NAME
       smiquery - query single information from SMI MIB modules

SYNOPSIS
       smiquery [ -Vh ] [ -p module ] command name

DESCRIPTION
       The smiquery program is used to query information on a single item from
       an MIB module, e.g. module meta information or a  single  type  defini‐
       tion.

OPTIONS
       -V, --version
              Show the smiquery version and exit.

       -h, --help
              Show  a  help  text  and exit. The help text lists all available
              commands.

       -p module, --preload module
              Preload the module module before reading the main  module.  This
              may  be  helpful  if  an incomplete main module misses to import
              some definitions.

       command name
              This specifies the kind  of  information  to  retrieve  (module,
              imports,  revisions,  node,  parent, compliance, index, members,
              children, type, or macro) and the item to retrieve.

       The module in question is searched along a path, which  is  initialized
       by the SMIPATH environment variable or by /usr/share/mibs if SMIPATH is
       not set. Files with a .sming extension are expected to be  (old-style!)
       SMIng  module  files.  Files  with  a  .my or without any extension are
       expected to be SMIv1/v2 module files.

EXAMPLE
       This example queries for information on the node  ifNumber  defined  in
       the module IF-MIB.

         $ smiquery node IF-MIB::ifNumber
              MibNode: IF-MIB::ifNumber
               OID: 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.1
              Type: Integer32
          Declaration: OBJECT-TYPE
             NodeKind: scalar
            Access: read-only
            Status: current
          Description: The number of network interfaces (regardless of their
                 current state) present on this system.
