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:

Oid myCompany("1.3.6.1.4.1.355");

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

Oid myObject(myCompany, "1.1.3.0");

In addition, some common Oid's are provided as constants, e.g. 'enterprises_oid', so the following will also work:

Oid yourCompany(enterprises_oid, 42); // 42 is an integer
Oid yourCompanyMib(enterprises_oid, "42.1.1"); // "42.1.1" 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 QVector<quint32>, which means that an Oid object can be manipulated the same way as a QVector<> can be manipulated:

Oid theirCompany = enterprises_oid;
theirCompany.append(23); // Don't use a string here!

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Oid::Oid ( std::string  id = "")

Initialize an Oid object with an OID in string format.

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

Parameters
idThe initial object identifier.
Exceptions
inval_paramIf the string is malformed.
Oid::Oid ( const Oid o,
std::string  id 
)

Initialize an Oid object with another Oid plus a subid.

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
oThe starting OID.
idThe OID to append.
Exceptions
inval_paramIf the string is malformed.
Oid::Oid ( const Oid o,
quint32  id 
)

Initialize an Oid object with another Oid plus a subid.

All subid's are copied from 'o'. Then, the subid 'id' is appended.

Parameters
oThe starting OID.
idThe subid to append.
Exceptions
None.

Member Function Documentation

bool Oid::contains ( const Oid id) const

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

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

Examples:

Oid id("1.3.6.1.4.1.42.3");
id.contains( Oid("1.3.6.1.4.1.42.3") ); // true
id.contains( Oid("1.3.6.1.4.1.42") ); // false
id.contains( Oid("1.3.6.1.4.1.43.3") ); // false
id.contains( Oid("1.3.6.1.4.1.42.3.3.1") ); // true
Parameters
idThe OID to check.
Returns
True if id is contained in the subtree, false otherwise.
bool agentxcpp::Oid::operator!= ( const Oid o) const
inline

The not-equal-operator for OIDs.

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

Parameters
oThe OID to compare to.
Returns
False if the OIDs are equal, true otherwise.
Oid agentxcpp::Oid::operator+ ( quint32  subid) const
inline

Concatenation.

This operator returns a temporary Oid object which is this OID plus 'subid' appended. Example:

Oid a("1.2.3");
Oid b = a + 4; // b will be 1.2.3.4
Parameters
subidThe subid to append.
Returns
The temporary object.
Oid agentxcpp::Oid::operator+ ( const Oid o) const
inline

Concatenation.

This operator returns a temporary Oid object which is this OID plus 'o' appended. Example:

Oid a("1.2.3");
Oid b("4.5.6");
Oid c = a + b; // c will be 1.2.3.4.5.6
Parameters
oThe OID to append.
Returns
The temporary object.
Oid& agentxcpp::Oid::operator+= ( const Oid o)
inline

Concatenation.

This operator appends 'o' to this OID. Example:

Oid a("1.2.3");
Oid b("4.5.6");
a += b;
// a is now 1.2.3.4.5.6
Parameters
oThe OID to append.
Returns
A reference to this OID.
bool Oid::operator< ( const Oid 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
oThe OID to compare to.
Returns
True if the OID is less than 'o', false otherwise.
bool agentxcpp::Oid::operator<= ( const Oid o) const
inline

The less-than-or-equal operator.

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

Parameters
oThe OID to compare to.
Returns
True if the OID is less than or equal 'o', false otherwise.
Oid & Oid::operator= ( const Oid o)

Assignment operator.

Copies all data from 'o' into this OID.

Parameters
oThe OID to copy from.
Returns
A reference to this OID.
bool Oid::operator== ( const Oid o) const

The equal-operator.

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

Parameters
oThe OID to compare to.
Returns
True if the OIDs are equal, false otherwise.
bool agentxcpp::Oid::operator> ( const Oid o) const
inline

The greater-than operator.

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

Parameters
oThe OID to compare to.
Returns
True if the OID is greater than 'o', false otherwise.
bool agentxcpp::Oid::operator>= ( const Oid o) const
inline

The greater-than-or-equal operator.

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

Parameters
oThe OID to compare to.
Returns
True if the OID is greater than or equal 'o', false otherwise.

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

oThe OID to output.
Returns
The 'out' parameter.
