 berval
berval represents binary data that is encoded using simplified Basic Encoding Rules (BER). The data and size of the data are included in a berval structure.

berval is defined as follows:

struct berval {

unsigned long bv_len;

char *bv_val;

};

The fields in this structure are described below:
bv_len

The length of the data.
bv_val

The binary data.

Use a berval structure when working with attributes that contain binary data (such as a JPEG or audio file).
