smiquery − query single information from SMI MIB modules |
smiquery [ -Vh ] [ -pmodule ] command name |
The smiquery program is used to query information on a single item from an MIB module, e.g. module meta information or a single type definition. |
-V, --version |
Show the smiquery version and exit. |
-h, --help |
Show a help text and exit. The help text lists all available commands. |
-pmodule, --preloadmodule |
Preload the module module before reading the main module. This may be helpful if an incomplete main module misses to import some definitions. |
command name |
This specifies the kind of information to retrieve (module, imports, revisions, node, parent, compliance, index, members, children, type, or macro) and the item to retrieve. |
The module in question is searched along a path, which is initialized by the SMIPATH environment variable or by /usr/local/share/mibs if SMIPATH is not set. Files with a .sming extension are expected to be (old-style!) SMIng module files. Files with a .my or without any extension are expected to be SMIv1/v2 module files. |

This example queries for information on the node ifNumber defined in the module IF-MIB.
