If you are using the 'snmp_parse_args()' API to handle command-line
options, then this will support the '-m' flag automatically.

Otherwise, simply set the environmental variable 'MIBS' within your code:

     setenv("MIBS", "My-MIB", 1);

No - you can definitely use MIB object names.
In fact, if you use something like

    read_objid("My-MIB::myObject", anOID, &anOID_len);

then you don't need the 'setenv' call at all.
