 .B ber_int_t
 is a signed integer of at least 32 bits.  It is commonly equivalent to
 .BR int .
+.B ber_uint_t
+is the unsigned variant of
+.BR ber_int_t .
 .LP
 .B ber_len_t
 is a unsigned integer of at least 32 bits used to represent a length.  
 It is commonly equivalent to a

 .B ber_tag_t
 is a unsigned integer of at least 32 bits used to represent a

+.BR BerValue ,
+commonly used as
+.BR struct\ berval ,
+is used to holds an arbitrary sequence of octets.
+.B bv_val
+points to

+.B bv_val
+is not necessarly terminated by a NULL (zero) octet.
+.LP
+.B BerElement
+is an opaque structure used to hold state information for LBER encoding
+and decoding routines.
