DESCRIPTION
       The  SNMP mini-client is a quick way to send a few requests to a remote
       SNMP agent.  The client takes care of memory allocation /  deallocation
       for  all	 returned data.	 The only thing the user must deal with is the
       specification of what OIDs to fetch.

       init_mini_snmp_client() initializes the mini-client.  The Size argument
       must  be greater than the max number of items you will fetch during one
       snmp_mini_client_get() call.  This initializes the return array to  the
       appropriate size.

       close_mini_snmp_client() Cleans up any memory still in use by the mini-
       client.	Once called, any data that was	ever  returned	by  the	 mini-
       client, if not copied, is invalid.

       snmp_mini_response_len() allows one to fetch the length of the returned
       data.  Index is the index into the returned array of responses.

       snmp_mini_open() and snmp_mini_close() allow the user to open and close
       a  connection  to  a host.  While all of the mini-client functions will
       also do this, by opening the connection	first  with  snmp_mini_open(),
       the  connection	may  be	 on an alternate port.	Opening the connection
       once and using it over and over again will also save  the  overhead  of
       establishing the connection again and again.

       snmp_mini_set_int()  and	 snmp_mini_set_str()  will  send  an  SNMP SET
       request to the host specified by Host, using  community	string	Commu‐
       nity,  setting  the OID Query of length QueryLen to Value.  MiniSession
       may be used instead of Host and	Community.   MiniSession  is  what  is
       returned by snmp_mini_open().

       snmp_mini_get()	sends NumQueries SNMP GET requests to Host with commu‐
       nity string Community( or uses session MiniSession).  The OIDs to fetch
       are  in	the  array  Queries,  and  the	OID  lengths  are in the array
       QueryLens.  If successful, the  returned	 array	contains  all  of  the
       responses.  Returned array index X is the response to Query array index
       X.

       snmp_mini_getnext() sends an SNMP GETNEXT request to Host  with	commu‐
       nity  string  Community( or uses session MiniSession).  The next OID is
       placed in ResponseOID and it's length is returned.  The data pertaining
       to that oid is pointed to by ResponseData.

ERRORS
       If any of these return unsuccessfully, snmp_api_error() will be set.

NOTES
       The set commands have not been tested extensively.
