asn1_octet_der (3)

Name

asn1_octet_der - API function

Synopsis

#include <libtasn1.h>

void  asn1_octet_der(const  unsigned  char * str, int str_len, unsigned
char * der, int * der_len);

Description

asn1_octet_der(3)                  libtasn1                  asn1_octet_der(3)



NAME
       asn1_octet_der - API function

SYNOPSIS
       #include <libtasn1.h>

       void  asn1_octet_der(const  unsigned  char * str, int str_len, unsigned
       char * der, int * der_len);

ARGUMENTS
       const unsigned char * str
                   the input data.

       int str_len STR length (str[0]..str[*str_len-1]).

       unsigned char * der
                   encoded string returned.

       int * der_len
                   number of meaningful bytes of DER (der[0]..der[der_len-1]).

DESCRIPTION
       Creates a length-value DER encoding for the input data.  The DER encod-
       ing of the input data will be placed in the  der variable.

       Note that the OCTET STRING tag is not included in the output.

       This  function  does  not  return any value because it is expected that
       der_len will contain enough bytes to store  the  string  plus  the  DER
       encoding.    The    DER   encoding   size   can   be   obtained   using
       asn1_length_der().
