DESCRIPTION

43       ASN.1 data structures can be associated with an ASN1_AUX object to
44       supply additional information about the ASN.1 structure. An ASN1_AUX
45       structure is associated with the structure during the definition of the
46       ASN.1 template. For example an ASN1_AUX structure will be associated by
47       using one of the various ASN.1 template definition macros that supply
48       auxiliary information such as ASN1_SEQUENCE_enc(), ASN1_SEQUENCE_ref(),
49       ASN1_SEQUENCE_cb_const_cb(), ASN1_SEQUENCE_const_cb(),
50       ASN1_SEQUENCE_cb() or ASN1_NDEF_SEQUENCE_cb().
51
52       An ASN1_AUX structure contains the following information.
53
54       app_data
55           Arbitrary application data
56
57       flags
58           Flags which indicate the auxiliarly functionality supported.
59
60           The ASN1_AFLG_REFCOUNT flag indicates that objects support
61           reference counting.
62
63           The ASN1_AFLG_ENCODING flag indicates that the original encoding of
64           the object will be saved.
65
66           The ASN1_AFLG_BROKEN flag is a work around for broken encoders
67           where the sequence length value may not be correct. This should
68           generally not be used.
69
70           The ASN1_AFLG_CONST_CB flag indicates that the "const" form of the
71           ASN1_AUX callback should be used in preference to the non-const
72           form.
73
74       ref_offset
75           If the ASN1_AFLG_REFCOUNT flag is set then this value is assumed to
76           be an offset into the ASN1_VALUE structure where a CRYPTO_REF_COUNT
77           may be found for the purposes of reference counting.
78
79       ref_lock
80           If the ASN1_AFLG_REFCOUNT flag is set then this value is assumed to
81           be an offset into the ASN1_VALUE structure where a CRYPTO_RWLOCK
82           may be found for the purposes of reference counting.
83
84       asn1_cb
85           A callback that will be invoked at various points during the
86           processing of the the ASN1_VALLUE. See below for further details.
87
88       enc_offset
89           Offset into the ASN1_VALUE object where the original encoding of
90           the object will be saved if the ASN1_AFLG_ENCODING flag has been
91           set.
92
93       asn1_const_cb
94           A callback that will be invoked at various points during the
95           processing of the the ASN1_VALLUE. This is used in preference to
96           the asn1_cb callback if the ASN1_AFLG_CONST_CB flag is set. See
97           below for further details.
98
99       During the processing of an ASN1_VALUE object the callbacks set via
100       asn1_cb or asn1_const_cb will be invoked as a result of various events
101       indicated via the operation parameter. The value of *in will be the
102       ASN1_VALUE object being processed based on the template in it. An
103       additional operation specific parameter may be passed in exarg. The
104       currently supported operations are as follows. The callbacks should
105       return a positive value on success or zero on error, unless otherwise
106       noted below.
107
108       ASN1_OP_NEW_PRE
109           Invoked when processing a CHOICE, SEQUENCE or NDEF_SEQUENCE
110           structure prior to an ASN1_VALUE object being allocated. The
111           callback may allocate the ASN1_VALUE itself and store it in *pval.
112           If it does so it should return 2 from the callback. On error it
113           should return 0.
114
115       ASN1_OP_NEW_POST
116           Invoked when processing a CHOICE, SEQUENCE or NDEF_SEQUENCE
117           structure after an ASN1_VALUE object has been allocated. The
118           allocated object is in *pval.
119
120       ASN1_OP_FREE_PRE
121           Invoked when processing a CHOICE, SEQUENCE or NDEF_SEQUENCE
122           structure immediately before an ASN1_VALUE is freed. If the
123           callback originally constructed the ASN1_VALUE via ASN1_OP_NEW_PRE
124           then it should free it at this point and return 2 from the
125           callback. Otherwise it should return 1 for success or 0 on error.
126
127       ASN1_OP_FREE_POST
128           Invoked when processing a CHOICE, SEQUENCE or NDEF_SEQUENCE
