💅 smistrip(1) — SMI Tools 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the smistrip page — this is the SMI Tools era, and we’re getting MIB/PIB modules out of text files. iconic behavior only. 🎀

💖 NAME 💖

smistrip — extract MIB or PIB modules from text files, like RFCs or I-Ds.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

smistrip [ -Vhn ] [ -d dir ] [ -m module ] [ file(s) ]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so smistrip is the program that extracts MIB and PIB module files from ASCII documents like RFCs or Internet Drafts. Modules are identified by a starting ASN.1 DEFINITIONS clause and the matching END clause. The output is written to files named by the modules’ names. periodt. 💅

🌸 OPTIONS 🌸

  • -V — Show the smistrip version and exit.
  • -h — Show a help text and exit.
  • -n — Print only what would be extracted, but do not write any output file.
  • -d dir — Write module file(s) to directory dir instead of the current working directory.
  • -m module — Extract only the module module instead of all modules found in the input file(s).
  • file(s) — The input text file(s) from which modules will be extracted. If no file is given, input is read from stdin.
ngl, smistrip tries to be smart about locating module start and end, detecting page breaks and blank lines near page breaks. It also tries to cut off blank prefixing columns from all lines of a module. But some documents just cannot be parsed correctly by smistrip and probably produce incorrect output. You might consider using smilint on every extracted module file to check its syntactical correctness. fr fr. 😭

🌈 EXAMPLE 🌈

This example extracts only the module IPV6-MIB from the file rfc2465 and writes it to the directory /usr/local/tmp. slay.

$ smistrip -d /usr/local/tmp -m IPV6-MIB rfc2465
