[ap-utils] Question...

[Nikhil Goel]

Hi Shawn,

To anwer your original question partially,  the data is returned as 
HEX-String in octets mostly, depending on the MIB.

The ap-utils uses the swap4 macro for processing in lib/ap-utils.h and 
src/ap-mrtg.c for this. You may want to check the source code.

If perl is acceptable to you, there is a simple script available at 
http://sg.smartbridges.com/helper/ inside sb-mrtg script set which could 
probably explain to you one of the quick and dirty methods of getting 
the respective values.

Regards,

Nikhil.
