282.0. "esnmp callback function doesn't work." by NETRIX::"AustinK@mail.dec.com" (Keith Austin) Thu Feb 27 1997 19:02

I can't seem to get the esnmp API callback function to work.  The callback
function does get invoked; however, referencing the parameters that were
passed
to it (int level and char* msg) seems wrong.  The code and output is below.

I'm compiling on a DU V3.2G AS 8200.

TIA!

esnmptrap.c
===========
/* cc -o esnmptrap esnmptrap.c -lesnmp */

#include <esnmp.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/types.h>

void log_handler ( int level, char *msg );

int main(void)
{

int status = 0;
int rc = ESNMP_LIB_NOTOK;
int esnmp_subsocket = 0;
char conn_name[15];

        set_debug_level ( ERROR | WARNING | EXTERN_LOG,
                                   (LOG_CALLBACK_ROUTINE) log_handler ) ;

        sprintf(conn_name,"pid_%d",(int)getpid());

        status = esnmp_init(&esnmp_subsocket, conn_name);
        rc = esnmp_poll();

        ESNMP_LOG( WARNING, ("KEA"));
        esnmp_term();
        exit(0);
}

void log_handler ( int level, char* msg ) 
{
         printf("Level: ***%d***  Msg: ***%s***\n\n", level, msg);
         printf("Level: ***%d***  Msg: ***%s***\n", level, msg-25);
}

Actual Output
=============
Level: ***536865600***  Msg: ***EAdata***

Level: ***536865600***  Msg: ****EAdata***

.c line 26: KEAdata***

Expected Output
===============
Level: ***4096*** Msg: ***KEA***

Level: ***4096*** Msg: ***Some-String***

From esnmp.h:

/* structure passed to the external log callback routine */
typedef struct _log_callback {
        int log_level;       /* TRACE, WARNING, ERROR */
        char *text;          /* pointer to buffer containing text of message */
        /* Note: Additional fields may be added in the future */
} LOG_CALLBACK;

typedef void(*LOG_CALLBACK_ROUTINE)(LOG_CALLBACK *);

So your routine is passed the address of LOG_CALLBACK.
