asn1_der_decoding_startEnd(3) libtasn1 asn1_der_decoding_startEnd(3)
NAME
asn1_der_decoding_startEnd - API function
SYNOPSIS
#include <libtasn1.h>
asn1_der_decoding_startEnd(3) element, const void * ider,
int ider_len, const char * name_element, int * start, int * end);
ARGUMENTS
asn1_node element
pointer to an ASN1 element
const void * ider
vector that contains the DER encoding.
int ider_len
number of bytes of * ider : ider [0].. ider [len-1]
const char * name_element
an element of NAME structure.
int * start the position of the first byte of NAME_ELEMENT decoding (
ider [*start])
int * end the position of the last byte of NAME_ELEMENT decoding (
ider [*end])
DESCRIPTION
Find the start and end point of an element in a DER encoding string. I
mean that if you have a der encoding and you have already used the
function asn1_der_decoding() to fill a structure, it may happen that
you want to find the piece of string concerning an element of the
structure.
One example is the sequence "tbsCertificate" inside an X509 certifi-
cate.
Note that since libtasn1 3.7 the ider and ider_len parameters can be
omitted, if the element is already decoded using asn1_der_decoding().
RETURNS
ASN1_SUCCESS if DER encoding OK, ASN1_ELEMENT_NOT_FOUND if ELEMENT is
asn1_node EMPTY or name_element is not a valid element, ASN1_TAG_ERROR
or ASN1_DER_ERROR if the der encoding doesn't match the structure ELE-
MENT.
