eSNMP API Routines
mem2oct
mem2oct
Converts a string (a buffer and length) to an oct structure with the new buffer’s
address and length.
Format
oct *mem2oct ( oct *new,
char *buffer,
int *len );
Arguments
new
A pointer to the oct structure receiving the data.
buffer
Pointer to the buffer to be converted.
len
Length of buffer to be converted.
Description
The mem2oct routine dynamically allocates the buffer and inserts its pointer into
the oct structure. The caller must explicitly free this buffer.
This routine does not allocate an oct structure and does not free data previously
pointed to in the oct structure before making the assignment.
Return Values
Null An error occurred. Otherwise, the pointer to the
oct structure (the first argument) is returned.
Example
#include
char buffer;
int len;
OCT abc;
...buffer and len are initialized to something...
memset(&abc, 0, sizeof(OCT));
if (mem2oct(&abc, buffer, len) == NULL)
DPRINTF((WARNING,"It did not work...\n"));
