Hi All,


I am adding SNMPGET support for a MIB object and have created a MIB
implementation file. Some sites say the datatype ASN_OCTET_STR is not
null-terminated as in a C-style string. I did see that snmp_set_var_value()
appends '\0' at the end of the ASN_OCTET_STR type.

Kindly confirm whether I have to terminate the string with a null character
and set the length to include the null character before calling
snmp_set_var_value().



Thanks,
Pushpa.T
