SnmpGetTranslateMode

The WinSNMP SnmpGetTranslateMode function returns the current setting of the entity and context translation mode to a WinSNMP application. The entity and context translation mode affects the interpretation and return of WinSNMP input and output string parameters.

SNMPAPI_STATUS SnmpGetTranslateMode(
  smiLPUINT32 nTranslateMode  // current entity/context translation mode
);

Parameters

nTranslateMode

[out] Pointer to an unsigned long integer variable to receive the entity and context translation mode in effect for the Microsoft WinSNMP implementation. This parameter can be one of the following values.

Value	Meaning
SNMPAPI_TRANSLATED	The implementation uses its database to translate user-friendly names for SNMP entities and managed objects. The implementation translates them into their SNMPv1 or SNMPv2C components.
SNMPAPI_UNTRANSLATED_V1	The implementation interprets SNMP entity parameters as SNMP transport addresses, and context parameters as SNMP community strings. For SNMPv2 destination entities, the implementation creates outgoing SNMP messages that contain a value of zero in the version field.
SNMPAPI_UNTRANSLATED_V2	The implementation interprets SNMP entity parameters as SNMP transport addresses, and context parameters as SNMP community strings. For SNMPv2 destination entities, the implementation creates outgoing SNMP messages that contain a value of 1 in the version field.

Return Values

If the function succeeds, the return value is SNMPAPI_SUCCESS.

If the function fails, the return value is SNMPAPI_FAILURE. If SnmpGetTranslateMode fails, the value of the nTranslateMode parameter has no meaning for the application. To get extended error information, call SnmpGetLastError specifying a NULL value in its session parameter. The SnmpGetLastError function can return one of the following errors.

Remarks

The entity and context translation mode affects calls to the SnmpStrToEntity, SnmpStrToContext, SnmpContextToStr and SnmpEntityToStr functions. For additional information, see Setting the Entity and Context Translation Mode.

  Windows NT/2000: Requires Windows 2000.
  Windows 95/98: Unsupported.
  Header: Declared in Winsnmp.h.
