NAME

cache_handler: Maintains a cache of data for use by lower level handlers. - This helper checks to see whether the data has been loaded 'recently' (according to the timeout for that particular cache) and calls the registered 'load_cache' routine if necessary.

Functions

netsnmp_mib_handler * netsnmp_get_cache_handler (int timeout, NetsnmpCacheLoad *load_hook, NetsnmpCacheFree *free_hook, oid *rootoid, int rootoid_len)
returns a cache handler that can be injected into a given handler chain.
int netsnmp_register_cache_handler (netsnmp_handler_registration *reginfo, int timeout, NetsnmpCacheLoad *load_hook, NetsnmpCacheFree *free_hook)
functionally the same as calling netsnmp_register_handler() but also injects a cache handler at the same time for you.
netsnmp_cache * netsnmp_extract_cache_info (netsnmp_agent_request_info *reqinfo)
Extract the cache information for a given request.
int netsnmp_is_cache_valid (netsnmp_agent_request_info *reqinfo)
Is the cache valid for a given request?
int netsnmp_cache_helper_handler (netsnmp_mib_handler *handler, netsnmp_handler_registration *reginfo, netsnmp_agent_request_info *reqinfo, netsnmp_request_info *requests)
Implements the cache handler.
void release_cached_resources (unsigned int regNo, void *clientargs)
run regularly to automatically release cached resources.

Detailed Description

This helper checks to see whether the data has been loaded 'recently' (according to the timeout for that particular cache) and calls the registered 'load_cache' routine if necessary. The lower handlers can then work with this local cached data.
