The version of BER these routines support is the one defined for the LDAP protocol. The encoding rules are the same as BER, except that only definite form lengths are used, and bitstrings and octet strings are always encoded in primitive form. This man page describes the decoding routines in the lber library. See .BR lber-encode (3) for details on the corresponding encoding routines. Consult .BR lber-types (3) for information about types, allocators, and deallocators. .LP Normally, the only routines that need to be called by an application are .BR ber_get_next () to get the next BER element and .BR ber_scanf () to do the actual decoding. In some cases, .BR ber_peek_tag () may also need to be called in normal usage. The other routines are provided for those applications that need more control than .BR ber_scanf () provides. In general, these routines return the tag of the element decoded, or LBER_ERROR if an error occurred. .LP The .BR ber_get_next () routine is used to read the next BER element from the given Sockbuf, \fIsb\fP. It strips off and returns the leading tag, strips off and returns the length of the entire element in \fIlen\fP, and sets up \fIber\fP for subsequent calls to .BR ber_scanf () et al to decode the element. See .BR lber-sockbuf (3) for details of the Sockbuf implementation of the \fIsb\fP parameter. .LP The .BR ber_scanf () routine is used to decode a BER element in much the same way that .BR scanf (3) works. It reads from \fIber\fP, a pointer to a BerElement such as returned by .BR ber_get_next (), interprets the bytes according to the format string \fIfmt\fP, and stores the results in its additional arguments. The format string contains conversion specifications which are used to direct the interpretation of the BER element. The format string can contain the following characters. .RS .LP .TP 3 .B a Octet string. A char should be supplied.

.LP
These routines provide a subroutine interface to a simplified
implementation of the Basic Encoding Rules of ASN.1.  The version
of BER these routines support is the one defined for the LDAP
protocol.  The encoding rules are the same as BER, except that 
only definite form lengths are used, and bitstrings and octet strings
are always encoded in primitive form.  This man page
describes the decoding routines in the lber library.  See
.BR lber-encode (3)
for details on the corresponding encoding routines.
Consult
.BR lber-types (3)
for information about types, allocators, and deallocators.
.LP
Normally, the only routines that need to be called by an application
are
.BR ber_get_next ()
to get the next BER element and
.BR ber_scanf ()
to do the actual decoding.  In some cases,
.BR ber_peek_tag ()
may also need to be called in normal usage.  The other routines are
provided for those applications that need more control than
.BR ber_scanf ()
provides.  In
general, these routines return the tag of the element decoded, or
LBER_ERROR if an error occurred.
.LP
The
.BR ber_get_next ()
routine is used to read the next BER element from the given Sockbuf,
\fIsb\fP.  It strips off and returns the leading tag, strips off and
returns the length of the entire element in \fIlen\fP, and sets up
\fIber\fP for subsequent calls to 
.BR ber_scanf ()
et al to decode the element. See
.BR lber-sockbuf (3)
for details of the Sockbuf implementation of the \fIsb\fP parameter.
.LP
The
.BR ber_scanf ()
routine is used to decode a BER element in much the same way that
.BR scanf (3)
works.  It reads from \fIber\fP, a pointer to a BerElement
such as returned by
.BR ber_get_next (),
interprets the bytes according to the format string \fIfmt\fP, and stores the
results in its additional arguments.  The format string contains
conversion specifications which are used to direct the interpretation
of the BER element.  The format string can contain the following
characters.

.TP 3
.B a
Octet string.  A char ** should be supplied.  Memory is allocated,
filled with the contents of the octet string, null-terminated, and
returned in the parameter.  The caller should free the returned
string using
.BR ber_memfree ().
.TP
.B A
Octet string.  A variant of "\fBa\fP".  A char ** should be supplied.
Memory is allocated, filled with the contents of the octet string,

string would result; in that case, the arg is set to NULL.
The caller should free the returned string using
.BR ber_memfree ().
.TP
.B s
Octet string.  A char * buffer should be supplied, followed by a pointer to a

containing the octet string and its length.
The caller should free the returned structure using
.BR ber_bvfree ().
.TP

Null.  No parameter is required.  The element is simply skipped if
it is recognized.
.TP
.B v
Sequence of octet strings.  A char *** should be supplied, which upon
return points to a dynamically allocated null-terminated array of char *'s
containing the octet strings.  NULL is returned if the sequence is empty.
The caller should free the returned array and octet strings using
.BR ber_memvfree ().
.TP
.B V
Sequence of octet strings with lengths.
A struct berval *** should be supplied, which upon
return points to a dynamically allocated null-terminated array of

of the previous three formats.
A void ** (ptr) should be supplied, followed by a ber_len_t * (len)
and a ber_len_t (off).

whose elements are all of size (*len).  A struct berval will be filled
starting at offset (off) in each element.  The strings in each struct
berval reside in memory assigned to the BerElement and must not be
freed by the caller.  The array is terminated by a struct berval
with a NULL bv_val string pointer.  NULL is returned if the sequence
is empty.  The number of elements in the array is also stored
in (*len) on return.  The caller should free the returned array using
.BR ber_memfree ().

The
.BR ber_get_int ()
routine tries to interpret the next element as an integer,
returning the result in \fInum\fP.  The tag of whatever it finds is returned
on success, LBER_ERROR (\-1) on failure.
.LP
The
.BR ber_get_stringb ()
routine is used to read an octet string into a
preallocated buffer.  The \fIlen\fP parameter should be initialized to
the size of the buffer, and will contain the length of the octet string
read upon return.  The buffer should be big enough to take the octet
string value plus a terminating NULL byte.
.LP
The
.BR ber_get_stringa ()
routine is used to dynamically allocate space into
which an octet string is read.
The caller should free the returned string using
.BR ber_memfree().
.LP
The
.BR ber_get_stringal ()
routine is used to dynamically allocate space
into which an octet string and its length are read.  It takes a
struct berval **, and returns the result in this parameter.
The caller should free the returned structure using
.BR ber_bvfree().
.LP
The
.BR ber_get_stringbv ()
routine is used to read an octet string and its length into the 
provided struct berval *. If the \fIalloc\fP parameter is zero, the string
will reside in memory assigned to the BerElement, and must not be freed
by the caller. If the \fIalloc\fP parameter is non-zero, the string will be
copied into dynamically allocated space which should be returned using
.BR ber_memfree ().
.LP
The
.BR ber_get_null ()
routine is used to read a NULL element.  It returns
the tag of the element it skips over.
.LP
The
.BR ber_get_boolean ()
routine is used to read a boolean value.  It is called the same way that
.BR ber_get_int ()
is called.
.LP
The
.BR ber_get_enum ()
routine is used to read a enumeration value.  It is called the same way that
.BR ber_get_int ()
is called.
.LP
The

routine is used to read a bitstring value.  It
takes a char ** which will hold the dynamically allocated bits, followed by an
ber_len_t *, which will point to the length (in bits) of the bitstring returned.
The caller should free the returned string using
.BR ber_memfree ().
.LP
The
.BR ber_first_element ()
routine is used to return the tag and length
of the first element in a set or sequence.  It also returns in \fIcookie\fP
a magic cookie parameter that should be passed to subsequent calls to
ber_next_element(), which returns similar information.
.SH EXAMPLES
Assume the variable \fIber\fP contains a lightweight BER encoding of
the following ASN.1 object:

.LP
The element can be decoded using

.SH ERRORS
If an error occurs during decoding, generally these routines return
LBER_ERROR ((ber_tag_t)\-1).
