    Pointer to the octet stream.
  • length

  • dynamic

Remarks

Use the AsnOctetString structure to transfer string values. For example, use it to transfer the string that represents a computer name as a MIB object value.

You must check the flag specified in the dynamic member before you release the data stream of an octet string. Call the SnmpUtilMemFree function only if the dynamic member is set to TRUE.
