Note: This interface is internal to Mibble and only exposed to make it available in different packages.

Since:

2.0

Method Summary

MibSymbol

findSymbol(java.lang.String name, boolean expanded) Searches for a named MIB symbol.

Method Detail

findSymbol

MibSymbol findSymbol(java.lang.String name,
                     boolean expanded)

Searches for a named MIB symbol. This method may search outside the normal (or strict) scope, thereby allowing a form of relaxed search. Note that the results from the normal and expanded search may not be identical, due to the context chaining and the same symbol name appearing in various contexts.

NOTE: This is an internal method that should only be called by the MIB loader.

Parameters:

name - the symbol name

expanded - the expanded scope flag

Returns:

the MIB symbol, or null if not found
