DESCRIPTION
Header "DESCRIPTION" ASN.1 data structures can be associated with an ASN1_AUX object to supply additional information about the ASN.1 structure. An ASN1_AUX structure is associated with the structure during the definition of the ASN.1 template. For example an ASN1_AUX structure will be associated by using one of the various ASN.1 template definition macros that supply auxiliary information such as \fBASN1_SEQUENCE_enc(), ASN1_SEQUENCE_ref(), ASN1_SEQUENCE_cb_const_cb(), \fBASN1_SEQUENCE_const_cb(), ASN1_SEQUENCE_cb() or ASN1_NDEF_SEQUENCE_cb().

An ASN1_AUX structure contains the following information.

app_data 4
Item "app_data" Arbitrary application data
flags 4
Item "flags" Flags which indicate the auxiliarly functionality supported. .Sp The ASN1_AFLG_REFCOUNT flag indicates that objects support reference counting. .Sp The ASN1_AFLG_ENCODING flag indicates that the original encoding of the object will be saved. .Sp The ASN1_AFLG_BROKEN flag is a work around for broken encoders where the sequence length value may not be correct. This should generally not be used. .Sp The ASN1_AFLG_CONST_CB flag indicates that the "const" form of the \fBASN1_AUX callback should be used in preference to the non-const form.
ref_offset 4
Item "ref_offset" If the ASN1_AFLG_REFCOUNT flag is set then this value is assumed to be an offset into the ASN1_VALUE structure where a CRYPTO_REF_COUNT may be found for the purposes of reference counting.
ref_lock 4
Item "ref_lock" If the ASN1_AFLG_REFCOUNT flag is set then this value is assumed to be an offset into the ASN1_VALUE structure where a CRYPTO_RWLOCK may be found for the purposes of reference counting.
asn1_cb 4
Item "asn1_cb" A callback that will be invoked at various points during the processing of the the ASN1_VALLUE. See below for further details.
enc_offset 4
Item "enc_offset" Offset into the ASN1_VALUE object where the original encoding of the object will be saved if the ASN1_AFLG_ENCODING flag has been set.
asn1_const_cb 4
Item "asn1_const_cb" A callback that will be invoked at various points during the processing of the the ASN1_VALLUE. This is used in preference to the asn1_cb callback if the ASN1_AFLG_CONST_CB flag is set. See below for further details.

During the processing of an ASN1_VALUE object the callbacks set via \fIasn1_cb or asn1_const_cb will be invoked as a result of various events indicated via the operation parameter. The value of *in will be the \fBASN1_VALUE object being processed based on the template in it. An additional operation specific parameter may be passed in exarg. The currently supported operations are as follows. The callbacks should return a positive value on success or zero on error, unless otherwise noted below.

