I'm currently developing a monitoring application for some in-house hardware using net-snmp. I have code that somewhat works, when calling snmp_pdu_free() my code segfaults. I am creating the pdu struct with snmp_create_pdu(). I would like an API reference to see if I am in fact writing my code correctly, but I haven't been able to find one. The best thing I've found is the tutorials on the net-snmp website, but they aren't much help for determining if my code is correct while I'm debugging.

A:
There are MAN pages for net-snmp, try man snmp-free-pdu. If that doesn't help, the source code for 5.3.3 is available to download here:

The man pages don't mention snmp_create_pdu, though the tutorial does mention it and the sources reference it.

The Net-SNMP documentation is not very helpful, unfortunately. Overall, the API is a bugger to work with, but it does work.
Aside from net-snmp.org and the mailing list, this is the only other useful Net-SNMP related reference I've found useful:

Also, sign up for the 'net-snmp-coders' mailing list. It is very active and you can get feedback directly from the authors of Net-SNMP.

Good luck.
