.SH DESCRIPTION

These functions retrieve information on any SMI node definition in the

object identifier tree, these are ASN.1 object identifier assignments,

MODULE-IDENTITYs, OBJECT-IDENTITYs, OBJECT-TYPEs, NOTIFICATION-TYPEs,

TRAP-TYPEs, OBJECT-GROUPs, NOTIFICATION-GROUPs, MODULE-COMPLIANCEs,

and AGENT-CAPABILITYs in SMIv1/v2 and node, scalar, table,

row, column, notification, group, and compliance statements in SMIng.

.PP

The \fBsmiGetNode()\fP function retrieves a \fBstruct SmiNode\fP that

represents a node of any kind. \fINode\fP may be either a

fully qualified descriptor, a simple node name, or a numerical OID.

Nodes are also found, if \fInode\fP contains an instance identifier

suffix.

If \fIsmiModulePtr\fP is not NULL it used to limit the search to the

given module. If the node is not found, \fBsmiGetNode()\fP returns NULL.

.PP

The \fBsmiGetNodeByOID()\fP function retrieves a \fBstruct SmiNode\fP that

matches the longest prefix of the node that is specified by the

object identifier \fIoid[]\fP with the length \fIoidlen\fP.

If no such node is not found, \fBsmiGetNodeByOID()\fP returns NULL.

.PP

The \fBsmiGetFirstNode()\fP and \fBsmiGetNextNode()\fP functions are

used to iteratively retrieve \fBstruct SmiNode\fPs in tree pre-order.

\fBsmiGetFirstNode()\fP returns the first node defined in the module

specified by \fIsmiModulePtr\fP that is of any kind specified in

the \fIkinds\fP bitset.

Subsequent calls to \fBsmiGetNextNode()\fP return the next node of

any kind specified in the \fIkinds\fP bitset. If there are no

more node definitions in the module, NULL is returned.

.PP

The \fBsmiGetFirstChildNode()\fP and \fBsmiGetNextChildNode()\fP

functions are used to iteratively retrieve \fBstruct SmiNode\fPs that

represent the immediate child nodes of the node specified

by \fIsmiNodePtr\fP passed to the \fBsmiGetFirstChildNode()\fP call.

.PP

The \fBsmiGetParentNode()\fP function is used to retrieve

a \fBstruct SmiNode\fPs that represents the parent node of the node

specified by \fIsmiNodePtr\fP.

.PP

The \fBsmiGetRelatedNode()\fP function is used to retrieve

a \fBstruct SmiNode\fPs that is related to the node specified

by \fIsmiNodePtr\fP. Actually, this is used for SMIv2 table augmentation

entries and similar SMIng constructs.

.PP

The \fBsmiGetNodeModule()\fP function returns the module that defines

the node given by \fIstruct SmiNodePtr\fP.

.PP

The \fBsmiGetNodeType()\fP function returns the type of

the (scalar or columnar) node given by \fIstruct SmiNodePtr\fP.

If \fIstruct SmiNodePtr\fP does not specify a scalar or columnar

node, NULL is returned.

.PP

The \fBsmiGetFirstElement()\fP and \fBsmiGetNextElement()\fP functions are

used to iteratively retrieve \fBstruct SmiElement\fPs that represent

elements of index clauses or notification object lists, groups of object

types or notification types, and mandatory groups of module compliance

statements. The node to which the list belongs has to be specified

by \fIsmiNodePtr\fP. To retrieve the node that is represented by

a \fBstruct SmiElement\fP, the \fBsmiGetElementNode()\fP function has

to be called.

.PP

The \fBsmiGetFirstOption()\fP and \fBsmiGetNextOption()\fP functions are

used to iteratively retrieve \fBstruct SmiOption\fPs that represent

statements on optional (object or notification) groups within the compliance

statement specified by \fIsmiComplianceNodePtr\fP. The group node which is

subject of such a statement can be retrieved by the \fBsmiGetOptionNode()\fP

function.

.PP

Similarly, the \fBsmiGetFirstRefinement()\fP and \fBsmiGetNextRefinement()\fP

functions are used to iteratively retrieve \fBstruct SmiRefinement\fPs that

represent statements on optional object refinements within the compliance

statement specified by \fIsmiComplianceNodePtr\fP. The node which is

subject of such a refinement can be retrieved by

the \fBsmiGetRefinementNode()\fP function. The optional refined type and

write-type of a refinement can be retrieved by

the \fBsmiGetRefinementType()\fP and \fBsmiGetRefinementWriteType()\fP

functions. If they are not present, NULL is returned.

.PP

The \fBsmiGetNodeLine()\fP function returns the line number within the

module where the node specified by \fIsmiNodePtr\fP is defined.
