NAME
ASN1_item_d2i_ex, ASN1_item_d2i, ASN1_item_d2i_bio_ex,
ASN1_item_d2i_bio, ASN1_item_d2i_fp_ex, ASN1_item_d2i_fp,
ASN1_item_i2d_mem_bio - decode and encode DER-encoded ASN.1 structures
SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/asn1.h>
ASN1_VALUE *ASN1_item_d2i_ex(ASN1_VALUE **pval, const unsigned char **in,
long len, const ASN1_ITEM *it,
OSSL_LIB_CTX *libctx, const char *propq);
ASN1_VALUE *ASN1_item_d2i(ASN1_VALUE **pval, const unsigned char **in,
long len, const ASN1_ITEM *it);
void *ASN1_item_d2i_bio_ex(const ASN1_ITEM *it, BIO *in, void *x,
OSSL_LIB_CTX *libctx, const char *propq);
void *ASN1_item_d2i_bio(const ASN1_ITEM *it, BIO *in, void *x);
void *ASN1_item_d2i_fp_ex(const ASN1_ITEM *it, FILE *in, void *x,
OSSL_LIB_CTX *libctx, const char *propq);
void *ASN1_item_d2i_fp(const ASN1_ITEM *it, FILE *in, void *x);
BIO *ASN1_item_i2d_mem_bio(const ASN1_ITEM *it, const ASN1_VALUE *val);
DESCRIPTION
ASN1_item_d2i_ex() decodes the contents of the data stored in *in of
length len which must be a DER-encoded ASN.1 structure, using the ASN.1
template it. It places the result in *pval unless pval is NULL. If
*pval is non-NULL on entry then the ASN1_VALUE present there will be
reused. Otherwise a new ASN1_VALUE will be allocated. If any algorithm
fetches are required during the process then they will use the
OSSL_LIB_CTXprovided in the libctx parameter and the property query
string in propq. See "ALGORITHM FETCHING" in crypto(7) for more
information about algorithm fetching. On exit *in will be updated to
point to the next byte in the buffer after the decoded structure.
ASN1_item_d2i() is the same as ASN1_item_d2i_ex() except that the
default OSSL_LIB_CTX is used (i.e. NULL) and with a NULL property query
string.
ASN1_item_d2i_bio_ex() decodes the contents of its input BIO in, which
must be a DER-encoded ASN.1 structure, using the ASN.1 template it and
places the result in *pval unless pval is NULL. If in is NULL it
returns NULL, else a pointer to the parsed structure. If any algorithm
fetches are required during the process then they will use the
OSSL_LIB_CTX provided in the libctx parameter and the property query
string in propq. See "ALGORITHM FETCHING" in crypto(7) for more
information about algorithm fetching.
ASN1_item_d2i_bio() is the same as ASN1_item_d2i_bio_ex() except that
the default OSSL_LIB_CTX is used (i.e. NULL) and with a NULL property
query string.
ASN1_item_d2i_fp_ex() is the same as ASN1_item_d2i_bio_ex() except that
a FILE pointer is provided instead of a BIO.
RETURN VALUES
ASN1_item_d2i_bio() returns a pointer to an ASN1_VALUE or NULL.
ASN1_item_i2d_mem_bio() returns a pointer to a memory BIO or NULL on
error.
HISTORY
The functions ASN1_item_d2i_ex(), ASN1_item_d2i_bio_ex(),
ASN1_item_d2i_fp_ex() and ASN1_item_i2d_mem_bio() were added in OpenSSL
3.0.
