Other types such as <strong>ASN1_OCTET_STRING</strong> are simply typedef'ed to <strong>ASN1_STRING</strong> and the functions call the <strong>ASN1_STRING</strong> equivalents. <strong>ASN1_STRING</strong> is also used for some <strong>CHOICE</strong> types which consist entirely of primitive string types such as <strong>DirectoryString</strong> and <strong>Time</strong>.</p> <p>These functions should <strong>not</strong> be used to examine or modify <strong>ASN1_INTEGER</strong> or <strong>ASN1_ENUMERATED</strong> types: the relevant <strong>INTEGER</strong> or <strong>ENUMERATED</strong> utility functions should be used instead.</p> <p>In general it cannot be assumed that the data returned by ASN1_STRING_data() is null terminated or does not contain embedded nulls. The actual format of the data will depend on the actual string type itself: for example for an IA5String the data will be ASCII, for a BMPString two bytes per character in big endian format, and for a UTF8String it will be in UTF8 format.</p> <p>Similar care should be take to ensure the data is in the correct format when calling ASN1_STRING_set().</p> <p> </p> <hr /> <h1><a name="return_values">RETURN VALUES</a></h1> <p>ASN1_STRING_length() returns the length of the content of <strong>x</strong>.</p> <p>ASN1_STRING_get0_data() and ASN1_STRING_data() return an internal pointer to the data of <strong>x</strong>.</p> <p>ASN1_STRING_dup() returns a valid <strong>ASN1_STRING</strong> structure or <strong>NULL</strong> if an error occurred.</p> <p>ASN1_STRING_cmp() returns an integer greater than, equal to, or less than 0, according to whether <strong>a</strong> is greater than, equal to, or less than <strong>b</strong>.</p> <p>ASN1_STRING_set() returns 1 on success or 0 on error.</p> <p>ASN1_STRING_type() returns the type of <strong>x</strong>.</p> <p>ASN1_STRING_to_UTF8() returns the number of bytes in output string <strong>out</strong> or a negative value if an error occurred.</p> <p> </p> <hr /> <h1><a name="see_also">SEE ALSO</a></h1> <p><em>ERR_get_error(3)</em></p> <p> </p> <hr /> <h1><a name="copyright">COPYRIGHT</a></h1> <p>Copyright 2002-2020 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
