  166. These functions allow an \fB\s-1ASN1_STRING\s0\fR structure to be manipulated.
  167. .PP
  168. \&\fBASN1_STRING_length()\fR returns the length of the content of \fIx\fR.
  169. .PP
  170. \&\fBASN1_STRING_get0_data()\fR returns an internal pointer to the data of \fIx\fR.
  171. Since this is an internal pointer it should \fBnot\fR be freed or
  172. modified in any way.
  173. .PP
  174. \&\fBASN1_STRING_data()\fR is similar to \fBASN1_STRING_get0_data()\fR except the
  175. returned value is not constant. This function is deprecated:
  176. applications should use \fBASN1_STRING_get0_data()\fR instead.
  177. .PP
  178. \&\fBASN1_STRING_dup()\fR returns a copy of the structure \fIa\fR.
  179. .PP
  180. \&\fBASN1_STRING_cmp()\fR compares \fIa\fR and \fIb\fR returning 0 if the two
  181. are identical. The string types and content are compared.
  182. .PP
  183. \&\fBASN1_STRING_set()\fR sets the data of string \fIstr\fR to the buffer
  184. \&\fIdata\fR or length \fIlen\fR. The supplied data is copied. If \fIlen\fR
  185. is \-1 then the length is determined by strlen(data).
  186. .PP
  187. \&\fBASN1_STRING_type()\fR returns the type of \fIx\fR, using standard constants
  188. such as \fBV_ASN1_OCTET_STRING\fR.
  189. .PP
  190. \&\fBASN1_STRING_to_UTF8()\fR converts the string \fIin\fR to \s-1UTF8\s0 format, the
  191. converted data is allocated in a buffer in \fI*out\fR. The length of
  192. \&\fIout\fR is returned or a negative error code. The buffer \fI*out\fR
  193. should be freed using \fBOPENSSL_free()\fR.
  194. .SH "NOTES"
  195. .IX Header "NOTES"
  196. Almost all \s-1ASN1\s0 types in OpenSSL are represented as an \fB\s-1ASN1_STRING\s0\fR
  197. structure. Other types such as \fB\s-1ASN1_OCTET_STRING\s0\fR are simply typedef'ed
  198. to \fB\s-1ASN1_STRING\s0\fR and the functions call the \fB\s-1ASN1_STRING\s0\fR equivalents.
  199. \&\fB\s-1ASN1_STRING\s0\fR is also used for some \fB\s-1CHOICE\s0\fR types which consist
  200. entirely of primitive string types such as \fBDirectoryString\fR and
  201. \&\fBTime\fR.
  202. .PP
  203. These functions should \fBnot\fR be used to examine or modify \fB\s-1ASN1_INTEGER\s0\fR
  204. or \fB\s-1ASN1_ENUMERATED\s0\fR types: the relevant \fB\s-1INTEGER\s0\fR or \fB\s-1ENUMERATED\s0\fR
  205. utility functions should be used instead.
  206. .PP
  207. In general it cannot be assumed that the data returned by \fBASN1_STRING_data()\fR
  208. is null terminated or does not contain embedded nulls. The actual format
  209. of the data will depend on the actual string type itself: for example
  210. for an IA5String the data will be \s-1ASCII,\s0 for a BMPString two bytes per
  211. character in big endian format, and for a UTF8String it will be in \s-1UTF8\s0 format.
  212. .PP
  213. Similar care should be take to ensure the data is in the correct format
  214. when calling \fBASN1_STRING_set()\fR.
  215. .SH "RETURN VALUES"

  217. \&\fBASN1_STRING_length()\fR returns the length of the content of \fIx\fR.
  218. .PP
  219. \&\fBASN1_STRING_get0_data()\fR and \fBASN1_STRING_data()\fR return an internal pointer to
  220. the data of \fIx\fR.
  221. .PP
  222. \&\fBASN1_STRING_dup()\fR returns a valid \fB\s-1ASN1_STRING\s0\fR structure or \s-1NULL\s0 if an
  223. error occurred.
  224. .PP
  225. \&\fBASN1_STRING_cmp()\fR returns an integer greater than, equal to, or less than 0,
  226. according to whether \fIa\fR is greater than, equal to, or less than \fIb\fR.
  227. .PP
  228. \&\fBASN1_STRING_set()\fR returns 1 on success or 0 on error.
  229. .PP
  230. \&\fBASN1_STRING_type()\fR returns the type of \fIx\fR.
  231. .PP
  232. \&\fBASN1_STRING_to_UTF8()\fR returns the number of bytes in output string \fIout\fR or a
  233. negative value if an error occurred.
