DESCRIPTION
     The snmpctl program controls the snmpd(8) daemon.

     The options are as follows:

     -n      Show numeric OID values instead of their symbolic names.

     -s socket
             Use socket instead of the default /var/run/snmpd.sock to communi-
             cate with snmpd(8).

     The following commands are available:

     monitor
             Monitor internal messages of the snmpd(8) subsystems and engines.

     show mib
             Dump the tree of compiled-in MIB objects.

     trap send oid-string [oid oid-string type value ...]
             Send an SNMP trap via snmpd(8) to the registered trap receivers.
             The command takes one oid-string argument as the trap OID and op-
             tional varbind arguments with the specified oid-string, type, and
             value.  The following types are supported:
