GSPL-GETSNMP(1)
NAME
gspl-getsnmp - fetch SNMP value from printer
SYNOPSIS
gspl-getsnmp [ -options ] variable
DESCRIPTION
gspl-getsnmp obtains the value of an SNMP field from a network-enabled
printer and displays it on standard output.
It is mostly intended to probe for the type and options on printers
during installation.
OPTIONS
- -h hostname
- specifies the host name or IP address of the printer. This option
must always be given. - -H hostname
- specifies the host name or IP address of the sending system in
cases where this has to be given. - -p portnum
- specifies the port number or service name to be used. If this is
not specified, snmp is used. - -C community
- specifies the community name to be used if not public.
- -T sec
- specifies the timeout waiting for responses, if not 1.0. This may
be a floating-point number to specify fractions of a second. - -f configname
- specifies the configuration file from which names of macros for
parts of variable names can be obtained. (The corresponding file
for xtlhp(8) can be used). - -I causes the variable name to be prefixed to the result with an
- equals sign.
- -N if the variable name cannot be found, finds the next variable in
- lower leaves of the tree which can be found.
- -d n
- where n is 0 to 4, specifies increasing amounts of debugging
information. 4 will display the parsed SNMP packets.
NOTES
This is mainly intended for getting information about printers.
