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.
