asn1_expand_octet_string(3)

NAME
asn1_expand_octet_string - API function

SYNOPSIS
#include <libtasn1.h>

int asn1_expand_octet_string(asn1_node_const definitions, asn1_node * element, const char * octetName, const char * objectName);

ARGUMENTS

asn1_node_const definitions
    ASN1 definitions

asn1_node * element
    pointer to an ASN1 structure

const char * octetName
    name of the OCTET STRING field to expand.

const char * objectName
    name of the OBJECT IDENTIFIER field to use to define the type for expansion.

DESCRIPTION
Expands an "OCTET STRING" element of a structure created from a DER decoding process (the asn1_der_decoding() function). The type used for expansion is the first one following the definition of the actual value of the OBJECT IDENTIFIER indicated by OBJECTNAME.

RETURNS
ASN1_SUCCESS if substitution OK, ASN1_ELEMENT_NOT_FOUND if objectName or octetName are not correct, ASN1_VALUE_NOT_VALID if it wasn't possible to find the type to use for expansion, or other errors depending on DER decoding.
