SYNOPSIS

        #include <openssl/asn1.h>

        ASN1_VALUE *ASN1_item_d2i_ex(ASN1_VALUE **pval, const unsigned char **in,
                                     long len, const ASN1_ITEM *it,

        void *ASN1_item_d2i_bio_ex(const ASN1_ITEM *it, BIO *in, void *x,
                                   OSSL_LIB_CTX *libctx, const char *propq);

        void *ASN1_item_d2i_fp(const ASN1_ITEM *it, FILE *in, void *x);

        BIO *ASN1_item_i2d_mem_bio(const ASN1_ITEM *it, const ASN1_VALUE *val);

        ASN1_STRING *ASN1_item_pack(void *obj, const ASN1_ITEM *it, ASN1_STRING **oct);

        void *ASN1_item_unpack(const ASN1_STRING *oct, const ASN1_ITEM *it);

        void *ASN1_item_unpack_ex(const ASN1_STRING *oct, const ASN1_ITEM *it,
                                 OSSL_LIB_CTX *libctx, const char *propq);


DESCRIPTION

       ASN1_item_d2i_ex() decodes the contents of the data stored in *in of
       length len which must be a DER-encoded ASN.1 structure, using the ASN.1
       template it. It places the result in *pval unless pval is NULL. If
       *pval is non-NULL on entry then the ASN1_VALUE present there will be
       reused. Otherwise a new ASN1_VALUE will be allocated. If any algorithm
       fetches are required during the process then they will use the
       OSSL_LIB_CTXprovided in the libctx parameter and the property query
       string in propq. See "ALGORITHM FETCHING" in crypto(7) for more
       information about algorithm fetching.  On exit *in will be updated to
       point to the next byte in the buffer after the decoded structure.

       ASN1_item_d2i() is the same as ASN1_item_d2i_ex() except that the
       default OSSL_LIB_CTX is used (i.e. NULL) and with a NULL property query
       string.

       ASN1_item_d2i_bio_ex() decodes the contents of its input BIO in, which
       must be a DER-encoded ASN.1 structure, using the ASN.1 template it and
       places the result in *pval unless pval is NULL.  If in is NULL it
       returns NULL, else a pointer to the parsed structure. If any algorithm
       fetches are required during the process then they will use the
       OSSL_LIB_CTX provided in the libctx parameter and the property query
       string in propq. See "ALGORITHM FETCHING" in crypto(7) for more
       information about algorithm fetching.

       ASN1_item_d2i_bio(3) is the same as ASN1_item_d2i_bio_ex() except that
       the default OSSL_LIB_CTX is used (i.e. NULL) and with a NULL property
       query string.

       ASN1_item_d2i_fp_ex() is the same as ASN1_item_d2i_bio_ex() except that
       a FILE pointer is provided instead of a BIO.

       ASN1_item_d2i_fp() is the same as ASN1_item_d2i_fp_ex() except that the
       default OSSL_LIB_CTX is used (i.e. NULL) and with a NULL property query
       string.

       ASN1_item_i2d_mem_bio() encodes the given ASN.1 value val using the
       ASN.1 template it and returns the result in a memory BIO.

       ASN1_item_pack() encodes the given ASN.1 value in obj using the ASN.1
       template it and returns an ASN1_STRING object. If the passed in *oct is
       not NULL then this is used to store the returned result, otherwise a
       new ASN1_STRING object is created. If oct is not NULL and *oct is NULL
       then the returned return is also set into *oct. If there is an error
       the optional passed in ASN1_STRING will not be freed, but the previous
       value may be cleared when ASN1_STRING_set0(*oct, NULL, 0) is called
       internally.

       ASN1_item_unpack() uses ASN1_item_d2i() to decode the DER-encoded
       ASN1_STRING oct using the ASN.1 template it.

       ASN1_item_unpack_ex() is similar to ASN1_item_unpack(), but uses
       ASN1_item_d2i_ex() so that the libctx and propq can be used when doing
       algorithm fetching.


RETURN VALUES

       ASN1_item_d2i_bio(3), ASN1_item_unpack_ex() and ASN1_item_unpack()
       return a pointer to an ASN1_VALUE or NULL on error.

       ASN1_item_i2d_mem_bio() returns a pointer to a memory BIO or NULL on
       error.

       ASN1_item_pack() returns a pointer to an ASN1_STRING or NULL on error.
