   Yes, it is written in C. It started as a fork of another tool to provide   
   SNMP data from nVidia GPUs buy querying the X server. I rewrote that tool   
   to instead do the querys by calling the tool nvidia-smi. My reason for   
   doing that was that I didn't want to assume that an X server is running   
   as cuda can be used to perform calculations on a GPU even without any X   
   server.

   I would say that it is a problem with the net-snmp API and the tools   
   provided to automagically create skeleton code to use that API. The SNMP   
   OID values are described in MIB files and they provide tools to   
   automagically create skeleton code to provide the OID values by SNMP. The   
   remaining work is only to fill some values with actual data.   
      
   However, this automatic bit rot has not scared me off from writing more   
   snmp agentx daemons. I also have a project at   
   https://github.com/henca/obis2snmp which makes it possible to monitor   
   some utility meters by snmp by connecting extra hardware. I use that to   
   monitor my electricity meter and my water meter.   
      
   Sorry for getting a bit of topic, my SNMP projects do not have much to do   
   with any smartphone.
