objectName);*

asn1_node_const definitions

ASN1 definitions

asn1_node * element

pointer to an ASN1 structure

const char * octetName

name of the OCTECT STRING field to expand.

const char * objectName

name of the OBJECT IDENTIFIER field to use to define the type for expansion.

Expands an “OCTET STRING” element of a structure created from a DER decoding process (the asn1_der_decoding() function). The type used for expansion is the first one following the definition of the actual value of the OBJECT IDENTIFIER indicated by OBJECTNAME.

ASN1_SUCCESS if substitution OK, ASN1_ELEMENT_NOT_FOUND if objectName or octetName are not correct, ASN1_VALUE_NOT_VALID if it wasn’t possible to find the type to use for expansion, or other errors depending on DER decoding.
