🌸 NAME 🌸

mib2c-update — script to merge custom code into updated mib2c code 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

mib2c-update

that's it. that's the whole vibe. no flags, no args, just run her. 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea. use mib2c-update to generate your mib2c code templates, and she will track the original code AND the changes you make to the code. she's keeping receipts on both, periodt.

so when the mib2c template changes — think bug fixes, enhancements in later releases — re-running mib2c will update the template and then attempt to re-apply your changes. like she's literally doing the merge for you. 💖

this can be extremely useful when you're developing your own mib2c templates. main character energy fr fr.

when you first run mib2c-update, she will create several hidden directories and a .mib2c-updaterc file. 🎀

⚠️ bestie you must edit the .mib2c-udpaterc file to specify two values. yes, we're spelling it exactly like that. she said what she said. 😭

those two values, bestie:

1. UPDATE_OID — the table name to specify when running mib2c. 👑
2. UPDATE_CONF — the mib2c configuration file to specify when running mib2c. 🍓

and if you want more? additional mib2c options can be specified in UPDATE_MIB2C_OPTS. she's flexible like that. 🌈

💀 BUGS 💀

ngl, mib2c-update has only been tested on individual tables. specifying a scalar or an entire MIB might not work. 🙈

so like… vibe check your use case first, bestie. don't come for her when she said it upfront. 💜
