NAME
asn1_read_value - API function
SYNOPSIS
#include <libtasn1.h>
asn1_retCode asn1_read_value(ASN1_TYPE root, const char * name, void * ivalue, int * len);
ARGUMENTS
- ASN1_TYPE root
-
pointer to a structure.
- const char * name
-
the name of the element inside a structure that you want to read.
- void * ivalue
-
vector that will contain the element's content, must be a
pointer to memory cells already allocated.
- int * len
-
number of bytes of *value: value[0]..value[len-1]. Initialy
holds the sizeof value.
DESCRIPTION
Returns the value of one element inside a structure.
If an element is OPTIONAL and the function "read_value" returns
ASN1_ELEMENT_NOT_FOUND, it means that this element wasn't present
in the der encoding that created the structure. The first element
of a SEQUENCE_OF or SET_OF is named "?1". The second one "?2" and
so on.
INTEGER
VALUE will contain a two's complement form integer.
integer=-1 -> value[0]=0xFF , len=1.
integer=1 -> value[0]=0x01 , len=1.
ENUMERATED
As INTEGER (but only with not negative numbers).
BOOLEAN
VALUE will be the null terminated string "TRUE" or
"FALSE" and LEN=5 or LEN=6.
OBJECT IDENTIFIER
VALUE will be a null terminated string with
each number separated by a dot (i.e. "1.2.3.543.1").
LEN = strlen(VALUE)+1
UTCTIME
VALUE will be a null terminated string in one of these
formats: "YYMMDDhhmmss+hh'mm'" or "YYMMDDhhmmss-hh'mm'".
LEN=strlen(VALUE)+1.
GENERALIZEDTIME
VALUE will be a null terminated string in the
same format used to set the value.
OCTET STRING
VALUE will contain the octet string and LEN will be
the number of octets.
GENERALSTRING
VALUE will contain the generalstring and LEN will
be the number of octets.
BIT STRING
VALUE will contain the bit string organized by bytes
and LEN will be the number of bits.
CHOICE
If NAME indicates a choice type, VALUE will specify the
alternative selected.
ANY
If NAME indicates an any type, VALUE will indicate the DER
encoding of the structure actually used.
