asn1_read_value_type(3)		   libtasn1	       asn1_read_value_type(3)

NAME
       asn1_read_value_type - API function

SYNOPSIS
       #include <libtasn1.h>

       int  asn1_read_value_type(asn1_node  root,  const  char	* name, void *
       ivalue, int * len, unsigned int * etype);

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.

       unsigned int * etype
		   The type of the value read (ASN1_ETYPE)

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.
