@def SNMP_FREE(s) Frees a pointer only if it is !NULL and sets its value to NULL

#define SNMP_MALLOC_STRUCT(
    s)  

Discussion

@def SNMP_MALLOC_STRUCT(s) Mallocs memory of sizeof(struct s), zeros it and returns a pointer to it.

Discussion

@def SNMP_MAX(a, b) Computers the maximum of a and b.

#define SNMP_MIN(
    a,b)  

Discussion
