.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
These functions allow an \fB\s-1ASN1_TYPE\s0\fR structure to be manipulated. The
\&\fB\s-1ASN1_TYPE\s0\fR structure can contain any \s-1ASN.1\s0 type or constructed type
such as a \s-1SEQUENCE:\s0 it is effectively equivalent to the \s-1ASN.1 ANY\s0 type.
.PP
\&\fBASN1_TYPE_get()\fR returns the type of \fIa\fR or 0 if it fails.
.PP
\&\fBASN1_TYPE_set()\fR sets the value of \fIa\fR to \fItype\fR and \fIvalue\fR. This
function uses the pointer \fIvalue\fR internally so it must \fBnot\fR be freed
up after the call.
.PP
\&\fBASN1_TYPE_set1()\fR sets the value of \fIa\fR to \fItype\fR a copy of \fIvalue\fR.
.PP
\&\fBASN1_TYPE_cmp()\fR compares \s-1ASN.1\s0 types \fIa\fR and \fIb\fR and returns 0 if
they are identical and nonzero otherwise.
.PP
\&\fBASN1_TYPE_unpack_sequence()\fR attempts to parse the \s-1SEQUENCE\s0 present in
\&\fIt\fR using the \s-1ASN.1\s0 structure \fIit\fR. If successful it returns a pointer
to the \s-1ASN.1\s0 structure corresponding to \fIit\fR which must be freed by the
caller. If it fails it return \s-1NULL.\s0
.PP
\&\fBASN1_TYPE_pack_sequence()\fR attempts to encode the \s-1ASN.1\s0 structure \fIs\fR
corresponding to \fIit\fR into an \fB\s-1ASN1_TYPE\s0\fR. If successful the encoded
\&\fB\s-1ASN1_TYPE\s0\fR is returned. If \fIt\fR and \fI*t\fR are not \s-1NULL\s0 the encoded type
is written to \fIt\fR overwriting any existing data. If \fIt\fR is not \s-1NULL\s0
but \fI*t\fR is \s-1NULL\s0 the returned \fB\s-1ASN1_TYPE\s0\fR is written to \fI*t\fR.
.SH "NOTES"
.IX Header "NOTES"
The type and meaning of the \fIvalue\fR parameter for \fBASN1_TYPE_set()\fR and
\&\fBASN1_TYPE_set1()\fR is determined by the \fItype\fR parameter.
If \fItype\fR is \fBV_ASN1_NULL\fR \fIvalue\fR is ignored. If \fItype\fR is
\&\fBV_ASN1_BOOLEAN\fR
then the boolean is set to \s-1TRUE\s0 if \fIvalue\fR is not \s-1NULL.\s0 If \fItype\fR is
\&\fBV_ASN1_OBJECT\fR then value is an \fB\s-1ASN1_OBJECT\s0\fR structure. Otherwise \fItype\fR
is and \fB\s-1ASN1_STRING\s0\fR structure. If \fItype\fR corresponds to a primitive type
(or a string type) then the contents of the \fB\s-1ASN1_STRING\s0\fR contain the content
octets of the type. If \fItype\fR corresponds to a constructed type or
a tagged type (\fBV_ASN1_SEQUENCE\fR, \fBV_ASN1_SET\fR or \fBV_ASN1_OTHER\fR) then the
\&\fB\s-1ASN1_STRING\s0\fR contains the entire \s-1ASN.1\s0 encoding verbatim (including tag and
length octets).
.PP
\&\fBASN1_TYPE_cmp()\fR may not return zero if two types are equivalent but have
different encodings. For example the single content octet of the boolean \s-1TRUE\s0
value under \s-1BER\s0 can have any nonzero encoding but \fBASN1_TYPE_cmp()\fR will
only return zero if the values are the same.
.PP
If either or both of the parameters passed to \fBASN1_TYPE_cmp()\fR is \s-1NULL\s0 the
return value is nonzero. Technically if both parameters are \s-1NULL\s0 the two
types could be absent \s-1OPTIONAL\s0 fields and so should match, however, passing
\&\s-1NULL\s0 values could also indicate a programming error (for example an
unparsable type which returns \s-1NULL\s0) for types which do \fBnot\fR match. So
applications should handle the case of two absent values separately.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fBASN1_TYPE_get()\fR returns the type of the \fB\s-1ASN1_TYPE\s0\fR argument.
.PP
\&\fBASN1_TYPE_set()\fR does not return a value.
.PP
\&\fBASN1_TYPE_set1()\fR returns 1 for success and 0 for failure.
.PP
\&\fBASN1_TYPE_cmp()\fR returns 0 if the types are identical and nonzero otherwise.
.PP
\&\fBASN1_TYPE_unpack_sequence()\fR returns a pointer to an \s-1ASN.1\s0 structure or
\&\s-1NULL\s0 on failure.
.PP
\&\fBASN1_TYPE_pack_sequence()\fR return an \fB\s-1ASN1_TYPE\s0\fR structure if it succeeds or
\&\s-1NULL\s0 on failure.