ASN1_OP_NEW_PRE 4
Item "ASN1_OP_NEW_PRE" Invoked when processing a CHOICE, SEQUENCE or NDEF_SEQUENCE structure prior to an ASN1_VALUE object being allocated. The callback may allocate the \fBASN1_VALUE itself and store it in *pval. If it does so it should return 2 from the callback. On error it should return 0.
ASN1_OP_NEW_POST 4
Item "ASN1_OP_NEW_POST" Invoked when processing a CHOICE, SEQUENCE or NDEF_SEQUENCE structure after an ASN1_VALUE object has been allocated. The allocated object is in \fI*pval.
ASN1_OP_FREE_PRE 4
Item "ASN1_OP_FREE_PRE" Invoked when processing a CHOICE, SEQUENCE or NDEF_SEQUENCE structure immediately before an ASN1_VALUE is freed. If the callback originally constructed the ASN1_VALUE via ASN1_OP_NEW_PRE then it should free it at this point and return 2 from the callback. Otherwise it should return 1 for success or 0 on error.
ASN1_OP_FREE_POST 4
Item "ASN1_OP_FREE_POST" Invoked when processing a CHOICE, SEQUENCE or NDEF_SEQUENCE structure immediately after ASN1_VALUE sub-structures are freed.
ASN1_OP_D2I_PRE 4
Item "ASN1_OP_D2I_PRE" Invoked when processing a CHOICE, SEQUENCE or NDEF_SEQUENCE structure immediately before a "d2i" operation for the ASN1_VALUE.
ASN1_OP_D2I_POST 4
Item "ASN1_OP_D2I_POST" Invoked when processing a CHOICE, SEQUENCE or NDEF_SEQUENCE structure immediately after a "d2i" operation for the ASN1_VALUE.
ASN1_OP_I2D_PRE 4
Item "ASN1_OP_I2D_PRE" Invoked when processing a CHOICE, SEQUENCE or NDEF_SEQUENCE structure immediately before a "i2d" operation for the ASN1_VALUE.
ASN1_OP_I2D_POST 4
Item "ASN1_OP_I2D_POST" Invoked when processing a CHOICE, SEQUENCE or NDEF_SEQUENCE structure immediately after a "i2d" operation for the ASN1_VALUE.
ASN1_OP_PRINT_PRE 4
Item "ASN1_OP_PRINT_PRE" Invoked when processing a SEQUENCE or NDEF_SEQUENCE structure immediately before printing the ASN1_VALUE. The exarg argument will be a pointer to an \fBASN1_PRINT_ARG structure (see below).
ASN1_OP_PRINT_POST 4
Item "ASN1_OP_PRINT_POST" Invoked when processing a SEQUENCE or NDEF_SEQUENCE structure immediately after printing the ASN1_VALUE. The exarg argument will be a pointer to an \fBASN1_PRINT_ARG structure (see below).
ASN1_OP_STREAM_PRE 4
Item "ASN1_OP_STREAM_PRE" Invoked immediately prior to streaming the ASN1_VALUE data using indefinite length encoding. The exarg argument will be a pointer to a ASN1_STREAM_ARG structure (see below).
ASN1_OP_STREAM_POST 4
Item "ASN1_OP_STREAM_POST" Invoked immediately after streaming the ASN1_VALUE data using indefinite length encoding. The exarg argument will be a pointer to a ASN1_STREAM_ARG structure (see below).
ASN1_OP_DETACHED_PRE 4
Item "ASN1_OP_DETACHED_PRE" Invoked immediately prior to processing the ASN1_VALUE data as a "detached" value (as used in CMS and PKCS7). The exarg argument will be a pointer to a \fBASN1_STREAM_ARG structure (see below).
ASN1_OP_DETACHED_POST 4
Item "ASN1_OP_DETACHED_POST" Invoked immediately after processing the ASN1_VALUE data as a "detached" value (as used in CMS and PKCS7). The exarg argument will be a pointer to a \fBASN1_STREAM_ARG structure (see below).
ASN1_OP_DUP_PRE 4
Item "ASN1_OP_DUP_PRE" Invoked immediate prior to an ASN1_VALUE being duplicated via a call to \fBASN1_item_dup().
ASN1_OP_DUP_POST 4
Item "ASN1_OP_DUP_POST" Invoked immediate after to an ASN1_VALUE has been duplicated via a call to \fBASN1_item_dup().
ASN1_OP_GET0_LIBCTX 4
Item "ASN1_OP_GET0_LIBCTX" Invoked in order to obtain the OSSL_LIB_CTX associated with an ASN1_VALUE if any. A pointer to an OSSL_LIB_CTX should be stored in *exarg if such a value exists.
ASN1_OP_GET0_PROPQ 4
Item "ASN1_OP_GET0_PROPQ" Invoked in order to obtain the property query string associated with an \fBASN1_VALUE if any. A pointer to the property query string should be stored in \fI*exarg if such a value exists.

An ASN1_PRINT_ARG object is used during processing of ASN1_OP_PRINT_PRE and ASN1_OP_PRINT_POST callback operations. It contains the following information.

out 4
Item "out" The BIO being used to print the data out.
ndef_bio 4
Item "ndef_bio" The current number of indent spaces that should be used for printing this data.
pctx 4
Item "pctx" The context for the ASN1_PCTX operation.

An ASN1_STREAM_ARG object is used during processing of ASN1_OP_STREAM_PRE, \fBASN1_OP_STREAM_POST, ASN1_OP_DETACHED_PRE and ASN1_OP_DETACHED_POST callback operations. It contains the following information.

out 4
Item "out" The BIO to stream through
ndef_bio 4
Item "ndef_bio" The BIO with filters appended
boundary 4
Item "boundary" The streaming I/O boundary.
"RETURN VALUES"
Header "RETURN VALUES" The callbacks return 0 on error and a positive value on success. Some operations require specific positive success values as noted above.
"SEE ALSO"
Header "SEE ALSO" \fBASN1_item_new_ex\|(3)
