NAME

build_tt - build textual convention types database

SYNOPSIS

build_tt [ mib1 mib2 ... mibN ]

DESCRIPTION

build_tt builds the textual convention types database. The mib2schema(1) utility uses this database to look for new IMPORT definitions local to a MIB.

When mib2schema(1) is parsing a MIB and it runs into an IMPORT clause which it does not understand, it will display a message for the user to run the build_tt utility against the MIB file that has the IMPORT definition for the type or object. Whenever build_tt is invoked on a MIB file, the internal textual convention type database is updated with the new values.

OPTIONS

build_tt has no options but may take MIB names as arguments.

The output file tt.dbase is written to the directory specified by the SNMDBDIR environment variable. If SNMDBDIR is undefined, /var/opt/snm for Solaris 2.x or /var/adm/snm for Solaris 1.x is used as the default database directory.

USAGE

Users should run the build_tt utility whenever they need to add new textual conventions to the database.

FILES

tt.dbase This file contains the textual conventions and objects referred to when using the

IMPORT clause in a MIB. It is written into the directory specified by the SNMDBDIR environment variable. This file is written to /var/opt/snm for Solaris 2.x and /var/adm/snm for Solaris 1.x if SNMDBDIR is not defined.
