102.Sh DESCRIPTION
103The SNMP library contains routines to handle SNMP version 1, 2 and 3 PDUs.
104There are several basic structures used throughout the library:
105.Bd -literal -offset indent
106struct snmp_value {
107	struct asn_oid		var;
108	enum snmp_syntax	syntax;
109	union snmp_values {
110	  int32_t		integer;/* also integer32 */
111	  struct {
112	    u_int		len;
113	    u_char		*octets;
114	  }			octetstring;
115	  struct asn_oid	oid;
116	  u_char		ipaddress[4];
117	  uint32_t		uint32;	/* also gauge32, counter32,
118					   unsigned32, timeticks */
119	  uint64_t		counter64;
120	}			v;
121};
122.Ed
123.Pp
124This structure represents one variable binding from an SNMP PDU.
125The field
126.Fa var
127is the ASN.1 of the variable that is bound.
128.Fa syntax
129contains either the syntax code of the value or an exception code for SNMPv2
130and may be one of:
131.Bd -literal -offset indent
132enum snmp_syntax {
133	SNMP_SYNTAX_NULL	= 0,
134	SNMP_SYNTAX_INTEGER,	/* == INTEGER32 */
135	SNMP_SYNTAX_OCTETSTRING,
136	SNMP_SYNTAX_OID,
137	SNMP_SYNTAX_IPADDRESS,
138	SNMP_SYNTAX_COUNTER,
139	SNMP_SYNTAX_GAUGE,	/* == UNSIGNED32 */
140	SNMP_SYNTAX_TIMETICKS,
141
142	/* v2 additions */
143	SNMP_SYNTAX_COUNTER64,
144	/* exceptions */
145	SNMP_SYNTAX_NOSUCHOBJECT,
146	SNMP_SYNTAX_NOSUCHINSTANCE,
147	SNMP_SYNTAX_ENDOFMIBVIEW,
148};
149.Ed
150The field
151.Fa v
152holds the actual value depending on
153.Fa syntax .
154Note, that if
155.Fa syntax
156is
157.Li SNMP_SYNTAX_OCTETSTRING
158and
159.Fa v.octetstring.len
160is not zero,
161.Fa v.octetstring.octets
162points to a string allocated by
163.Xr malloc 3 .

319The function
320.Fn snmp_value_free
321is used to free all the dynamic allocated contents of an SNMP value.
322It does not free the structure pointed to by
323.Fa value
324itself.
325.Pp
326The function
327.Fn snmp_value_parse
328parses the ASCII representation of an SNMP value into its binary form.

330.Xr bsnmpd 1 .
331.Pp
332The function
333.Fn snmp_value_copy
334makes a deep copy of the value pointed to by
335.Fa from
336to the structure pointed to by
337.Fa to .
338It assumes that
339.Fa to
340is uninitialized and will overwrite its previous contents.
341It does not itself allocate the structure pointed to by
342.Fa to .
343.Pp
344The function
345.Fn snmp_pdu_free
346frees all the dynamically allocated components of the PDU.
347It does not itself free the structure pointed to by
348.Fa pdu .
349.Pp
350The function
351.Fn snmp_pdu_decode
352decodes the PDU pointed to by
353.Fa buf
354and stores the result into
355.Fa pdu .
356If an error occurs in a variable binding the (1 based) index of this binding
357is stored in the variable pointed to by
358.Fa ip .
359.Pp
360The function
361.Fn snmp_pdu_encode
362encodes the PDU
363.Fa pdu
364into the an octetstring in buffer, and if authentication and privacy are used,
365calculates a message digest and encrypts the PDU data in the buffer
366.Fa buf .
367.Pp
368The function
369.Fn snmp_pdu_decode_header
370decodes the header of the PDU pointed to by

372The uncoded PDU contents remain in the buffer.
373.Pp
374The function
375.Fn snmp_pdu_decode_scoped
376decodes the scoped PDU pointed to by
377.Fa buf .
378.Pp
379The function
380.Fn snmp_pdu_decode_secmode
381verifies the authentication parameter contained in the PDU (if present) and
382if the PDU is encrypted, decrypts the PDU contents pointed to by
383.Fa buf .
384If successfull, a plain text scoped PDU is stored in the buffer.
385.Pp
386The function
387.Fn snmp_pdu_init_secparams
388calculates the initialization vector for the privacy protocol in use before
389the PDU pointed to by
390.Fa pdu
391may be encrypted or decrypted.
392.Pp
393The function
394.Fn snmp_pdu_dump
395dumps the PDU in a human readable form by calling
396.Fn snmp_printf .
397.Pp
398The function
399.Fn snmp_passwd_to_keys
400calculates a binary private authentication key corresponding to a plain text human
401readable password string. The calculated key is placed in the
402.Fa auth_key
403field of the
404.Fa user .
405.Pp
406The function
407.Fn snmp_get_local_keys
408calculates a localazied authentication and privacy keys for a specified SNMPv3
409engine. The calculateds keys are placed in the
410.Fa auth_key
411and
412.Fa priv_key
413fields of the
414.Fa user .
415.Pp
416The function
417.Fn snmp_calc_keychange
418calculates a binary key change octet string based on the contents of an old and
419a new binary localized key. The rezult is placed in the buffer pointer to by
420.Fa keychange
421and may be used by an SNMPv3 user who wishes to change his/her password
422or localized key.
423.Pp
424The function
425.Fn TRUTH_MK
426takes a C truth value (zero or non-zero) and makes an SNMP truth value (2 or 1).
427The function
428.Fn TRUTH_GET
429takes an SNMP truth value and makes a C truth value (0 or 1).
430The function
431.Fn TRUTH_OK
432checks, whether its argument is a legal SNMP truth value.
433.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
434When an error occurs in any of the function the function pointed to

497.Sh CAVEAT
498The SNMPv3 message digests, encryption and decryption, and key routines use
499the cryptographic functions from
500.Xr crypto 3 .
501The library may optionally be built without references to the
502.Xr crypto 3
503library. In such case only plain text SNMPv3 PDUs without message digests
504may be proccessed correctly.
505.Sh STANDARDS
506This implementation conforms to the applicable IETF RFCs and ITU-T
507recommendations.
