int asn1_encode_simple_der(unsigned int */etype/, const unsigned char

int * tl_len);*

unsigned int etype

The type of the string to be encoded (ASN1_ETYPE_)

const unsigned char * str

the string data.

unsigned int str_len

the string length

unsigned char * tl

the encoded tag and length

unsigned int * tl_len

the bytes of the tl field

Creates the DER encoding for various simple ASN.1 types like strings etc. It stores the tag and length in tl , which should have space for at least ASN1_MAX_TL_SIZE bytes. Initially tl_len should contain the size of tl .

The complete DER encoding should consist of the value in tl appended with the provided str .

ASN1_SUCCESS if successful or an error value.
