Re: trap listener

After a little digging, it seems as though I need to look at snmp_read()
which calls snmp_parse().  snmp_parse() is a static function so can't call
it directly, and it looks like it passes the parsed pdu to a call back
function.  I have no need for snmp_read() since I already have the packets
handed to me from libpcap.  Is there an alternative that I have missed?

Note, I am not writing a daemon to accept traps, I am 'sniffing' traps from
a local LAN.

Thanks for any help.
