check_snmp. Multiply or divide the obtained value

Good afternoon.
I need to multiply by 0.1 a value obtained with the check_snmp plugin. I have seen that there exists in the source code of Github https://github.com/nagios-plugins/nagio ... eck_snmp.c, a parameter:

#define L_MULTIPLIER CHAR_MAX+6

I need to send to "check_snmp" a parameter (for example, -M 0.1) to multiply/divide the value recibied.
How can I do it?

I think to patch "check_snmp" something like this below, comment the constant and substituing by 'M' parameters.
Thanks.
