eSNMP API Routines
cmp_oct
cmp_oct
Compares two octet strings.
Format
int cmp_oct ( oct *oct1,
oct *oct2 );
Arguments
oct1
Pointer to the first octet string.
oct2
Pointer to the second octet string.
Description
The two octet strings are compared byte-by-byte to determine the length of the
shortest octet string. If all bytes are equal, the lengths are compared. An octet
with a null pointer is considered the same as a zero-length octet.
Return Values
-1 The string pointed to by the first oct is less than
the second.
0 The string pointed to by the first oct is equal to
the second.
1 The string pointed to by the first oct is greater
than the second.
Example
#include
OCT abc, efg;
...abc and efg are initialized to something...
if (cmp_oct(&abc, &efg) > 0)
DPRINTF((WARNING,"octet abc is larger than efg...\n"));
