NAME
       utility_handlers - Simplify request processing A group of handlers intended to simplify certain
       aspects of processing a request for a MIB object.



   Modules
       bulk_to_next
           Convert GETBULK requests into GETNEXT requests for the handler.


       cache_handler
           Maintains a cache of data for use by lower level handlers.

Detailed Description
       Simplify request processing A group of handlers intended to simplify certain aspects of processing a
       request for a MIB object.

       These helpers do not implement any MIB objects themselves. Rather they handle specific generic
       situations, either returning an error, or passing a (possibly simpler) request down to lower level
       handlers.
