DESCRIPTION

55       The following are the basic types and structures defined for  use  with
56       the Lightweight BER library.
57
58       ber_int_t  is  a  signed  integer  of at least 32 bits.  It is commonly
59       equivalent to int.  ber_uint_t is the unsigned variant of ber_int_t.
60
61       ber_len_t is an unsigned integer of at least 32 bits used to  represent
62       a  length.   It  is commonly equivalent to a size_t.  ber_slen_t is the
63       signed variant to ber_len_t.
64
65       ber_tag_t is an unsigned integer of at least 32 bits used to  represent
66       a BER tag.  It is commonly equivalent to a unsigned long.
67
68       The  actual  definitions of the integral impl_TYPE_t types are platform
69       specific.
70
71       BerValue, commonly used as struct berval, is used to hold an  arbitrary
72       sequence  of  octets.   bv_val  points to bv_len octets.  bv_val is not
73       necessarily terminated by a NUL (zero)  octet.   ber_bvfree()  frees  a
74       BerValue, pointed to by bv, returned from this API.  If bv is NULL, the
75       routine does nothing.
76
77       ber_bvecfree() frees an array of BerValues (and the array), pointed  to
78       by  bvec,  returned  from  this API.  If bvec is NULL, the routine does
79       nothing.  ber_bvecadd() appends the  bv  pointer  to  the  bvec  array.
80       Space  for  the  array is allocated as needed.  The end of the array is
81       marked by a NULL pointer.
82
83       ber_bvarray_free() frees an array of BerValues (and the array), pointed
84       to by bvarray, returned from this API.  If bvarray is NULL, the routine
85       does nothing.  ber_bvarray_add() appends the contents of  the  BerValue
86       pointed  to  by  bv to the bvarray array.  Space for the new element is
87       allocated as needed.  The end of the array is marked by a BerValue with
88       a NULL bv_val field.
89
90       ber_bvdup()  returns  a  copy  of a BerValue.  The routine returns NULL
91       upon error (e.g. out of memory).  The c
