+SNMP Command Line Interface
+
+The scli package was written to address the need for small and efficient
+command line utilities to monitor and configure network devices and host
+systems. The scli package is based on the SNMP management protocol. It
+utilizes a MIB compiler called smidump to generate C stub code.
+
+scli connects to any SNMP-enabled network node and lets you interactively
+browse through the values stored in the devices SNMP database (MIB, Management
+Information Base). It also has a scriptable, non-interactive mode.
