mibcomp is designed for use with WindNet SNMPv1/v2c, Wind River Systems' portable SNMP engine. The WindNet SNMPv1/v2c agent interfaces to the MIB variables through a tree structure which is defined in a C source file, for example snmpMib2.c. WindNet SNMPv1/v2c saves development time by creating this C file for you from ASN.1 MIB descriptions.

mibcomp is a useful tool for creating SNMP agent software. It can save time while implementing a MIB by automatically generating C-code stubs to interface the SNMP agent with managed variables.

mibcomp generates C code that is useful only with WindNet SNMPv1/v2c. It is not intended for use with other SNMP implementations.
