Net-SNMP                                         SNMP_TRAP_API(3)



NAME
     send_easy_trap, send_trap_vars, send_v2trap - send TRAPs  or
     INFORMs from a Net-SNMP MIB module

SYNOPSIS
     #include 

     void send_easy_trap(int trap, int specific);

     void   send_trap_vars(int   trap,   int   specific,   struct
     variable_list *vars

     void send_v2trap(struct variable_list *vars);

DESCRIPTION
     These three routines may be used to send traps  from  a  MIB
     module  within  the  Net-SNMP  agent  (including  an  AgentX
     subagent).

     send_easy_trap()  sends  an  SNMPv1  trap  (or  the   SNMPv2
     equivalent)  to the list of configured trap destinations (or
     "sinks"), using the provided values  for  the  generic  trap
     type, and specific trap value.

     send_trap_vars() is similar, but appends the  supplied  list
     of variable bindings to the traps that are sent.

     send_v2trap() uses the supplied list of variable bindings to
     form  an  SNMPv2 trap, which is sent to SNMPv2-capable sinks
     on the configured list.  An equivalent INFORM is sent to the
     configuredq  list of inform sinks.  Sinks that can only han-
     dle SNMPv1 traps are skipped.

     The various "send_trap()" calls allow you to  specify  traps
     in different formats.  And the various "trapsink" directives
     allow you to specify destinations to receive different  for-
     mats.   But  *all*  traps  are  sent  to *all* destinations,
     regardless of how they were specified.
     I.e. it's
                                              ___  trapsink
                                             /
         send_easy_trap ___  [  Trap      ] ____  trap2sink
                         ___  [ Generator  ]
         send_v2trap    /     [            ] ----- informsink
                                             ____
                                                   trapsess

     *Not*
          send_easy_trap  ------------------->  trapsink
          send_v2trap     ------------------->  trap2sink
          ????            ------------------->  informsink
          ????            ------------------->  trapsess

WARNINGS
     These routines are used to send the traps  immediately  they
     are  called.   Invoking them at the appropriate time is left
     to the MIB module programmer.
