|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
These functions allow an B<ASN1_STRING> structure to be manipulated.
|
|
|
|
ASN1_STRING_length() returns the length of the content of I<x>.
|
|
|
|
ASN1_STRING_get0_data() returns an internal pointer to the data of I<x>.
|
|
Since this is an internal pointer it should B<not> be freed or
|
|
modified in any way.
|
|
|
|
ASN1_STRING_data() is similar to ASN1_STRING_get0_data() except the
|
|
returned value is not constant. This function is deprecated:
|
|
applications should use ASN1_STRING_get0_data() instead.
|
|
|
|
ASN1_STRING_dup() returns a copy of the structure I<a>.
|
|
|
|
ASN1_STRING_cmp() compares I<a> and I<b> returning 0 if the two
|
|
are identical. The string types and content are compared.
|
|
|
|
ASN1_STRING_set() sets the data of string I<str> to the buffer
|
|
I<data> or length I<len>. The supplied data is copied. If I<len>
|
|
is -1 then the length is determined by strlen(data).
|
|
|
|
ASN1_STRING_type() returns the type of I<x>, using standard constants
|
|
such as B<V_ASN1_OCTET_STRING>.
|
|
|
|
ASN1_STRING_to_UTF8() converts the string I<in> to UTF8 format, the
|
|
converted data is allocated in a buffer in I<*out>. The length of
|
|
I<out> is returned or a negative error code. The buffer I<*out>
|
|
should be freed using OPENSSL_free().
|
|
|
|
=head1 NOTES
|
|
|
|
Almost all ASN1 types in OpenSSL are represented as an B<ASN1_STRING>
|
|
structure. Other types such as B<ASN1_OCTET_STRING> are simply typedef'ed
|
|
to B<ASN1_STRING> and the functions call the B<ASN1_STRING> equivalents.
|
|
B<ASN1_STRING> is also used for some B<CHOICE> types which consist
|
|
entirely of primitive string types such as B<DirectoryString> and
|
|
B<Time>.
|
|
|
|
These functions should B<not> be used to examine or modify B<ASN1_INTEGER>
|
|
or B<ASN1_ENUMERATED> types: the relevant B<INTEGER> or B<ENUMERATED>
|
|
utility functions should be used instead.
|
|
|
|
In general it cannot be assumed that the data returned by ASN1_STRING_data()
|
|
is null terminated or does not contain embedded nulls. The actual format
|
|
of the data will depend on the actual string type itself: for example
|
|
for an IA5String the data will be ASCII, for a BMPString two bytes per
|
|
character in big endian format, and for an UTF8String it will be in UTF8 format.
|
|
|
|
Similar care should be take to ensure the data is in the correct format
|
|
when calling ASN1_STRING_set().
|
|
|
|
=head1 RETURN VALUES
|
|
|
|
ASN1_STRING_length() returns the length of the content of I<x>.
|
|
|
|
ASN1_STRING_get0_data() and ASN1_STRING_data() return an internal pointer to
|
|
the data of I<x>.
|
|
|
|
ASN1_STRING_dup() returns a valid B<ASN1_STRING> structure or NULL if an
|
|
error occurred.
|
|
|
|
ASN1_STRING_cmp() returns an integer greater than, equal to, or less than 0,
|
|
according to whether I<a> is greater than, equal to, or less than I<b>.
|
|
|
|
ASN1_STRING_set() returns 1 on success or 0 on error.
|
|
|
|
ASN1_STRING_type() returns the type of I<x>.
|
|
|
|
ASN1_STRING_to_UTF8() returns the number of bytes in output string I<out> or a
|
|
negative value if an error occurred.
