NAME

       mosy - The managed object syntax compiler.

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/mosy [-d] [-i] [-o output_file] [-s] [-1] input_file

OPTIONS

       Specifies  no  duplicate entries in the output file.  By default, if duplicate entries exist in the input file, they will also exist in the
       output file.  Specifies that errors are ignored. This option causes the mosy program to create an output file even if it encounters errors.
       The  default behavior is that the mosy program generates no output file when errors are encountered.  Specifies the file to create for mosy
       output.	If not specified, the output file is derived from the input file name by replacing the suffix with or appending input_file is  not
       specified (or is specified as a hyphen (-) for standard input), output goes to standard output.

	      You  can	also  use  a  hyphen (-) to specify the output file name, which means output to standard out.  Indicates silent mode which
	      turns off the default behavior of printing out objects names, type names, and identifiers.  Specifies that  the  mosy  program  will
	      perform only the first validation pass when compiling. The mosy program prints the input_file contents as it parses, which is useful
	      when debugging syntax errors.

OPERANDS

       Specifies a text file in MIB format describing a set of managed objects.  If you do not specify an input_file or specify a hyphen (-),  the
       program accepts input from standard input.

DESCRIPTION

       The  mosy  program reads a description of an SNMP-managed objects module (extracted from a MIB) and produces a simple ASCII file containing
       equivalent definitions.	The output file is used by various management applications.  In particular, mosy output files are used as input to
       the snmpi program when developing extensible SNMP subagents for Tru64 UNIX.

       The  input_file is typically obtained by cleaning up an RFC file that defines a MIB.  (You can use the /usr/examples/esnmp/mib_converter.sh
       script to perform this task.)

       For a complete description of using mosy and developing subagents refer to the Network Programmer's Guide.

EXAMPLES

       Compile the file chess.my with the output going to the file chess.defs.	# mosy chess Clean up the MIB defined in RFC1514.txt  and  compile
       it,  placing  the  output  in  file  fred.objects  #  /usr/examples/esnmp/mib-converter.sh  <  rfc1514.txt > rfc1514.my # /usr/sbin/mosy -o
       fred.objects rfc1514.my

	      You must copy the /usr/examples/esnmp/mib-converter.sh program to another directory and make it executable in order to perform  this
	      operation.
