NAME

6       smiquery - query single information from SMI MIB modules
7

SYNOPSIS

9       smiquery [ -Vh ] [ -p module ] command name
10

DESCRIPTION

12       The smiquery program is used to query information on a single item from
13       an MIB module, e.g. module meta information or a  single  type  defini‐
14       tion.
15

OPTIONS

17       -V, --version
18              Show the smiquery version and exit.
19
20       -h, --help
21              Show  a  help  text  and exit. The help text lists all available
22              commands.
23
24       -p module, --preload module
25              Preload the module module before reading the main  module.  This
26              may  be  helpful  if  an incomplete main module misses to import
27              some definitions.
28
29       command name
30              This specifies the kind  of  information  to  retrieve  (module,
31              imports,  revisions,  node,  parent, compliance, index, members,
32              children, type, or macro) and the item to retrieve.
33
34       The module in question is searched along a path, which  is  initialized
35       by the SMIPATH environment variable or by /usr/share/mibs if SMIPATH is
36       not set. Files with a .sming extension are expected to be  (old-style!)
37       SMIng  module  files.  Files  with  a  .my or without any extension are
38       expected to be SMIv1/v2 module files.
