Detailed Description

Representation of an SNMP PDU.

A PDU is a list of variable bindings (VB's). Note copying the PDU is in-expensive (it uses reference counting). However, if you want a thread-safe copy of a pdu, use the clone method instead. Internal logic within the snmp library clone()s a pdu before modifying it. Note that push_back() grows the pdu as necessary, but it is more efficient to reserve() the amount of space required for VB's before-hand if you know how much is needed. For complete safety only push_back() onto a pdu that you have clone()d.
