Detailed Description

The Vbx class is a sub class of Vb that provides additional methods for manipulating SNMP variable bindings values.

AGENT++ uses Vbx instead of Vb. Most of the base methods of Vb are redefined as const methods.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Vbx::Vbx ( )

inline

Vbx::Vbx ( const NS_SNMP Vb &  vb )

inline

Vbx::Vbx ( const NS_SNMP Oid &  oid )

inline

Vbx::Vbx ( const NS_SNMP Oid &  oid, const NS_SNMP SnmpSyntax &  val  )

inline

Constructor with oid and value.

Parameters

oid	the oid part of the new variable binding.
value	the value part of the new variable binding.

Member Function Documentation

void Vbx::clear

(

)

Clear the content of the variable binding.

The content of the receiver will be the same as after creating it by Vbx()

Vbx* Vbx::clone ( ) const

inline

static bool Vbx::equal ( Vbx *  , Vbx *  , int    )

static

Compare two Vbx arrays for equality.

Parameters

vbxArray1	an array of n Vbx variable bindings.
vbxArray2	an array of n Vbx variable bindings.
n	the number of elements in the above arrays.

Returns

TRUE if the oids and the values of both variable binding arrays are equal.

static int Vbx::from_asn1 ( Vbx *&  , int &  , unsigned char *&  , int &    )

static

Decode a character stream that holds BER encoded sequence of variable bindings into an array of variable bindings.

Parameters

vbs	returns a pointer to an array of variable bindings. The caller has to delete the pointer if success is returned.
size	returns the size of the above array.
buf	a pointer to a character stream holding a BER encoded sequence of variable bindings. After execution, this pointer will point to first character in buf after the decoded sequence.
bufsize	the number of characters left in the buffer (for decoding). This will be decremented by the amount of decoded bytes.

Oidx Vbx::get_oid ( ) const

inline

Return the oid value of the receiver.

Returns

a copy of the oid value of the receiver.

void Vbx::get_oid ( Oidx &  oid ) const

inline

static int Vbx::to_asn1 ( Vbx *  , int  , unsigned char *&  , int &    )

static

Encode a given array of variable bindings into a octet stream using ASN.1 (BER).

Note: The list of variable bindings is encoded as a sequence of oid/value pairs.

Parameters

vbs	a pointer to an array of variable bindings.
size	the size of the above array.
buf	returns a pointer to the character stream that holds the BER encoding. Note that the user of this method is responsible to free the memory allocated for buf.
bufsize	the size of the returned character stream.

Returns

0 on success.
