 Name

    getone - program that retrieves variables from an SNMP entity

 Syntax

    getone entityaddr community string variable name
    [variable name] ...

 Description

    getone is an SNMP application to retrieve a set of individual variables
    from an SNMP entity using a GET request.  The arguments are the entity's
    address, the community string for access to the SNMP entity, and the
    fully qualified variable name(s) expressed as either dot-notation or the
    variable name as it appears in the MIB document.  It should be noted that
    since the function is GET, as opposed to a GET-NEXT, the variable must be
    fully qualified for the request to be successful.  For instance:

       getone suzzy public sysDescr.0 ifNumber.0

    would return the variables sysDescr.0 and ifNumber.0.

    but the call

       getone suzzy public system

    would return an error from the entity since ``system'' is not a fully
    qualified SNMP variable.
