The string types and content are compared. + +ASN1_STRING_set() sets the data of string B<str> to the buffer +B<data> or length B<len>. The supplied data is copied. If B<len> +is -1 then the length is determined by strlen(data). + +ASN1_STRING_type() returns the type of B<x>, using standard constants +such as B<V_ASN1_OCTET_STRING>. + +ASN1_STRING_to_UTF8() converts the string B<in> to UTF8 format, the +converted data is allocated in a buffer in B<*out>. The length of +B<out> is returned or a negative error code. The buffer B<*out> +should be free using OPENSSL_free(). + +=head1 NOTES + +Almost all ASN1 types in OpenSSL are represented as an B<ASN1_STRING> +structure. Other types such as B<ASN1_OCTET_STRING> are simply typedefed +to B<ASN1_STRING> and the functions call the B<ASN1_STRING> equivalents. +B<ASN1_STRING> is also used for some B<CHOICE> types which consist +entirely of primitive string types such as B<DirectoryString> and +B<Time>. + +These functions should B<not> be used to examine or modify B<ASN1_INTEGER> +or B<ASN1_ENUMERATED> types: the relevant B<INTEGER> or B<ENUMERATED> +utility functions should be used instead. + +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 and IA5String the data will be ASCII, for a BMPString two bytes per +character in big endian format, UTF8String will be in UTF8 format. + +Similar care should be take to ensure the data is in the correct format +when calling ASN1_STRING_set(). + +=head1 RETURN VALUES + +=head1 SEE ALSO + +L<ERR_get_error(3)|ERR_get_error(3)> + +=head1 HISTORY + +=cut |