129           structure immediately after ASN1_VALUE sub-structures are freed.
130
131       ASN1_OP_D2I_PRE
132           Invoked when processing a CHOICE, SEQUENCE or NDEF_SEQUENCE
133           structure immediately before a "d2i" operation for the ASN1_VALUE.
134
135       ASN1_OP_D2I_POST
136           Invoked when processing a CHOICE, SEQUENCE or NDEF_SEQUENCE
137           structure immediately after a "d2i" operation for the ASN1_VALUE.
138
139       ASN1_OP_I2D_PRE
140           Invoked when processing a CHOICE, SEQUENCE or NDEF_SEQUENCE
141           structure immediately before a "i2d" operation for the ASN1_VALUE.
142
143       ASN1_OP_I2D_POST
144           Invoked when processing a CHOICE, SEQUENCE or NDEF_SEQUENCE
145           structure immediately after a "i2d" operation for the ASN1_VALUE.
146
147       ASN1_OP_PRINT_PRE
148           Invoked when processing a SEQUENCE or NDEF_SEQUENCE structure
149           immediately before printing the ASN1_VALUE. The exarg argument will
150           be a pointer to an ASN1_PRINT_ARG structure (see below).
151
152       ASN1_OP_PRINT_POST
153           Invoked when processing a SEQUENCE or NDEF_SEQUENCE structure
154           immediately after printing the ASN1_VALUE. The exarg argument will
155           be a pointer to an ASN1_PRINT_ARG structure (see below).
156
157       ASN1_OP_STREAM_PRE
158           Invoked immediately prior to streaming the ASN1_VALUE data using
159           indefinite length encoding. The exarg argument will be a pointer to
160           a ASN1_STREAM_ARG structure (see below).
161
162       ASN1_OP_STREAM_POST
163           Invoked immediately after streaming the ASN1_VALUE data using
164           indefinite length encoding. The exarg argument will be a pointer to
165           a ASN1_STREAM_ARG structure (see below).
166
167       ASN1_OP_DETACHED_PRE
168           Invoked immediately prior to processing the ASN1_VALUE data as a
169           "detached" value (as used in CMS and PKCS7). The exarg argument
170           will be a pointer to a ASN1_STREAM_ARG structure (see below).
171
172       ASN1_OP_DETACHED_POST
173           Invoked immediately after processing the ASN1_VALUE data as a
174           "detached" value (as used in CMS and PKCS7). The exarg argument
175           will be a pointer to a ASN1_STREAM_ARG structure (see below).
176
177       ASN1_OP_DUP_PRE
178           Invoked immediate prior to an ASN1_VALUE being duplicated via a
179           call to ASN1_item_dup().
180
181       ASN1_OP_DUP_POST
182           Invoked immediate after to an ASN1_VALUE has been duplicated via a
183           call to ASN1_item_dup().
184
185       ASN1_OP_GET0_LIBCTX
186           Invoked in order to obtain the OSSL_LIB_CTX associated with an
187           ASN1_VALUE if any. A pointer to an OSSL_LIB_CTX should be stored in
188           *exarg if such a value exists.
189
190       ASN1_OP_GET0_PROPQ
191           Invoked in order to obtain the property query string associated
192           with an ASN1_VALUE if any. A pointer to the property query string
193           should be stored in *exarg if such a value exists.
194
195       An ASN1_PRINT_ARG object is used during processing of ASN1_OP_PRINT_PRE
196       and ASN1_OP_PRINT_POST callback operations. It contains the following
197       information.
198
199       out The BIO being used to print the data out.
200
201       ndef_bio
202           The current number of indent spaces that should be used for
203           printing this data.

205       pctx
206           The context for the ASN1_PCTX operation.
207
208       An ASN1_STREAM_ARG object is used during processing of
209       ASN1_OP_STREAM_PRE, ASN1_OP_STREAM_POST, ASN1_OP_DETACHED_PRE and
210       ASN1_OP_DETACHED_POST callback operations. It contains the following
211       information.
212
213       out The BIO to stream through
214
215       ndef_bio
216           The BIO with filters appended
217
218       boundary
219           The streaming I/O boundary.
220

RETURN VALUES

222       The callbacks return 0 on error and a positive value on success. Some
223       operations require specific positive success values as noted above.
