name and vp->name ? what is the difference

Hi all,

I am still trying to solve a huge problem i came accross not so long ago,
and thanks to Mike, I found out that my problem is not really the fact that
snmpwalk is sending an exact request its bigger than that. After reviewing
carefully, i found out that there is smthg happening that shouldn't be
happening.
In fact, I thought that the difference between name and vp->name in the
functuin findVar is the following (based on netsnmp tutorial):
-name is the oid of the request
-vp->name is the oid of the entry in the variableN for the object in
consideration
could anyone please exaplian what does "the oid of the entry in the
variableN for the object in consideration" means.
if i do:
snmpwalk mmsc
for example, what is name and what is vp->name?
>From my understanding, name would be mmsc and vp->name would be the first
child in the mmsc tree (considering that mmsc is in fact a tree).
If i have understood it right, what would be the next value for name and
vp->name on the next call, will name stay the same and
vp->name goes to the second leaf?
>From what i understood this is what should happens and when a value
different than NULL is returned in function findVar, then the next snmpwalk
will fill name with the last value taken by vp->name and appended by 0 and
vp->name continues normally (to the next child in the tree) and so on

Please enlight me if my expalantion is false

Thank you
Regards,
