run the example-demon as master agent

Hello all,

I'm a new user of net snmp and I'm trying to use it to make a c++ program
expose some of its variables.
I have put my c++ code in the example-demon.c file provided in the rootkit
of the official page and is works fine when I run it as a subagent and I
use the snmpd as a master agent.

My question is:
Which exactly is the use of the line
int agentx_subagent = 1; /* change this if you want to be a SNMP master
agent */
??

What is supposed to happen when I change this variable to 0?
I am trying to run it as a master agent so that I will no longer need the
snmpd agent but I'm not sure if that's possible without making any other
changes. Do i need to add a handler with a switch-case for every command
(GET-case, GETNEXT-case etc)?
And is it possible anyway to use another agent as master agent instead of
snmpd?
Right now, when i run it as a master agent without starting tha snmpd agent
I get the error "Timeout: No Response from localhost".

If I start the snmpd everything works as expected and the snmpget command
returns the correct result.

Thanks in advance for any help!
Gina
