OUTPUT OPTIONS
-Oa If a string-valued object definition does not
include a Display Hint, then the library attempts
to determine whether it is an ascii or binary
string, and displays the value accordingly. This
flag bypasses this check, and displays all strings
as ASCII. Note that this does not affect objects
that do have a Display Hint.

-Ox This works similarly to =E2=80=99-Oa=E2=80=99, but displays s=
trings
as Hex.


Or

case 'a':
netsnmp_ds_set_int(NETSNMP_DS_LIBRARY_ID,
NETSNMP_DS_LIB_STRING_OUTPUT_FORMAT,
NETSNMP_STRING_OUTPUT_ASCII);
break;
case 'x':
netsnmp_ds_set_int(NETSNMP_DS_LIBRARY_ID,
NETSNMP_DS_LIB_STRING_OUTPUT_FORMAT,
NETSNMP_STRING_OUTPUT_HEX);
break;
