NAME
       smicache - caching method for use with libsmi

SYNOPSIS
       smicache [ -Vh ] [ -d dir ] [ -p prefix ] [ mib ]

DESCRIPTION
       The  smicache  program  can be used by libsmi to fetch MIB modules that
       cannot be found in regular local MIB directories.

OPTIONS
       -V     Show the smicache version and exit.

       -h     Show a help text and exit.

       -d dir Write fetched module file(s) to directory dir.

       -p prefix
              Use the URL prefix prefix for fetching modules.

       mib    The MIB module to be fetched.

       Note that smicache is just a very simple script that builds on the wget
       program  to  retrieve  files  from  URLs.  It  does not handle the file
       attributes of retrieved modules in any special way, so that you have to
       care about permissions in multi-user environments.

EXAMPLE
       Smicache can be used by putting the following line into the global con‐
       figuration file:

         cache /usr/local/share/mibs/cache \
           /usr/local/bin/smicache \
           -d /usr/local/share/mibs/cache \
           -p http://www.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de/projects/libsmi/smicache/

       You might want to chmod 1777 /usr/local/share/mibs/cache.

SEE ALSO
       The  libsmi(3)   project   is   documented   at   http://www.ibr.cs.tu-
       bs.de/projects/libsmi/.
