This structure represents an SNMPv3 user as specified by the User-based Security Model (USM) described in RFC 3414. The field sec_name is a human readable string containing the security user name. auth_proto contains the id of the authentication protocol in use by the user and may be one of:

The function snmp_value_free() is used to free all the dynamic allocated contents of an SNMP value. It does not free the structure pointed to by value itself.

The function snmp_value_parse() parses the ASCII representation of an SNMP value into its binary form. This function is mainly used by the configuration file reader of bsnmpd(1).

The function snmp_value_copy() makes a deep copy of the value pointed to by from to the structure pointed to by to. It assumes that to is uninitialized and will overwrite its previous contents. It does not itself allocate the structure pointed to by to.

The function snmp_pdu_free() frees all the dynamically allocated components of the PDU. It does not itself free the structure pointed to by pdu.

The function snmp_pdu_decode() decodes the PDU pointed to by buf and stores the result into pdu. If an error occurs in a variable binding the (1 based) index of this binding is stored in the variable pointed to by ip.

The function snmp_pdu_encode() encodes the PDU pdu into the an octetstring in buffer, and if authentication and privacy are used, calculates a message digest and encrypts the PDU data in the buffer buf.

The function snmp_pdu_decode_header() decodes the header of the PDU pointed to by buf. The uncoded PDU contents remain in the buffer.

The function snmp_pdu_decode_scoped() decodes the scoped PDU pointed to by buf.

The function snmp_pdu_decode_secmode() verifies the authentication parameter contained in the PDU (if present) and if the PDU is encrypted, decrypts the PDU contents pointed to by buf. If successful, a plain text scoped PDU is stored in the buffer.

The function snmp_pdu_init_secparams() calculates the initialization vector for the privacy protocol in use before the PDU pointed to by pdu may be encrypted or decrypted.

The function snmp_pdu_dump() dumps the PDU in a human readable form by calling snmp_printf().

The function snmp_passwd_to_keys() calculates a binary private authentication key corresponding to a plain text human readable password string. The calculated key is placed in the auth_key field of the user.

The function snmp_get_local_keys() calculates a localazied authentication and privacy keys for a specified SNMPv3 engine. The calculateds keys are placed in the auth_key and priv_key fields of the user.

The function snmp_calc_keychange() calculates a binary key change octet string based on the contents of an old and a new binary localized key. The rezult is placed in the buffer pointer to by keychange and may be used by an SNMPv3 user who wishes to change his/her password or localized key.

The function TRUTH_MK() takes a C truth value (zero or non-zero) and makes an SNMP truth value (2 or 1). The function TRUTH_GET() takes an SNMP truth value and makes a C truth value (0 or 1). The function TRUTH_OK() checks, whether its argument is a legal SNMP truth value.

extern void (*snmp_error)(const char *, ...);

with a printf(3) style format string. There is a default error handler in the library that prints a message starting with 'SNMP:' followed by the error message to standard error.

The function pointed to by

extern void (*snmp_printf)(const char *, ...);

is called by the snmp_pdu_dump() function. The default handler is printf(3).
