.TH scan_asn1derlength 3 |

.SH NAME |
|
scan_asn1derlength \- decode an unsigned integer from ASN.1 DER length encoding |
|
.SH SYNTAX |
|
.B #include <libowfat/scan.h> |
|
|
|
size_t \fBscan_asn1derlength\fP(const char *\fIsrc\fR,size_t \fIlen\fR,unsigned long long *\fIdest\fR); |
|
.SH DESCRIPTION |
|
scan_asn1derlength decodes an unsigned integer in ASN.1 DER length encoding |
|
from a memory area holding binary data. It writes the decode value in |
|
\fIdest\fR and returns the number of bytes it read from \fIsrc\fR. |
|
|
|
scan_asn1derlength never reads more than \fIlen\fR bytes from \fIsrc\fR. If the |
|
sequence is longer than that, or the memory area contains an invalid |
|
sequence, scan_asn1derlength returns 0 and does not touch \fIdest\fR. |
|
|
|
The length of the longest spec-compliant ASN.1 DER length is 128 bytes, |
|
but this implementation will return an error if the value does not fit |
|
into the target integer type. In practice the largest sequence is |
|
sizeof(*dest)+1. |
|
|
|
This implementation will reject values that are not encoded in the |
|
minimum amount of bytes. |
|
|
|
In addition to reading the length value, this implementation will also |
|
validate the length value. If the length value is so large that the data |
|
would not fit in the source buffer, it will return a failure. If you |
|
only want to parse the length value without this check, use |
|
scan_asn1derlengthvalue() instead. |
