There is an API routine:

netsnmp_table_row *
netsnmp_table_data_get( netsnmp_table_data *table,
netsnmp_variable_list * indexes)

which will return the row for a given set of index values
(and a similar one based on encoded OID instance values).

But you've already found them!

No - that's the correct approach for your requirements.

I'm currently in the process of fleshing out a generic table API
framework, and applying it to the main table-related helpers.
This will include a set of standard API calls for constructing
and working with tables using any of these helpers. That should
hopefully be available with the 5.3 release.
But you're fortunate that the particular routines you need
are already in place for the table_data helper.
