NAME

smixlate - translate SMI/SPPI identifiers

smixlate [ -Vhm ] [ -c file ] [ -p module ] [ -l level ] module(s)

The smixlate program is used to translate identifiers and especially OIDs into a more human readable format.

-V, --version: Show the smixlate version and exit.
-h, --help: Show a help text and exit.
-r, --recursive: Report errors and warnings also for recursively imported modules.
-c file, --config=file: Read file instead of any other (global and user) configuration file.
-p module, --preload=module: Preload the module module before reading the main module(s). This may be helpful if an incomplete main module misses to import some definitions.
-l level, --level=level: Report errors and warnings up to the given severity level. See the smilint(1) manual page for a description of the error levels. The default error level is 3.
-a, --all: Replace all OIDs including OID prefixes. Without this option, smixlate will only translate OIDs with a corresponding notification, scalar, column, row, or table definition.
-f, --format: Preserve the input format as much as possible by inserting/removing white space characters.
module(s): These are the modules to be loaded for the subsequent translation. If a module argument represents a path name (identified by containing at least one dot or slash character), this is assumed to be the exact file to read. Otherwise, if a module is identified by its plain module name, it is searched according to libsmi internal rules. See smi_config(3) for more details.

This example translates numeric OIDs in the input text into a more human readable format.
