Subject: Direct use of the tnm library from c/c++
I am using the tnm library (mainly for tnm mib use) in a multi threaded
solaris environment.
Question 1
--------------
Can anyone tell me if the library is meant to be thread safe?
If not I assume the reasons for this are because of the global variables
used which hold status while a mib query is in progress.
Anybody have any experience of modifying this library?
Question 2
--------------
It seems that you can load a single mib tree only. The root is held by the
variable 'tnm_MibTree' in the module tnmMibQuery.c.
So if I want to load several MIBs (for differing network elements) or I
want to load differing versions of the same MIB (say during upgrade of
certain network elements) then I cannot do this unless I feed the root of
each mib tree in and out of the library as required somehow.
Is this root ptr the only variable I need to consider to make this
multi-version-mib loadable?
Regards
