View Source snmpa_mib_storage behaviour (snmp v5.16)

Behaviour module for the SNMP agent mib storage.

This module defines the behaviour of the SNMP agent mib storage.

The mib storage is used by the agent to store internal mib- related information. The mib storage module is used by several entities, not just the mib-server.

A snmpa_mib_storage compliant module must export the following functions:

The semantics of them and their exact signatures are explained below.

info(TabId)

View Source (since OTP R16B01)
-callback info(TabId :: mib_storage_table_id()) -> Info :: term().

Retrieve implementation dependent mib-storage table information.

match_delete(TabId, Pattern)

View Source (since OTP R16B01)
-callback match_delete(TabId :: mib_storage_table_id(), Pattern :: ets:match_pattern()) ->
                Recs :: [tuple()] | {error, Reason :: term()}.

Search the mib-storage table for record that match the specified pattern and then delete them. The records deleted are also returned.

Link to this callback

match_object(TabId, Pattern)

View Source (since OTP R16B01)
-callback match_object(TabId :: mib_storage_table_id(), Pattern :: ets:match_pattern()) ->
                Recs :: [tuple()] | {error, Reason :: term()}.

Link to this callback

open(Name, RecName, Fields, Type, Options)

View Source (since OTP R16B01)
-callback open(Name :: atom(),
     RecName :: atom(),

     Type :: mib_storage_table_type(),
     Options :: list()) ->
        {ok, TabId :: mib_storage_table_id()} | {error, Reason :: term()}.

Create or open a mib storage table.

Note that the RecordName and Fields arguments my not be used in all implementations (they are actually only needed for mnesia-based implementations).

Note also that the Options argument comes from the options config option of the mib-storage config option, and is passed on as is.
