       void netsnmp_ds_shutdown(void);

DESCRIPTION
       The purpose of the default storage is three-fold:

       1)     To  create a global storage space without creating a whole bunch
              of globally accessible variables or  a  whole  bunch  of  access
              functions to work with more privately restricted variables.

       2)     To  provide  a single location where the thread locking needs to
              be implemented. At the time of  this  writing,  however,  thread
              locking is not yet in place.

       3)     To  reduce  the number of cross dependencies between code pieces
              that may or may not be linked together in  the  long  run.  This
              provides  for a single location in which configuration data, for
              example, can be stored for a separate section of code  that  may
              not be linked in to the application in question.

       The functions defined here implement these goals.

       Currently,  three  data  types  are  supported: booleans, integers, and
       strings. Each of these data types  have  separate  storage  spaces.  In
       addition,  the  storage  space for each data type is divided further by
       the application level.   Currently, there are two storage  spaces.  The
       first  is  reserved for the SNMP library itself. The second is intended
       for use in applications and is not modified or checked by the  library,
       and, therefore, this is the space usable by you.

       You can think of these storage spaces as being 3 arrays, something like
       bool_storage[storeid][which],     int_storage[storeid][which],      and
       string_storage[storeid][which].   The data is then accessed through the
       functions defined below.  For data you wish to store, you should use  a
       store parameter of NETSNMP_DS_APPLICATION_ID.

       The storage space used by the library (for which the store parameter is
       NETSNMP_DS_LIBRARY_ID) is defined in the  default_store.h  file,  which
       currently contains the following defines:

            */

FUNCTIONS
       int netsnmp_ds_set_boolean(int store, int which, int val);
              Stores  TRUE  if  val  !=  0  or  else FALSE into the bool_stor-
              age[store][which] slot.  Returns SNMPERR_GENERR if the store and
              which  parameters  do  not  correspond  to a valid slot, or SNM-
              PERR_SUCCESS otherwise.

       int netsnmp_ds_get_boolean(int store, int which);
              Returns 1 if bool_storage[store][which] is TRUE  or  0  if  not.
              May also return SNMPERR_GENERR if the store and which parameters
              do not correspond to a valid slot.

       int netsnmp_ds_set_string(int store, int which, const char *val);
              Stores val into the string_storage[store][which] slot.   Returns
              SNMPERR_SUCCESS  normally,  or  SNMPERR_GENERR  if the store and
              which parameters do not correspond to a valid slot.

       char *netsnmp_ds_get_string(int store, int which);
              Returns the string which has been  stored  in  the  string_stor-
              age[store][which]  slot,  or NULL if the store and which parame-
              ters do not correspond to a valid slot.

       netsnmp_ds_set_int(int store, int which, int val);
              Stores val into  the  int_storage[store][which]  slot.   Returns
              SNMPERR_GENERR  if  the store and which parameters do not corre-
              spond to a valid slot, or SNMPERR_SUCCESS otherwise.

       int netsnmp_ds_get_int(int store, int which);
              Returns the integer which  has  been  stored  in  the  int_stor-
              age[store][which] slot, or SNMPERR_GENERR if the store and which
              parameters do not correspond to a valid slot.

       void netsnmp_ds_shutdown(void);
              Reclaims memory  used  to  hold  information  gathered  by  net-
              snmp_ds_register_config and netsnmp_ds_register_premib.

       int  netsnmp_ds_register_config(u_char  type,  const char *ftype, const
       char *token, int store, int which);
              Registers a configuration file directive token and  attaches  it
              to  a  default  storage  type and slot.  Specifically, store and
              which indicate the storage slot in the data  type  indicated  by
              type, where type is one of the following constants: ASN_BOOLEAN,
              ASN_INTEGER, or ASN_OCTET_STR.  The ftype variable indicates the
              file name base string searched for the token keyword.  For exam-
              ple, the following call:

                     netsnmp_ds_register_config(ASN_INTEGER, "snmp",  "testto-
                     ken", DS_APPLICATION_ID, 5)

              would  indicate  that  when the snmp.conf file(s) were found and
              parsed, that any line beginning with the word "testtoken" should
              be  read  and  the value after "testtoken" should be stored into
              the int_storage[DS_APPLICATION_ID][5]  slot.   For  example  the
              following line in the configuration file:

                     testtoken 502

              would  set  int_storage[DS_APPLICATION_ID][5] = 502.  This func-
              tion returns SNMPERR_SUCCESS if the registration was  made  suc-
              cessfully,  or  SNMPERR_GENERR  if the registration was not made
              (perhaps because the store and which parameters  do  not  corre-
              spond  to  a valid slot, or because of a memory allocation fail-
              ure).

       int netsnmp_ds_register_premib(u_char type, const  char  *ftype,  const
       char *token, int store, int which);
              Analogous  to the preceding function, but the token is processed
              before MIBs are read (this is therefore useful  for  controlling
              MIB processing options).
