snmp_trap_api - sending a trap or notification from a UCD-
       SNMP MIB module


SYNOPSIS

       #include agent_trap.h

       void send_easy_trap ( int trap, int specific );

       void send_trap_vars ( int trap, int specific, struct vari­
       able_list *vars );

       void send_v2trap ( struct variable_list *vars );


DESCRIPTION

       These  three routines may be used to send traps from a MIB
       module within the UCD SNMP agent.

       Send_easy_trap sends an SNMPv1 trap (or the SNMPv2 equiva­
       lent)  to  the  list  of  configured trap destinations (or
       "sinks"), using the provided values for the  generic  trap
       type, and specific trap value.

       Send_trap_vars  is  similar, but appends the supplied list
       of variable bindings to the traps that are sent.

       Send_v2trap uses the supplied list to form an SNMPv2 trap,
       which  is  sent  to SNMPv2-capable sinks on the configured
       list.   Sinks  that  can  only  handle  SNMPv1  traps  are
       skipped.


WARNINGS

       These routines are used to send the traps immediately they
       are called.  Invoking them at the appropriate time is left
       to the MIB module programmer.
