How to use snmp_add_var API for bitstring and octet string

Hi All,

I don't know how to use NetSnmp API snmp_add_var(...) for bitstring in order to
send SET request.

Using the example I found from the user-list, if I would like to set the bit #7
in following bit string where bits v0, v3, and v10 are set:
bits=00000100 00001001

The new bits after set should be
new_bits=00000100 10001001

If I understood RFC3416, the encoding of the new_bits should be like
10010001 00100000

I guess I should use type='b' but I don't know what's the way I should set char*
value for the bitstring when invoking snmp_add_var() API.

I thought to translate the new_bits to octets that would be 0x91 and 0x20. I
could use type='x' but again I'm not sure what's the way I should set the char*
value for those two octets.

I would very appreciate your help on both cases: how to use snmp_add_var for
octet string and bitstring.

Thanks for your help in advance,
Xiangyang
