post_mosy(1Msnmp)

post_mosy -- back-end wrapper for mosy

Synopsis

post_mosy -i module.defs [-o module.mib]

Description

The post_mosy program reads the output generated by mosy(1Msnmp) and produces an ASCII file containing the name and the numeric object identifier of each object present in the mosy output. This ASCII file can be read as configuration data by network management utilities.

The -i option sets the name of the mosy file which will be used as input.

The -o option sets the name of the output file. If module.mib is set to ``-'' or the -o option is omitted altogether, post_mosy writes to the standard output.

NOTE: Before running post_mosy over the file generated by mosy, you must either prepend the object definitions of selected nodes to the mosy output, or run the shell script, mibcomp.sh. These object definitions appear on the mibcomp(1Msnmp) manual page.

The mosy and post_mosy programs can be invoked together by running the shell script mibcomp.sh. This creates the configuration data used by the management utilities (such as getmany(1Msnmp), and getnext(1Msnmp)) from multiple input files containing MIB definitions in ASN.1 notation.
