NAME
       smilint - syntax and semantic checks of SMIv1/v2 and SPPI modules

SYNOPSIS
       smilint	[ -Vhersm ] [ -c file ] [ -p module ] [ -l level ] [ -i error-
       pattern ] module(s)

DESCRIPTION
       The smilint program is used to check MIB	 or  PIB  modules  for	syntax
       errors  and  semantics  at  some degree.	 SMIv1/v2 style MIB modules as
       well as SPPI PIB modules are supported.

       The rules that smilint is based on are taken from RFC  1155,  RFC  1212
       and RFC 1215 for SMIv1, RFCs 2578-2580 for SMIv2, RFC 3159 for SPPI.

OPTIONS
       -V, --version
	      Show the smilint version and exit.

       -h, --help
	      Show a help text and exit.

       -e, --error-list
	      Show a list of all known error messages and exit. Error messages
	      can have associated tags, shown in braces at  the	 end  of  each
	      line.  The tags can be used with the -i option to ignore certain
	      error messages.

       -r, --recursive
	      Report errors and warnings also for  recursively	imported  mod‐
	      ules.

       -s, --severity
	      Show the error severity in brackets before error messages.

       -m, --error-names
	      Show the error names in braces before error messages.

       -c file, --config=file
	      Read  file  instead of any other (global and user) configuration
	      file.

       -p module, --preload=module
	      Preload the module module before	reading	 the  main  module(s).
	      This  may	 be  helpful  if  an  incomplete main module misses to
	      import some definitions.

       -l level, --level=level
	      Report errors and warnings up to the given severity level.   See
	      below  for  a description of the error levels. The default error
	      level is 3.

       -i prefix, --ignore=prefix
	      Ignore all errors that have a tag which matches prefix.  A  list
	      of  error	 tags  can be retrieved by calling smilint with the -e
	      option.

       module(s)
	      These are the modules to be checked. If a module argument repre‐
	      sents  a path name (identified by containing at least one dot or
	      slash character), this is assumed to be the exact file to	 read.
	      Otherwise,  if  a module is identified by its plain module name,
	      it is searched according to libsmi internal rules. See  smi_con‐
	      fig(3) for more details.

ERROR AND WARNING LEVELS
       All  generated  error  and warning messages have an associated severity
       level.  The actual severity levels are:

       0  Internal error, no recovery possible. Examples are memory allocation
	  failures.  Errors  of	 this  level  usually cause the application to
	  abort.

       1  Major SMI/SPPI error, recovery somehow  possible  but	 may  lead  to
	  severe  problems.  Examples  are  lexically unexpected characters or
	  unknown keywords. Errors of this  kind  usually  lead	 to  follow-on
	  errors.

       2  SMI/SPPI  error which is probably tolerated by some implementations.
	  Examples are MIB/PIB modules which  mix  constructs  from  different
	  SMI/SPPI versions.

       3  SMI/SPPI  error  which  is likely tolerated by many implementations.
	  Examples are misplaced SMIv2 MODULE-IDENTITY	invocations  or	 SMIv2
	  textual conventions derived from other textual conventions.

       4  Something which is not strictly an error but which is recommended to
	  be changed. Warnings of this level are usually considered during MIB
	  reviews.

       5  Something that is basically correct but might be problematic in cer‐
	  tain environments or usage scenarios.	 Examples  are	warnings  that
	  identifiers  only  differ  in	 case or that type definitions are not
	  used within the defining module.

       6  Messages of this level are auxiliary notices. Examples are  messages
	  that point to a previous definition in case of a redefinition.

       Higher  levels  are  currently not used and lead to the same effects as
       level 6 does. Note that errors up to level 3 are errors	violating  the
       specifications  and  must be fixed by the responsible author. The warn‐
       ings generated with level 4 should be considered during normal  MIB/PIB
       reviews.

EXAMPLE
       This  example  checks the file RMON2-MIB in the current directory (note
       that the `./' prefix ensures this). The error level is raised to 6  and
       warnings	 that  claim about identifier names that exceed a length of 32
       characters are suppressed.

	 $ smilint -l 6 -i namelength-32 ./RMON2-MIB
	 ./RMON2-MIB:3935: unexpected type restriction
	 ./RMON2-MIB:3936: unexpected type restriction
	 ./RMON2-MIB:3937: unexpected type restriction
	 ./RMON2-MIB:3938: unexpected type restriction
	 ./RMON2-MIB:3939: unexpected type restriction
	 ./RMON2-MIB:3940: unexpected type restriction
	 ./RMON2-MIB:4164: scalar object must not have a `read-create' access value
