So sysUpTime is basically an integer as well.
But the library knows how to interpret this type,
and typically displays it in a more meaningful form.

It's not clear exactly what you mean by that.
SNMP requests are held in a "struct variable_list",
which includes a "netsnmp_vardata val" field
to hold the actual value.
See <net-snmp/library/snmp_api.h> for details.
