This structure represents an OID with the restrictions defined in the
SNMP SMI. len holds the current length of the OID and subs holds the
elements of the OID.

union {

const u_char *cptr;
} asn_u;

};
#define asn_cptr asn_u.cptr
#define asn_ptr asn_u.ptr
This structure is used to encode and decode ASN.1. It describes the
output buffer for encoding routines and the input buffer for decoding
routines. For encoding asn_len holds the number of remaining free octets
in the buffer. The first free byte is pointed to by asn_ptr. For
decoding asn_len holds the number of remaining bytes to decode. The next
byte to decode is pointed to by asn_cptr.
Most of the functions return an error code enum asn_error:
enum asn_err {
/* conversion was ok */
ASN_ERR_OK = 0,
/* conversion failed and stopped */
ASN_ERR_FAILED = 1 | 0x1000,
/* length field bad, value skipped */
ASN_ERR_BADLEN = 2,
/* out of buffer, stopped */
ASN_ERR_EOBUF = 3 | 0x1000,
/* length ok, but value is out of range */
ASN_ERR_RANGE = 4,
/* not the expected tag, stopped */
ASN_ERR_TAG = 5 | 0x1000,
};
#define ASN_ERR_STOPPED(E) (((E) & 0x1000) != 0)
If ASN_ERR_STOPPED() returns true, the error was fatal and processing has
stopped at the point of error.
The function asn_get_header() reads the next header from the input octet
stream. It returns the tag in the variable pointed to by type (note that
only single byte tags are supported) and the decoded length field in the
value pointed to by lenp (this is restricted to a unsigned 32-bit value).
All errors in this function are fatal and stop processing.
example, for sequences. asn_put_temp_header() writes a header with the
given tag type and space for the maximum supported length field and sets
the pointer pointed to by ptr to the begin of this length field. This
pointer must then be fed into asn_commit_header() directly after writing
the value to the buffer. The function will compute the length, insert it
into the right place and shift the value if the resulting length field is
shorter than the estimated one.
The function asn_get_integer_raw() is used to decode a signed integer
value (32-bit). It assumes, that the header of the integer has been
decoded already. len is the length obtained from the ASN.1 header and
the integer will be returned in the value pointed to by res.
The function asn_get_integer() decodes a complete 32-bit signed integer
including the header. If the tag is wrong ASN_ERR_TAG is returned. The
function asn_put_integer() encodes a 32-bit signed integer.
The function asn_get_octetstring_raw() decodes the value field of an
ASN.1 octet string. The length obtained from the header must be fed into
the len argument and out must point to a buffer to receive the octet
string. On entry to the function outsize must point to the size of the
buffer. On exit outsize will point to the number of octets decoded (if
no error occurs this will be equal to len ). The function
asn_get_octetstring() decodes an octetstring including the header. out
must point to a buffer to receive the string, outsize must point to the
size of the buffer. On exit of the function outsize will point to the
number of octets decoded. The function asn_put_octetstring() encodes an
octetstring (including the header). str points to the string to encode
and strsize is the length of the string (the string may contain embedded
NULs).
The function asn_get_null_raw() decodes a null value. len is the length
obtained from the header and must be 0. The function asn_get_null()
decodes a null including the header and the function asn_put_null()
encodes a null.
The function asn_put_exception() is used to encode an SNMPv2 exception.
The exception type is type.
The function asn_get_objid_raw() is used to decode an OID value. len
must be the value length obtained from the header and oid will receive
the decoded OID. The function asn_get_objid() decodes a complete OID
(including the header) and the function asn_put_objid() encodes a
complete OID.
The function asn_get_sequence() decodes a sequence header. The length of
the sequence value will be stored in the value pointed to by lenp.
The function asn_get_ipaddress_raw() decodes an IP address value. len is
the length from the header and must be 4. ipa will receive the decoded
IP address and must point to a buffer of at least four bytes. The
function asn_get_ipaddress() decodes a complete IP address (including the
header) and asn_put_ipaddress() encodes an IP address.
The function asn_get_uint32_raw() decodes an unsigned 32-bit integer
value. len is the length from the header and res will get the decoded
value. The function asn_put_uint32() encodes an unsigned 32-bit integer
value and inserts the tag given in type into the header.
The function asn_skip() can be used to skip len bytes in the input
buffer.
The function asn_slice_oid() splits a part out from an OID. It takes all
the subids from the OID pointed to by src starting with the subid at
position from (the first subid being subid 0) up to, but not including,
subid to and generates a new OID in dest. If to is less or equal to from
the resulting OID will have a length of zero.
The function asn_append_oid() appends the OID from to the OID to given
that the resulting OID is not too long. If the maximum length is
exceeded the result is undefined.
The function asn_compare_oid() compares two oids and returns the values
-1, 0 or +1 when oid1 is lesser than, equal, or larger than oid2 resp.
The function asn_is_suboid() returns 1 if oid1 is equal to the leading
part of oid2. It returns 0 otherwise.
The function asn_oid2str_r() makes a printable string from oid. The
buffer pointed to by str must be large enough to hold the result. The
constant ASN_OIDSTRLEN is defined to be the length of the maximum string
generated by this function (including the trailing NUL). The function
asn_oid2str() makes a printable string from oid into a private buffer
that is overwritten by each call.
DIAGNOSTICS
When an error occurs in any of the function the function pointed to by
the global pointer
extern void (*asn_error)(const struct asn_buf *, const char *, ...);
is called with the current buffer (this may be NULL) and a printf(3)
style format string. There is a default error handler in the library
that prints a message starting with `ASN.1:' followed by the error
message and an optional dump of the buffer.
