ifNumber
               OID: 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.1
              Type: Integer32
          Declaration: OBJECT-TYPE
             NodeKind: scalar
            Access: read-only
            Status: current
          Description: The number of network interfaces (regardless of their
                 current state) present on this system.

-V,--version
              Show the smiquery version and exit.

       -h,--help
              Show a help text and exit. The help text lists all available commands.

       -pmodule,--preloadmodule
              Preload the module module before reading the main module. This may be  helpful  if  an  incomplete
              main module misses to import some definitions.

       commandname
              This  specifies  the  kind  of  information to retrieve (module, imports, revisions, node, parent,
              compliance, index, members, children, type, or macro) and the item to retrieve.

       The module in question is searched along a path, which is initialized by the SMIPATH environment variable
       or by /usr/share/mibs if SMIPATH is not set. Files with a .sming  extension  are  expected  to  be  (old-
       style!)  SMIng module files. Files with a .my or without any extension are expected to be SMIv1/v2 module
       files.
