NAME

       smixlate - translate SMI/SPPI identifiers

SYNOPSIS

       smixlate [ -Vhm ] [ -c file ] [ -p module ] [ -l level ] module(s)

DESCRIPTION

       The smixlate program is used to translate identifiers and especially OIDs into a more human readable format.

OPTIONS

       -V, --version
	      Show the smixlate version and exit.

       -h, --help
	      Show a help text and exit.

       -r, --recursive
	      Report errors and warnings also for recursively imported modules.

       -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.

       -a, --all
	      Replace  all  OIDs including OID prefixes. Without this option, smixlate will only translate OIDs with a corresponding notification,
	      scalar, column, row, or table definition.

       -f, --format
	      Preserve the input format as much as possible by inserting/removing white space characters.

       module(s)
	      These are the modules to be loaded for the subsequent translation. If a module argument represents a path name (identified  by  con-
	      taining  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.

EXAMPLE

       This example translates numeric OIDs in the input text into a more human readable format.

	 $ echo "what is this oid? 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.3" |
	   ./smixlate -l 0 /usr/local/share/mibs/ietf/*
	 what is this oid? ifType
	 $
