NAME

       smistrip - extract MIB or PIB modules from text files, like RFCs or I-Ds

SYNOPSIS

       smistrip [ -Vhn ] [ -d dir ] [ -m module ] [ file(s) ]

DESCRIPTION

       The  smistrip  program  is  used  to  extract  MIB and PIB module files from ASCII documents like RFCs or
       Internet Drafts. Modules are identified by a starting ASN.1  DEFINITIONS  clause  and  the  matching  END
       clause. The output is written to files named by the modules' names.

OPTIONS

       -V     Show the smistrip version and exit.

       -h     Show a help text and exit.

       -n     Print only what would be extracted, but do not write any output file.

       -d dir Write module file(s) to directory dir instead of the current working directory.

       -m module
              Extract only the module module instead of all modules found in the input file(s).

       file(s)
              The  input  text  file(s) from which modules will be extracted. If no file is given, input is read
              from stdin.

       Note that smistrip tries to be smart about locating module start and end, detecting page breaks and blank
       lines near page breaks. It also tries to cut off blank prefixing columns from all  lines  of  a  modules.
       However,  there  might  by  documents  that  cannot  be parsed correctly by smistrip and probably produce
       incorrect output.  You might consider to use  smilint  on  every  extracted  module  file  to  check  its
       syntactical correctness.

EXAMPLE

       This  example  extracts  only  the  module  IPV6-MIB from the file rfc2465 and writes it to the directory
       /usr/local/tmp.
         $ smistrip -d /usr/local/tmp -m IPV6-MIB rfc2465
