NAME¶
smistrip - extract MIB or PIB modules from text files, like RFCs or I-Ds
SYNOPSIS¶
smistrip [
-Vhn ] [
-d dir ] [
-m
module ] [
file(s) ]
DESCRIPTION¶
The
smistrip program is used to extract MIB and PIB module files from
ASCII documents like RFCs or Internet Drafts. Modules are identified by a
starting ASN.1 DEFINITIONS clause and the matching END clause. The output is
written to files named by the modules' names.
OPTIONS¶
- -V
- Show the smistrip version and exit.
- -h
- Show a help text and exit.
- -n
- Print only what would be extracted, but do not write any output file.
- -d dir
- Write module file(s) to directory dir instead of the current
working directory.
- -m module
- Extract only the module module instead of all modules found in the
input file(s).
- file(s)
- The input text file(s) from which modules will be extracted. If no file is
given, input is read from stdin.
Note that
smistrip tries to be smart about locating module start and end,
detecting page breaks and blank lines near page breaks. It also tries to cut
off blank prefixing columns from all lines of a modules. However, there might
by documents that cannot be parsed correctly by
smistrip and probably
produce incorrect output. You might consider to use
smilint on every
extracted module file to check its syntactical correctness.
EXAMPLE¶
This example extracts only the module IPV6-MIB from the file rfc2465 and writes
it to the directory /usr/local/tmp.
$ smistrip -d /usr/local/tmp -m IPV6-MIB rfc2465
