  <p>This <em>Implementation Example</em> section describes 
    how a simple manager can be implemented with the 
    SNMP Development Toolkit. </p>
  <p>The example shown, <em>ex2</em>, can be found in the toolkit 
    distribution. </p>
  <p>This example has two functions: </p>

    <title>The example manager</title>
    <p>The example manager, <c>snmp_ex2_manager</c>, is a simple example of 
      how to implement an snmp manager using the manager component of the
      SNMP Development Toolkit.</p>
    <p>The module exports the following functions:</p>
    <list type="bulleted">
      <item>
        <p>start_link/0, start_link/1</p>
      </item>
      <item>
        <p>stop/0</p>
      </item>
      <item>
        <p>agent/2, agent/3</p>
      </item>
      <item>
        <p>sync_get/2, sync_get/3</p>
      </item>
      <item>
        <p>sync_get_next/2, sync_get_next/3</p>
      </item>
      <item>
        <p>sync_get_bulk/4, sync_get_bulk/5</p>
      </item>
      <item>
        <p>sync_set/2, sync_set/3</p>
      </item>
      <item>
        <p>oid_to_name/1</p>
      </item>
    </list>
    <p>This module is also used by the test module described in the 
      next section.</p>

    <title>A simple standard test</title>
    <p>This simple standard test, <c>snmp_ex2_simple_standard_test</c>,
      a module which, using the <c>snmp_ex2_manager</c> described in the
      previous section, implements a simple agent test utility. </p>
