'snmptrap' is a standalone application.
It uses the basic SNMP library APIs to generate traps (and informs),
with all of the necessary information (destination, version, admin
settings) specified explicitly.

'send_trap_vars' and 'send_easy_trap' are part of the *agent* API, and
generate traps/informs using configuration info specified elsewhere
(typically via the snmpd.conf file).

Yes.
