No.
The Net-SNMP suite can be used to develop client-side applications.
However the "mib2c" tool *is* primarily aimed at agent development.
It could in principle be used to generate client-side code, but the
configuration files that we provide aren't really geared up for that.
You are probably better off looking at the example client tools we
provide (under "apps"), and generating something based on those.
The first thing to decide is what information you need to retrieve,
and how you are going to display it.

No - all those files are concerned with implementing this MIB
as an agent module. If you've already got an agent that
implements this MIB, then you can forget about the mib2c
stuff altogether.
Try looking at "snmpdf" or similar, for a client-oriented approach.
