DESCRIPTION

30       The purpose of the default storage is three-fold:
31
32       1)     To  create a global storage space without creating a whole bunch
33              of globally accessible variables or  a  whole  bunch  of  access
34              functions to work with more privately restricted variables.
35
36       2)     To  provide  a single location where the thread locking needs to
37              be implemented. At the time of  this  writing,  however,  thread
38              locking is not yet in place.
39
40       3)     To  reduce  the number of cross dependencies between code pieces
41              that may or may not be linked together in  the  long  run.  This
42              provides  for a single location in which configuration data, for
43              example, can be stored for a separate section of code  that  may
44              not be linked in to the application in question.
45
46       The functions defined here implement these goals.
47
48       Currently,  three  data  types  are  supported: booleans, integers, and
49       strings. Each of these data types  have  separate  storage  spaces.  In
50       addition,  the  storage  space for each data type is divided further by
51       the application level.   Currently, there are two storage  spaces.  The
52       first  is  reserved for the SNMP library itself. The second is intended
53       for use in applications and is not modified or checked by the  library,
54       and, therefore, this is the space usable by you.
55
56       You can think of these storage spaces as being 3 arrays, something like
57       bool_storage[storeid][which],     int_storage[storeid][which],      and
58       string_storage[storeid][which].   The data is then accessed through the
59       functions defined below.  For data you wish to store, you should use  a
60       store parameter of NETSNMP_DS_APPLICATION_ID.
61
62       The storage space used by the library (for which the store parameter is
63       NETSNMP_DS_LIBRARY_ID) is defined in the  default_store.h  file,  which
64       currently contains the following defines:

FUNCTIONS

179       int netsnmp_ds_set_boolean(int store, int which, int val);
180              Stores  TRUE  if  val  !=  0  or  else FALSE into the bool_stor‐
181              age[store][which] slot.  Returns SNMPERR_GENERR if the store and
182              which  parameters  do  not  correspond  to a valid slot, or SNM‐
183              PERR_SUCCESS otherwise.
184
185       int netsnmp_ds_get_boolean(int store, int which);
186              Returns 1 if bool_storage[store][which] is TRUE  or  0  if  not.
187              May also return SNMPERR_GENERR if the store and which parameters
188              do not correspond to a valid slot.
189
190       int netsnmp_ds_set_string(int store, int which, const char *val);
191              Stores val into the string_storage[store][which] slot.   Returns
192              SNMPERR_SUCCESS  normally,  or  SNMPERR_GENERR  if the store and
193              which parameters do not correspond to a valid slot.
194
195       char *netsnmp_ds_get_string(int store, int which);
196              Returns the string which has been  stored  in  the  string_stor‐
197              age[store][which]  slot,  or NULL if the store and which parame‐
198              ters do not correspond to a valid slot.
199
200       netsnmp_ds_set_int(int store, int which, int val);
201              Stores val into  the  int_storage[store][which]  slot.   Returns
202              SNMPERR_GENERR  if  the store and which parameters do not corre‐
203              spond to a valid slot, or SNMPERR_SUCCESS otherwise.
204
205       int netsnmp_ds_get_int(int store, int which);
206              Returns the integer which  has  been  stored  in  the  int_stor‐
207              age[store][which] slot, or SNMPERR_GENERR if the store and which
208              parameters do not correspond to a valid slot.
209
210       void netsnmp_ds_shutdown(void);
211              Reclaims memory  used  to  hold  information  gathered  by  net‐
212              snmp_ds_register_config and netsnmp_ds_register_premib.
213
214       int  netsnmp_ds_register_config(u_char  type,  const char *ftype, const
215       char *token, int store, int which);
216              Registers a configuration file directive token and  attaches  it
217              to  a  default  storage  type and slot.  Specifically, store and
218              which indicate the storage slot in the data  type  indicated  by
219              type, where type is one of the following constants: ASN_BOOLEAN,
220              ASN_INTEGER, or ASN_OCTET_STR.  The ftype variable indicates the
221              file name base string searched for the token keyword.  For exam‐
222              ple, the following call:
223
224                     netsnmp_ds_register_config(ASN_INTEGER, "snmp",  "testto‐
225                     ken", DS_APPLICATION_ID, 5)
226
227              would  indicate  that  when the snmp.conf file(s) were found and
228              parsed, that any line beginning with the word "testtoken" should
229              be  read  and  the value after "testtoken" should be stored into
230              the int_storage[DS_APPLICATION_ID][5]  slot.   For  example  the
231              following line in the configuration file:
232
233                     testtoken 502
234
235              would  set  int_storage[DS_APPLICATION_ID][5] = 502.  This func‐
236              tion returns SNMPERR_SUCCESS if the registration was  made  suc‐
237              cessfully,  or  SNMPERR_GENERR  if the registration was not made
238              (perhaps because the store and which parameters  do  not  corre‐
239              spond  to  a valid slot, or because of a memory allocation fail‐
240              ure).
241
242       int netsnmp_ds_register_premib(u_char type, const  char  *ftype,  const
243       char *token, int store, int which);
244              Analogous to the preceeding function, but the token is processed
245              before MIBs are read (this is therefore useful  for  controlling
246              MIB processing options).
