+ <modulesummary>Behaviour module for the SNMP manager user.</modulesummary>
+ <description>
+ <p>This module defines the behaviour of the manager user.
+ A <c>snmpm_user</c> compliant module
+ must export the following functions: </p>
+ <list type="bulleted">
+ <item>
+ <p>handle_error/3</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>handle_agent/4</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>handle_pdu/4</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>handle_trap/3</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>handle_inform/3</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>handle_report/3</p>
+ </item>
+ </list>
+ <p>The semantics of them and their exact signatures are explained
+ below. </p>
+ <p>Note that if an agent is registered using the old, no longer
+ documented, functions (using Addr and Port), the old variant of the
+ callback functions, handle_pdu, handle_trap, handle_inform and
+ handle_report, will be called. </p>
+
+ <marker id="handle_error"></marker>
+ </description>
+ <funcs>
+ <func>
+ <name>handle_error(ReqId, Reason, UserData) -> Reply</name>
+ <fsummary>Handle error</fsummary>
+ <type>
+ <v>ReqId = integer()</v>
+ <v>Reason = {unexpected_pdu, SnmpInfo} | {invalid_sec_info, SecInfo, SnmpInfo} | {empty_message, Addr, Port} | term()</v>
+ <v>Addr = ip_address()</v>
+ <v>Port = integer()</v>
+ <v>UserData = term()</v>
+ <v>Reply = ignore</v>
+ </type>
+ <desc>
+ <p>This function is called when the manager needs to
+ communicate an "asynchronous" error, to the user:
+ e.g. failure to send an asynchronous message (i.e. encoding
+ error), a received message was discarded due to security
+ error, the manager failed to generate a response message to
+ a received inform-request, or when receiving an unexpected
+ PDU from an agent (could be an expired async request). </p>
+ <p>If <c>ReqId</c> is less then 0, it means that this
+ information was not available to the manager (that info was
+ never retrieved before the message was discarded).
+ </p>
+ <p>For <c>SnmpInfo</c> see handle_agent below.</p>
