long atime_diff	(	marker_t	first,
		marker_t	second
	)

Returns the difference (in msec) between the two markers.

Definition at line 795 of file tools.c.

marker_t atime_newMarker ( void )

create a new time marker.

NOTE: Caller must free time marker when no longer needed.

int atime_ready	(	marker_t	pm,
		int	deltaT
	)

Test: Has (marked time plus delta) exceeded current time (in msec) ? Returns 0 if test fails or cannot be tested (no marker).

u_int binary_to_hex	(	const u_char *	input,
		size_t	len,
		char **	output
	)

converts binary to hexidecimal

Parameters:

	*input	Binary data.
	len	Length of binary data.
	**output	NULL terminated string equivalent in hex.

Returns:: olen Length of output string not including NULL terminator.

FIX Is there already one of these in the UCD SNMP codebase? The old one should be used, or this one should be moved to snmplib/snmp_api.c.

Definition at line 287 of file tools.c.

void free_zero	(	void *	buf,
		size_t	size
	)

zeros memory before freeing it.

Parameters:

	*buf	Pointer at bytes to free.
	size	Number of bytes in buf.

Definition at line 185 of file tools.c.

int hex_to_binary2	(	const u_char *	input,
		size_t	len,
		char **	output
	)

hex_to_binary2

Parameters:

	*input	Printable data in base16.
	len	Length in bytes of data.
	**output	Binary data equivalent to input.

Returns:: SNMPERR_GENERR on failure, otherwise length of allocated string.

Input of an odd length is right aligned.

FIX Another version of "hex-to-binary" which takes odd length input strings. It also allocates the memory to hold the binary data. Should be integrated with the official hex_to_binary() function.

Definition at line 324 of file tools.c.

u_char* malloc_random ( size_t * size )

Returns pointer to allocaed & set buffer on success, size contains number of random bytes filled.

buf is NULL and *size set to KMT error value upon failure.

Parameters:

size

Number of bytes to malloc() and fill with random bytes.

Returns:: a malloced buffer

Definition at line 205 of file tools.c.

int marker_tticks ( marker_t pm )

Definition at line 898 of file tools.c.

int memdup	(	u_char **	to,
		const void *	from,
		size_t	size
	)

Duplicates a memory block.

Copies a existing memory location from a pointer to another, newly malloced, pointer.

Parameters:

	to	Pointer to allocate and copy memory to.
	from	Pointer to copy memory from.
	size	Size of the data to be copied.

Returns:: SNMPERR_SUCCESS on success, SNMPERR_GENERR on failure.

Definition at line 236 of file tools.c.

char* netsnmp_getenv ( const char * name )

Non Windows: Returns a pointer to the desired environment variable or NULL if the environment variable does not exist.

Windows: Returns a pointer to the desired environment variable if it exists. If it does not, the variable is looked up in the registry in HKCU\Net-SNMP or HKLM\Net-SNMP (whichever it finds first) and stores the result in the environment variable. It then returns a pointer to environment variable.

Definition at line 926 of file tools.c.

int netsnmp_hex_to_binary	(	u_char **	buf,
		size_t *	buf_len,
		size_t *	offset,
		int	allow_realloc,
		const char *	hex,
		const char *	delim
	)

convert an ASCII hex string (with specified delimiters) to binary

Parameters:

	buf	address of a pointer (pointer to pointer) for the output buffer. If allow_realloc is set, the buffer may be grown via snmp_realloc to accomodate the data.
	buf_len	pointer to a size_t containing the initial size of buf.
	offset	On input, a pointer to a size_t indicating an offset into buf. The binary data will be stored at this offset. On output, this pointer will have updated the offset to be the first byte after the converted data.
	allow_realloc	If true, the buffer can be reallocated. If false, and the buffer is not large enough to contain the string, an error will be returned.
	hex	pointer to hex string to be converted. May be prefixed by "0x" or "0X".
	delim	point to a string of allowed delimiters between bytes. If not specified, any non-hex characters will be an error.

Return values:

	1	success
	0	error

Definition at line 425 of file tools.c.

char* netsnmp_strdup_and_null	(	const u_char *	from,
		size_t	from_len
	)

copies a (possible) unterminated string of a given length into a new buffer and null terminates it as well (new buffer MAY be one byte longer to account for this

Definition at line 255 of file tools.c.

int snmp_hex_to_binary	(	u_char **	buf,
		size_t *	buf_len,
		size_t *	offset,
		int	allow_realloc,
		const char *	hex
	)

convert an ASCII hex string to binary

Note:: This is a wrapper which calls netsnmp_hex_to_binary with a delimiter string of " ".

See netsnmp_hex_to_binary for parameter descriptions.

Return values:

	1	success
	0	error

Definition at line 485 of file tools.c.

int snmp_realloc	(	u_char **	buf,
		size_t *	buf_len
	)

This function increase the size of the buffer pointed at by *buf, which is initially of size *buf_len.

Contents are preserved **AT THE BOTTOM END OF THE BUFFER**. If memory can be (re-)allocated then it returns 1, else it returns 0.

Parameters:

	buf	pointer to a buffer pointer
	buf_len	pointer to current size of buffer in bytes

Note:: The current re-allocation algorithm is to increase the buffer size by whichever is the greater of 256 bytes or the current buffer size, up to a maximum increase of 8192 bytes.

Definition at line 121 of file tools.c.

u_long uatime_diff	(	marker_t	first,
		marker_t	second
	)

Returns the difference (in u_long msec) between the two markers.

Definition at line 812 of file tools.c.

u_long uatime_hdiff	(	marker_t	first,
		marker_t	second
	)

Returns the difference (in u_long 1/100th secs) between the two markers (functionally this is what sysUpTime needs).

Definition at line 830 of file tools.c.

int uatime_ready	(	marker_t	pm,
		unsigned int	deltaT
	)

Test: Has (marked time plus delta) exceeded current time (in msec) ? Returns 0 if test fails or cannot be tested (no marker).
