Pros

This library can be used to develop your own SNMP applications. The library is very easy to use, once you figure it out. The nice thing about the package is that it comes with the source code to commands such as snmpget, snmpset, and snmpwalk, which can be used to see how these sorts of operations are accomplished.

Cons

The documentation on how to use the library is poor to the point of nonexistence.
