/** @example delayed_instance.c
* This example implements the netSnmpExampleSleeper object.
*
* It demonstrates 2 things:
*
* - The instance helper, which is a way of registering an exact OID
* such that GENEXT requests are handled entirely by the helper.
*
* - how to implement objects which normally would block the agent as
* it waits for external events in such a way that the agent can
* continue responding to other requests while this implementation
* waits.
*
* - Added bonus: normally the nsTransactionTable is empty, since
* there aren't any outstanding requests generally. When accessed,
* this module will create some however. Try setting
* netSnmpExampleSleeper.0 to 10 and then accessing it (use
* "snmpget -t 15 ..." to access it), and then walk the
* nsTransactionTable from another shell to see that not only is
* the walk not blocked, but that the nsTransactionTable is not
* empty.
