Detailed Description

Represents an SNMP object identifier (OID).

This class represents an OID. OID's are sequences of sub-identifiers, which are integers.

This class provides constructors taking a string which contains an OID. For example, this works:

OidValue myCompany = OidValue("1.3.6.1.4.1.355");

Also a constructor is provided which takes an OidValue and a string and concatenates them, so this works also:

OidValue myObject = OidValue(myCompany, "1.1.3.0");

In addition, some common OidValue's are provided as constants, e.g. 'enterprises_oid', so the following will also work (note that the second argument is a string, not an integer!):

OidValue yourCompany = OidValue(enterprises_oid, "42"); // second param is a string!

The string given to the constructors must have a valid syntax. If a malformed string is provided, inval_param is thrown and the object is not constructed. For example, the following strings are malformed:

"1,3,6"  // wrong separator (must be a period)
"1.3.6." // trailing character at the end
"1.3.6.1.4.1.123456789123" // last subid is too big (must fit in a 32 bit unsigned integer)

However, the following strings are accepted:

"1.3.6"
"1"  // a single subid is ok
"1.3.6.1.4.1.42.1.0" // 0 as subid is ok
""   // empty string is ok

This class inherits from std:vector<uint32_t>, which means that an OidValue object can be manipulated the same way as a std::vector<> can be manipulated:

OidValue theirCompany = enterprises_oid;

theirCompany.push_back(23); // Don't use a string here!

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

agentxcpp::OidValue::OidValue ( )

inline

Default Constructor.

This constructs an empty OidValue (the null OidValue).

Exceptions

None.

OidValue::OidValue ( std::string id )

Initialize an OidValue object with an OID in string format.

This constructor takes a string and initializes the OidValue object with the OID contained within this string. The format of the string is described above.

Parameters

id	The initial object identifier.

Exceptions

inval_param If the string is malformed.

OidValue::OidValue	(	const OidValue &	o,
		std::string	id
	)

Initialize an OidValue object with another OidValue plus an OID in string format.

All subid's are copied from 'o'. Then, the OID contained within the string 'id' is appended. The format of the string is described in the documentation of this class.

Parameters

o	The starting OID.
id	The OID to append.

Exceptions

inval_param If the string is malformed.

Member Function Documentation

bool OidValue::contains ( const OidValue & id )

Checks whether the given OidValue is in the subtree of this OidValue.

This method checks whether the given OID is included in the subtree which has this OidValue as root.

Examples:

OidValue id("1.3.6.1.4.1.42.3");
id.contains( OidValue(1.3.6.1.4.1.42.3) ); // true
id.contains( OidValue(1.3.6.1.4.1.42) ); // false
id.contains( OidValue(1.3.6.1.4.1.43.3) ); // false
id.contains( OidValue(1.3.6.1.4.1.42.3.3.1) ); // true

Parameters

id	The OID to check.

Returns: True if id is contained in the subtree, false otherwise.

bool agentxcpp::OidValue::operator!= ( const OidValue & o ) const

inline

The not-equal-operator for OidValues.

See operator<() for a more detailed description about comparing OIDs.

Parameters

o	The OID tocompare to.

Returns: False if the OIDs are equal, true otherwise.

bool OidValue::operator< ( const OidValue & o ) const

The less-than operator.

An OID is less than another OID if either the first not-identical part is lesser or if all parts are identical and it has lesser parts.

Example:
1.3.6.1.4.1.42.3.3.1
is less than
1.3.6.1.4.1.42.3.4.1
Note the next to last number.

Also,
1.3.6.1.4.1.42.3.3.1
is less than
1.3.6.1.4.1.42.3.3.1.1
because it is shorter.

However,
1.3.6.1.4.1.42.3.3.1
is greater than
1.3.6.1.4.1.42.3.2.1.1
because the 9th number is greater (although the first OID has less numbers than the second).

Parameters

o	The OID tocompare to.

Returns: True if the OID is less than 'o', false otherwise.

OidValue & OidValue::operator= ( const OidValue & o )

Assignment operator.

Copies all data from 'o' into this OID.

Parameters

o	The OID to copy from.

Returns: A reference to this OID.

bool OidValue::operator== ( const OidValue & o ) const

The equal-operator.

See operator<() for a more detailed description about comparing OIDs.

Parameters

o	The OID tocompare to.

Returns: True if the OIDs are equal, false otherwise.

bool agentxcpp::OidValue::operator> ( const OidValue & o ) const

inline

The greater-than operator.

See operator<() for a more detailed description about comparing OIDs.

Parameters

o	The OID tocompare to.

Returns: True if the OID is greater than 'o', false otherwise.

std::ostream& operator<<	(	std::ostream &	out,
		const agentxcpp::OidValue &	o
	)

friend

The output operator for the OidValue class.

Object identifiers (OidValue objects) can be output as follows:

OidValue led_state(enterprises_oid, "1.3.3.1");

cout << "LED state OID: " << led_state << endl;

The last line will output "LED state OID: .1.3.6.1.4.1.3.3.1".

Parameters

out	The stream to which to write the output.
o	The OID to output.

Returns: The 'out' parameter.
