Demonstration Modules

The /usr/demo/sma_snmp directory contains several demonstration modules. The demo modules illustrate methods for creating modules to solve various kinds of information-gathering problems. Later chapters in this manual discuss the demo modules in detail. The following table lists and describes the demo modules. The table also provides cross-references to the sections that discuss the demos.
