    <p>The <c><![CDATA[snmpc]]></c> program provides a way to run

  <section>
    <title>Compiler options</title>
    <p>The following options are supported (note that most of these relate 
    to the compilation of the MIB file):</p>
    <taglist>
      <tag>--help</tag>
      <item>
        <p>Prints help info.</p>
      </item>

      <tag>--version</tag>
      <item>
        <p>Prints application and mib format version.</p>
      </item>

      <tag>--verbosity <em>verbosity</em></tag>
      <item>
        <p>Print debug info. </p>
	<p><c>verbosity</c> = <c>trace</c> | <c>debug</c> | <c>log</c> | <c>info</c> | <c>silence</c></p>
	<p>Defaults to <c>silence</c>.</p>
      </item>

      <tag>--warnings</tag>
      <item>
        <p>Print warning messages. </p>
      </item>

      <tag>--o <em>directory</em></tag>
      <item>
        <p>The directory where the compiler should place the output files.
	If not specified, output files will be placed in the current working
	directory.</p>
      </item>

      <tag>--i <em>Directory</em></tag>
      <item>
        <p>Specifies the path to search for imported (compiled) MIB files. 
	By default, the current working directory is always included. </p>
	<p>This option can be present several times, each time specifying
	<em>one</em> path. </p>
      </item>

      <tag>--il <em>Directory</em></tag>
      <item>
        <p>This option (include_lib), specifies a list of directories to 
	search for imported MIBs. It assumes that the first element in 
	the directory name corresponds to an OTP application. The compiler 
	will find the current installed version. For example, the value 
	["snmp/mibs/"] will be replaced by ["snmp-3.1.1/mibs/"] (or what 
	the current version may be in the system). The current directory 
	and the "snmp-home"/priv/mibs/ are always listed last in the
        include path. </p>
      </item>

      <tag>--sgc</tag>
      <item>
	<p>This option (skip group check), if present, disables the 
	group check of the mib compiler. 
	That is, should the OBJECT-GROUP and the NOTIFICATION-GROUP 
	macro(s) be checked for correctness or not. </p>
      </item>

      <tag>--dep</tag>
      <item>
        <p>Keep deprecated definition(s). 
	If not specified the compiler will ignore deprecated definitions. </p>
      </item>

      <tag>--desc</tag>
      <item>
        <p>The DESCRIPTION field will be included. </p>
      </item>

      <tag>--ref</tag>
      <item>
        <p>The REFERENCE field will be included. </p>
      </item>

      <tag>--imp</tag>
      <item>
        <p>The IMPORTS field will be included. </p>
      </item>

      <tag>--mi</tag>
      <item>
        <p>The MODULE-IDENTITY field will be included. </p>
      </item>

      <tag>--mc</tag>
      <item>
        <p>The MODULE-COMPLIANCE field will be included. </p>
      </item>

      <tag>--ac</tag>
      <item>
        <p>The AGENT-CAPABILITIES field will be included. </p>
      </item>

      <tag>--mod <em>module</em></tag>
      <item>
        <p>The module which implements all the instrumentation functions. </p>
	<p>The name of all instrumentation functions must be the 
	same as the corresponding managed object it implements. </p>
      </item>

      <tag>--nd</tag>
      <item>
        <p>The default instrumentation functions will <em>not</em> be
	used if a managed object have no instrumentation function.
	Instead this will be reported as an error, and the compilation 
	aborts. </p>
      </item>

      <tag>--rrnac</tag>
      <item>
        <p>This option, if present, specifies that the row name assign check 
	shall not be done strictly according to the SMI (which allows only 
	the value 1). </p>
	<p>With this option, all values greater than zero is allowed (>= 1). 
	This means that the error will be converted to a warning. </p>
	<p>By default it is not included, but if this option is present 
	it will be. </p>
      </item>
