NAME¶
smidiff - check differences between a pair of SMI or SPPI modules
SYNOPSIS¶
smidiff [
-Vhsm ] [
-c file ] [
-l
level ] [
-i error-pattern ] [
-p
module ]
oldmodule newmodule
DESCRIPTION¶
The
smidiff program is used to check differences between a pair of SMI
MIB modules or SPPI PIB modules. E.g., it can be used to detect changes in
updated MIB modules that can cause interoperability problems with existing
implementations. SMIv1/v2 and SPPI style MIB/PIB modules are supported.
Note that conformance statements are currently not checked.
Messages describing the differences are written to the standard output channel
while error and warning messages generated by the parser are written to the
standard error channel.
OPTIONS¶
- -V, --version
- Show the smidump version and exit.
- -h, --help
- Show a help text and exit.
- -s, --severity
- Show the error severity in brackets before error messages.
- -m, --error-names
- Show the error names in braces before error messages.
- -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.
- -i prefix, --ignore=prefix
- Ignore all errors that have a tag which matches prefix.
- oldmodule
- The original module.
- newmodule
- The updated module.
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.
