  • Method Details

    • format

      String format(OID instanceOID, Variable variable, boolean withOID)
      Returns a textual representation of the supplied variable against the optionally supplied instance OID.
      Parameters:
      instanceOID - the instance OID variable is associated with. If null the formatting cannot take any MIB specification of the variable into account and has to format it based on its type only.
      variable - the variable to format.
      withOID - if true the instanceOID should be included in the textual representation to form a VariableBinding representation.
      Returns:
      the textual representation.

    • parseVariableBinding

      VariableBinding parseVariableBinding(String text) throws ParseException
      Parses a textual representation of a variable binding.
      Parameters:
      text - a textual representation of the variable binding.
      Returns:
      the new VariableBinding instance.
      Throws:
      ParseException - if the variable binding cannot be parsed successfully.

    • parse

      Variable parse(OID classOrInstanceOID, String text) throws ParseException
      Parses a textual representation of a variable against its associated OBJECT-TYPE OID.
      Parameters:
      classOrInstanceOID - the instance OID variable is associated with. Must not be null.
      text - a textual representation of the variable.
      Returns:
      the new Variable instance.
      Throws:
      ParseException - if the variable cannot be parsed successfully.

    • parse

      Variable parse(int smiSyntax, String text) throws ParseException
      Parses a textual representation of a variable against a SMI type.
      Parameters:
      smiSyntax - the SMI syntax identifier identifying the target Variable.
      text - a textual representation of the variable.
      Returns:
      the new Variable instance.
      Throws:
      ParseException - if the variable cannot be parsed successfully.
