-=head1 NAME
-
-ASN1_generate_nconf, ASN1_generate_v3 - ASN1 generation functions
-
-=head1 SYNOPSIS
-
- ASN1_TYPE *ASN1_generate_nconf(char *str, CONF *nconf);
- ASN1_TYPE *ASN1_generate_v3(char *str, X509V3_CTX *cnf);
-
-=head1 DESCRIPTION
-
-These functions generate the ASN1 encoding of a string
-in an B<ASN1_TYPE> structure.
-
-B<str> contains the string to encode B<nconf> or B<cnf> contains
-the optional configuration information where additional strings
-will be read from. B<nconf> will typically come from a config
-file wherease B<cnf> is obtained from an B<X509V3_CTX> structure
-which will typically be used by X509 v3 certificate extension
-functions. B<cnf> or B<nconf> can be set to B<NULL> if no additional
-configuration will be used.
-
-=head1 GENERATION STRING FORMAT
-
-The actual data encoded is determined by the string B<str> and
-the configuration information. The general format of the string
-is:
-
- B<[modifier,]type[:value]>
-
-That is zero or more comma separated modifiers followed by a type
-followed by an optional colon and a value. The formats of B<type>,
-B<value> and B<modifier> are explained below.
-
-=head2 SUPPORTED TYPES
-
-The supported types are listed below. Unless otherwise specified
-only the B<ASCII> format is permissible.
-
-=over 2
-
-=item B<BOOLEAN>, B<BOOL>
-
-This encodes a boolean type. The B<value> string is mandatory and
-should be B<TRUE> or B<FALSE>. Additionally B<TRUE>, B<true>, B<Y>,
-B<y>, B<YES>, B<yes>, B<FALSE>, B<false>, B<N>, B<n>, B<NO> and B<no>
-are acceptable.
-
-=item B<NULL>
-
-Encode the B<NULL> type, the B<value> string must not be present.
-
-=item B<INTEGER>, B<INT>
-
-Encodes an ASN1 B<INTEGER> type. The B<value> string represents
-the value of the integer, it can be preceeded by a minus sign and
-is normally interpreted as a decimal value unless the prefix B<0x>
-is included.
-
-=item B<ENUMERATED>, B<ENUM>
-
-Encodes the ASN1 B<ENUMERATED> type, it is otherwise identical to
-B<INTEGER>.
-
-=item B<OBJECT>, B<OID>
-
-Encodes an ASN1 B<OBJECT IDENTIFIER>, the B<value> string can be
-a short name, a long name or numerical format.
-
-=item B<UTCTIME>, B<UTC>
-
-Encodes an ASN1 B<UTCTime> structure, the value should be in
-the format B<YYMMDDHHMMSSZ>.
-
-=item B<GENERALIZEDTIME>, B<GENTIME>
-
-Encodes an ASN1 B<GeneralizedTime> structure, the value should be in
-the format B<YYYYMMDDHHMMSSZ>.
-
-=item B<OCTETSTRING>, B<OCT>
-
-Emcodes an ASN1 B<OCTET STRING>. B<value> represents the contents
-of this structure, the format strings B<ASCII> and B<HEX> can be
-used to specify the format of B<value>.
-
-=item B<BITSRING>, B<BITSTR>
-
-Emcodes an ASN1 B<BIT STRING>. B<value> represents the contents
-of this structure, the format strings B<ASCII>, B<HEX> and B<BITLIST>
-can be used to specify the format of B<value>.
-
-If the format is anything other than B<BITLIST> the number of unused
-bits is set to zero.
-
-=item B<UNIVERSALSTRING>, B<UNIV>, B<IA5>, B<IA5STRING>, B<UTF8>,
-B<UTF8String>, B<BMP>, B<BMPSTRING>, B<VISIBLESTRING>,
-B<VISIBLE>, B<PRINTABLESTRING>, B<PRINTABLE>, B<T61>,
-B<T61STRING>, B<TELETEXSTRING>, B<GeneralString>
-
-These encode the corresponding string types. B<value> represents the
-contents of this structure. The format can be B<ASCII> or B<UTF8>.
-
-=item B<SEQUENCE>, B<SEQ>, B<SET>
-
-Formats the result as an ASN1 B<SEQUENCE> or B<SET> type. B<value>
-should be a section name which will contain the contents. The
-field names in the section are ignored and the values are in the
-generated string format. If B<value> is absent then an empty SEQUENCE
-will be encoded.
-

-
-=head2 MODIFIERS
-
-Modifiers affect the following structure, they can be used to
-add EXPLICIT or IMPLICIT tagging, add wrappers or to change
-the string format of the final type and value. The supported
-formats are documented below.
-
-=over 2
-
-=item B<EXPLICIT>, B<EXP>
-
-Add an explicit tag to the following structure. This string
-should be followed by a colon and the tag value to use as a
-decimal value.
-
-By following the number with B<U>, B<A>, B<P> or B<C> UNIVERSAL,
-APPLICATION, PRIVATE or CONTEXT SPECIFIC tagging can be used,
-the default is CONTEXT SPECIFIC.
-
-=item B<IMPLICIT>, B<IMP>
-
-This is the same as B<EXPLICIT> except IMPLICIT tagging is used
-instead.
-
-=item B<OCTWRAP>, B<SEQWRAP>, B<SETWRAP>, B<BITWRAP>
-
-The following structure is surrounded by an OCTET STRING, a SEQUENCE,
-a SET or a BIT STRING respectively. For a BIT STRING the number of unused
-bits is set to zero.
-
-=item B<FORMAT>
-
-This specifies the format of the ultimate value. It should be followed
-by a colon and one of the strings B<ASCII>, B<UTF8>, B<HEX> or B<BITLIST>.
-
-If no format specifier is included then B<ASCII> is used. If B<UTF8> is specified
-then the value string must be a valid B<UTF8> string. For B<HEX> the output must
-be a set of hex digits. B<BITLIST> (which is only valid for a BIT STRING) is a
-comma separated list of set bits.

-=head1 EXAMPLES
-
-A simple IA5String:
-
- IA5STRING:Hello World
-
-An IA5String explicitly tagged:
-
- EXPLICIT:0,IA5STRING:Hello World
-
-An IA5String explicitly tagged using APPLICATION tagging:
-
- EXPLICIT:0A,IA5STRING:Hello World
-
-A more complex example using a config file to produce a
-SEQUENCE consiting of a BOOL an OID and a UTF8String:
-
-asn1 = SEQUENCE:seq_section
-
-[seq_section]
-
-field1 = BOOLEAN:TRUE
-field2 = OID:commonName
-field3 = UTF8:Third field
-
-This example produces an RSAPrivateKey structure, this is the
-key contained in the file client.pem in all OpenSSL distributions
-(note: the field names such as 'coeff' are ignored and are present just
-for clarity):
-
- asn1=SEQUENCE:private_key
