I hate the net-snmp library

[Jeff Bailey]

I hate the net-snmp library.  Bad examples and non-existant documentation.

And it's *ugly* too.

As an example:

http://net-snmp.sourceforge.net/tutorial/toolkit/demoapp/index.html

I'm thinking of a nice starting set of wrappers:

try {
snmp_connection foo = new snmpv1_connection("server", "community");
} catch { // Various can't connect errors;
}

// This is a blocking request, presumably with a timeout.  Could do a
// similar non-blocking too.

pdu *pdu = foo.get(".1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0");


I'm not sure yet how to handle an snmpwalk type of sequence, but I
think I'd like it to be something like it either returning a list<pdu
*>, or something.  Suggestions?
