Modules
bulk_to_next: convert
GETBULK requests into GETNEXT requests for the handler.
The only purpose of this handler is to convert a GETBULK
request to a GETNEXT request.
debug: print
out debugging information about the handler chain being
called.
This is a useful module for run-time debugging of requests
as the pass this handler in a calling chain.
instance:
process scalars and other instances easily.
mode_end_call: at the end of a series of requests, call
another handler hook.
Handlers that want to loop through a series of requests and
then receive a callback at the end of a particular MODE can
use this helper to make this possible.
multiplexer:
splits mode requests into calls to different handlers.
The multiplexer helper lets you split the calling chain
depending on the calling mode (get vs getnext vs
set).
old_api:
Calls mib module code written in the old style of code.
This is a backwards compatilibity module that allows code
written in the old API to be run under the new handler based
architecture.
read_only:
make your handler read_only automatically
The only purpose of this handler is to return an appropriate
error for any requests passed to it in a SET mode.
scalar:
process scalars easily.
serialize: Calls sub handlers one request at a time.
This functionally passes in one request at a time into lower
handlers rather than a whole bunch of requests at
once.
table: Helps
you implement a table.
This handler helps you implement a table by doing some of
the processing for you.
watcher:
watch a specified variable and process
it as an instance or scalar object

The basic theory goes something like this: In the past, with the original mib module api (which derived from the original CMU SNMP code) the underlying mib modules were passed very little information (only the truly most basic information about a request).
This worked well at the time but in todays world of subagents, device instrumentation, low resource consumption, etc, it just isn’t flexible enough. ’handlers’ are here to fix all that.
With the rewrite of the agent internals for the net-snmp 5.0 release, we introduce a modular calling scheme that allows agent modules to be written in a very flexible manner, and more importantly allows reuse of code in a decent way (and without the memory and speed overheads of OO languages like C++).
Functionally, the notion of what a handler does is the same as the older api: A handler is created and then registered with the main agent at a given OID in the OID tree and gets called any time a request is made that it should respond to. You probably should use one of the convenience helpers instead of doing anything else yourself though:
Most importantly, though, is that the handlers are built on the notion of modularity and reuse. Specifically, rather than do all the really hard work (like parsing table indexes out of an incoming oid request) in each module, the API is designed to make it easy to write ’helper’ handlers that merely process some aspect of the request before passing it along to the final handler that returns the real answer. Most people will want to make use of the instance, table, table_iterator, table_data, or table_dataset helpers to make their life easier. These ’helpers’ interpert important aspects of the request and pass them on to you.
For instance, the table helper is designed to hand you a list of extracted index values from an incoming request. THe table_iterator helper is built on top of the table helper, and is designed to help you iterate through data stored elsewhere (like in a kernel) that is not in OID lexographical order (ie, don’t write your own index/oid sorting routine, use this helper instead).

modes the handler supports.
If modes == 0, then modes will automatically be set to the default value of only HANDLER_CAN_DEFAULT, which is by default read-only GET and GETNEXT requests.
Note:
This ends up calling netsnmp_create_handler(name, handler_access_method)
