NAME
asn1_read_value - API function
SYNOPSIS
#include <libtasn1.h>
int asn1_read_value(asn1_node root, const char * name, void * ivalue,
int * len);
ARGUMENTS
asn1_node root
pointer to a structure.
const char * name
the name of the element inside a structure that you want to
read.
void * ivalue
vector that will contain the element's content, must be a
pointer to memory cells already allocated.
int * len number of bytes of *value: value[0]..value[len-1]. Initialy
holds the sizeof value.
DESCRIPTION
Returns the value of one element inside a structure.
If an element is OPTIONAL and the function "read_value" returns
ASN1_ELEMENT_NOT_FOUND, it means that this element wasn't present in
the der encoding that created the structure. The first element of a
SEQUENCE_OF or SET_OF is named "?1". The second one "?2" and so on.
INTEGER
VALUE will contain a two's complement form integer.
integer=-1 -> value[0]=0xFF , len=1. integer=1 -> value[0]=0x01 ,
len=1.
ENUMERATED
As INTEGER (but only with not negative numbers).
BOOLEAN
VALUE will be the null terminated string "TRUE" or "FALSE" and LEN=5 or
LEN=6.
OBJECT IDENTIFIER
VALUE will be a null terminated string with each number separated by a
dot (i.e. "1.2.3.543.1").
LEN = strlen(VALUE)+1
UTCTIME
VALUE will be a null terminated string in one of these formats: "YYMMD‐
Dhhmmss+hh'mm'" or "YYMMDDhhmmss-hh'mm'". LEN=strlen(VALUE)+1.
GENERALIZEDTIME
VALUE will be a null terminated string in the same format used to set
the value.
OCTET STRING
VALUE will contain the octet string and LEN will be the number of
octets.
GENERALSTRING
VALUE will contain the generalstring and LEN will be the number of
octets.
BIT STRING
VALUE will contain the bit string organized by bytes and LEN will be
the number of bits.
CHOICE
If NAME indicates a choice type, VALUE will specify the alternative
selected.
ANY
If NAME indicates an any type, VALUE will indicate the DER encoding of
the structure actually used.
RETURNS
ASN1_SUCCESS if value is returned, ASN1_ELEMENT_NOT_FOUND if name is
not a valid element, ASN1_VALUE_NOT_FOUND if there isn't any value for
the element selected, and ASN1_MEM_ERROR if The value vector isn't big
enough to store the result, and in this case len will contain the num‐
ber of bytes needed.
