Detailed Description

The Vb class is the encapsulation of the SNMP variable binding.

Variable binding lists in SNMP++ are represented as arrays of Vb objects. Vb objects are passed to and from SNMP objects to provide getting or setting MIB values. The vb class keeps its own memory for objects and does not utilize pointers to external data structures.

Returns: A null terminated string (empty if no value).

SmiUINT32 Vb::get_syntax ( ) const

Return the syntax or the exception status.

Returns: If the SNMPv2 exception status is set, it is returned. otherwise the syntax of the value object is returned.

int Vb::get_value ( SnmpSyntax & val ) const

Get the value using a SnmpSyntax object.

Parameters

val	- An object of a subclass of SnmpSyntax that will be assigned the value of the vb.

Returns: SNMP_CLASS_SUCCESS if the vb value could be assigned to the passed SnmpSyntax object, else SNMP_CLASS_INVALID.

int Vb::get_value ( int & i ) const

Get the value.

This method will only return success if the value of the vb is SMI INT32.

Parameters

i	- returned value

Returns: SNMP_CLASS_SUCCESS on success, else SNMP_CLASS_INVALID.

int Vb::get_value ( unsigned int & i ) const

Get the value.

This method will only return success if the value of the vb can be mapped to an unsigned long (SMI types uint32, counter32, gauge and timeticks).

Parameters

i	- returned value

Returns: SNMP_CLASS_SUCCESS on success, else SNMP_CLASS_INVALID.

int Vb::get_value ( long & i ) const

Get the value.

This method will only return success if the value of the vb is SMI INT32.

Parameters

Returns: SNMP_CLASS_SUCCESS on success, else SNMP_CLASS_INVALID.

int Vb::get_value ( unsigned long & i ) const

Get the value.

This method will only return success if the value of the vb can be mapped to an unsigned long (SMI types uint32, counter32, gauge and timeticks).

Parameters

Returns: SNMP_CLASS_SUCCESS on success, else SNMP_CLASS_INVALID.

int Vb::get_value ( pp_uint64 & i ) const

Get the value.

This method will only return success if the value of the vb can be mapped to an unsigned 64bit value (SMI type counter64).

Returns: SNMP_CLASS_SUCCESS on success, else SNMP_CLASS_INVALID.

int Vb::get_value	(	unsigned char *	ptr,
		unsigned long &	len
	)		const
