DESCRIPTION The following are the basic types and structures defined for use with signed variant to ber_len_t.
ber_tag_t is an unsigned integer of at least 32 bits used to represent a BER tag. It is commonly equivalent to a unsigned long.
The actual definitions of the integral impl_TYPE_t types are platform specific.
BerValue, commonly used as struct berval, is used to hold an arbitrary sequence of octets. bv_val points to bv_len octets. bv_val is not necessarily terminated by a NULL (zero) octet. ber_bvfree() frees a BerValue, pointed to by bv, returned from this API. If bv is NULL, the routine does nothing.
ber_bvecfree() frees an array of BerValues (and the array), pointed to by bvec, returned from this API. If bvec is NULL, the routine does nothing. ber_bvecadd() appends the bv pointer to the bvec array. Space for the array is allocated as needed. The end of the array is marked by a NULL pointer.
ber_bvarray_free() frees an array of BerValues (and the array), pointed to by bvarray, returned from this API. If bvarray is NULL, the routine does nothing. ber_bvarray_add() appends the contents of the BerValue pointed to by bv to the bvarray array. Space for the new element is allocated as needed. The end of the array is marked by a BerValue with a NULL bv_val field.
ber_bvdup() returns a copy of a BerValue. The routine returns NULL upon error (e.g. out of memory). The caller should use ber_bvfree() to deallocate the resulting BerValue. ber_dupbv() copies a BerValue from src to dst. If dst is NULL a new BerValue will be allocated to hold the copy. The routine returns NULL upon error, otherwise it returns a pointer to the copy. If dst is NULL the caller should use ber_bvfree() to deallocate the resulting BerValue, otherwise ber_memfree() should be used to deallocate the dst->bv_val. (The ber_bvdup() function is internally implemented as ber_dupbv(NULL, bv). ber_bvdup() is provided only for compatibility with an expired draft of the LDAP C API; ber_dupbv() is the preferred interface.)
ber_bvstr() returns a BerValue containing the string pointed to by str. ber_bvstrdup() returns a BerValue containing a copy of the string pointed to by str. ber_str2bv() returns a BerValue containing the string pointed to by str, whose length may be optionally specified in len. If dup is non-zero, the BerValue will contain a copy of str. If len is zero, the number of bytes to copy will be determined by strlen(3), otherwise len bytes will be copied. If bv is non-NULL, the result will be stored in the given BerValue, otherwise a new BerValue will be allocated to store the result. NOTE: Both ber_bvstr() and ber_bvstrdup() are implemented as macros using ber_str2bv() in this version of the library.
BerElement is an opaque structure used to maintain state information used in encoding and decoding. ber_alloc_t() is used to create an empty BerElement structure. If LBER_USE_DER is specified for the options parameter then data lengths for data written to the BerElement will be encoded in the minimal number of octets required, otherwise they will always be written as four byte values. ber_init() creates a BerElement structure that is initialized with a copy of the data in its bv parameter. ber_init2() initializes an existing BerElement ber using lber-encode(3), lber-decode(3), lber-memory(3)
