.SS "void netsnmp_generic_extract_row (\fBnetsnmp_request_info\fP * request)"
.PP
Extract the row relating to a requested varbind. 
.PP
Definition at line 195 of file table_generic.c.
.SS "void netsnmp_generic_extract_table (\fBnetsnmp_request_info\fP * request)"
.PP
Extract the table relating to a requested varbind.

Definition at line 189 of file table_generic.c.
.SS "netsnmp_generic_free_handler (\fBnetsnmp_mib_handler\fP * handler)"
.PP
Free a MIB handler structure, releasing any related resources. 
.PP
Possibly called automatically by 'netsnmp_unregister_handler' ? 
.PP
Definition at line 165 of file table_generic.c.
.SS "\fBnetsnmp_mib_handler\fP* netsnmp_generic_get_handler (void)"
.PP
Create a MIB handler structure. 
.PP
This will typically be invoked within the corresponding 'netsnmp_generic_register' routine (or the registration code of a sub-helper based on this helper).
.PP
Alternatively, it might be called from the initialisation code of a particular MIB table implementation. 
.PP
Definition at line 158 of file table_generic.c.
.SS "void netsnmp_generic_insert_row (\fBnetsnmp_request_info\fP * request, void * row)"
.PP
Associate a (new) row with the requested varbind. 
.PP
The row should also be associated with any other varbinds that refer to the same index values.

Definition at line 203 of file table_generic.c.
.SS "int netsnmp_generic_register (\fBnetsnmp_handler_registration\fP * reginfo, void * table, \fBnetsnmp_table_registration_info\fP * table_info)"
.PP
Register a MIB table with the SNMP agent. 
.PP
Definition at line 172 of file table_generic.c.
.SS "int netsnmp_generic_unregister (\fBnetsnmp_handler_registration\fP * reginfo)"
.PP
Unregister a MIB table from the SNMP agent. 
.PP
This should also release the internal representation of the table. ?? Is a table-specific version of this needed, or would 'netsnmp_unregister_handler' + 'netsnmp_generic_free_handler' do?
