NAME
       old_api - Calls mib module code written in the old style of code.



   Functions
       netsnmp_mib_handler * get_old_api_handler (void)
           returns a old_api handler that should be the final calling handler.
       int netsnmp_register_old_api (const char *moduleName, struct variable *var, size_t varsize, size_t
           numvars, oid *mibloc, size_t mibloclen, int priority, int range_subid, oid range_ubound,
           netsnmp_session *ss, const char *context, int timeout, int flags)
           Registers an old API set into the mib tree.
       int netsnmp_register_mib_table_row (const char *moduleName, struct variable *var, size_t varsize,
           size_t numvars, oid *mibloc, size_t mibloclen, int priority, int var_subid, netsnmp_session *ss,
           const char *context, int timeout, int flags)
           registers a row within a mib table
       int netsnmp_old_api_helper (netsnmp_mib_handler *handler, netsnmp_handler_registration *reginfo,
           netsnmp_agent_request_info *reqinfo, netsnmp_request_info *requests)
           implements the old_api handler

Detailed Description
       Calls mib module code written in the old style of code.

       This is a backwards compatilibity module that allows code written in the old API to be run under the
       new handler based architecture. Use it by calling netsnmp_register_old_api().

Function Documentation
   netsnmp_mib_handler* get_old_api_handler (void)
       returns a old_api handler that should be the final calling handler.

       Don't use this function. Use the netsnmp_register_old_api() function instead.

       Registers an old API set into the mib tree.

       Functionally this mimics the old register_mib_context() function (and in fact the new
       register_mib_context() function merely calls this new old_api one).
