Regarding writing trap handlers

Hi

      My query is regarding the registering of snmp traps 

I am referring to link

http://www.net-snmp.org/wiki/index.php/FAQ:Applications_19

 

The FAQ says that for writing our own trap handlers

a)       user needs to change snmptrapd.conf file to specify the traps
handle using "trapHandle" directive 

b)      traphandle OID|default PROGRAM [ARGS ...]

c)       It also says that the program receives following parameters one per
line

a.      Hostname

b.      IP address

c.       Varbinds

e.g 

Following code associates perl script as a trap handler 

traphandle  default  /usr/bin/perl  /usr/bin/traptoemail  -s
mysmtp.somewhere.com -f [email protected] [email protected]

 

 

Question:

a)       Is there any way, we could associate a C program as a trap handler

b)       Is it possible to associate trap handlers using some piece of code
(in snmptrapd daemon)  rather than changing the snmptrapd.conf file
