I would agree - you could either send the trap from within your application,
or invoke the "snmptrap" command to do this.
   Coding this yourself is cleaner, while forking off snmptrap is probably
simpler.

No - please do *NOT* attempt to use these API calls.
They are designed for use within an SNMP agent, and rely
on the agent infrastructure for sending the trap.

and turning it into an SNMP agent doesn't feel the right approach.

You'd be better off looking at the code for the snmptrap command,
to see how this sends traps.
