SNMP_LM75(3)

📦 version 15.1, in freebsd 14.5, freebsd 15.1

💅 SNMP_LM75(3) — like, the whole manual page, bestie

okay so first things first: this is from the Library Functions Manual, and the page is literally called SNMP_LM75(3). That's the vibe. Let's go 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

snmp_lm75 — it's the LM75 Sensor module for bsnmpd(1). that's it, that's the name. short, sweet, iconic 👑

🎀 LIBRARY 🎀

like, here's where it lives:

(begemotSnmpdModulePath."lm75" = /usr/lib/snmp_lm75.so)

that's the whole library section, no cap. copy it exactly, don't @ me 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so the snmp_lm75 module implements a private MIB called BEGEMOT-LM75-MIB — private as in it's our MIB, not some rand stranger's — and what it does is let you read the temperature of the LM75 sensors that are chillin' on your system. 🌡️✨

and how does it read them? the module grabs the sensor('s) temperature using the sysctl(8) API. that's the whole mechanism, fr fr. no weird hacks, just sysctl(8) doing its thing 🔥

🦋 FILES 🦋

  • /usr/share/snmp/defs/lm75_tree.def — this is the description of the MIB tree that snmp_lm75 implements. like the blueprint of the whole tree 🌳
  • /usr/share/snmp/mibs/BEGEMOT-LM75-MIB.txt — and this one is the actual private BEGEMOT-LM75-MIB that this module implements. the real deal 💖
