The SMI Database Command
Each database other than the master is identified by
smilib# where where # is an integer that
uniquely identifies the database (e.g. smilib1). The
full, unique name of the database also identifies a unique Tcl
command used to access information about that database's
records.
The master database, called smilib (without an
integer suffix) is always present -- even if destroyed, it is
immediately recreated with no other definitions loaded except for the
root nodes ccitt(0), iso(1) and joint-iso-ccitt(2) in OID space.
These are the root mounting points for all other records defining
object identifier values.
The database command provides a number of other interfaces for creating and destroying records, setting and querying properties for those records, and importing modules, as well as a built-in validation command that provides the same hundreds of tests performed by the MIB Smithy compiler. The subcommands supported by the database command are as follows (follow the link for more details):
