| 133 | .Sh DESCRIPTION | ||
| 134 | These functions convert ASN.1 values from their DER encoding to | ||
| 135 | internal C structures | ||
| 136 | .Pq Dq d2i | ||
| 137 | and vice versa | ||
| 138 | .Pq Dq i2d . | ||
| 139 | Unlike the C structures which contain pointers to sub-objects, DER | ||
| 140 | is a serialized encoding, suitable for transfer over the network | ||
| 141 | and for storage in a file. | ||
| 142 | .Pp | ||
| 143 | .Fn ASN1_item_d2i | ||
| 144 | interpretes | ||
| 145 | .Pf * Fa der_in | ||
| 146 | as a DER- or BER-encoded byte array and decodes | ||
| 147 | .Fa length | ||
| 148 | bytes. | ||
| 149 | If successful, | ||
| 150 | .Pf * Fa der_in | ||
| 151 | is advanced to the byte following the parsed data. | ||
| 152 | .Pp | ||
| 153 | If decoding succeeds and | ||
| 154 | .Pf * Fa val_out | ||
| 155 | is | ||
| 156 | .Dv NULL , | ||
| 157 | a new object is allocated. | ||
| 158 | .Pp | ||
| 159 | If decoding succeeds and | ||
| 160 | .Pf * Fa val_out | ||
| 161 | is not | ||
| 162 | .Dv NULL , | ||
| 163 | it is assumed to point to a valid populated object and an attempt | ||
| 164 | is made to reuse it. | ||
| 165 | It must not be an empty structure such as one returned by | ||
| 166 | .Xr ASN1_item_new 3 | ||
| 167 | or by one of the various type-specific | ||
| 168 | .Fn *_new | ||
| 169 | functions. | ||
| 170 | This | ||
| 171 | .Dq reuse | ||
| 172 | capability is present for backward compatibility, but its use is | ||
| 173 | strongly discouraged; see the | ||
| 174 | .Sx BUGS | ||
| 175 | section below. | ||
| 176 | .Pp | ||
| 177 | .Fn ASN1_item_d2i_bio | ||
| 178 | and | ||
| 179 | .Fn ASN1_item_d2i_fp | ||
| 180 | are similar to | ||
| 181 | .Fn ASN1_item_d2i | ||
| 182 | except that they read from a | ||
| 183 | .Vt BIO | ||
| 184 | or | ||
| 185 | .Vt FILE , | ||
| 186 | respectively. | ||
| 187 | .Pp | ||
| 188 | .Fn ASN1_item_i2d | ||
| 189 | encodes the object pointed to by | ||
| 190 | .Fa val_in | ||
| 191 | into DER format. | ||
| 192 | If | ||
| 193 | .Fa der_out | ||
| 194 | is not | ||
| 195 | .Dv NULL , | ||
| 196 | it writes the DER-encoded data to the buffer at | ||
| 197 | .Pf * Fa der_out | ||
| 198 | and increments it to point after the data just written. | ||
| 199 | .Pp | ||
| 200 | If | ||
| 201 | .Pf * Fa der_out | ||
| 202 | is | ||
| 203 | .Dv NULL , | ||
| 204 | memory is allocated for a buffer, and | ||
| 205 | .Pf * Fa der_out | ||
| 206 | is not incremented, but points to the start of the data just written. | ||
| 207 | .Pp | ||
| 208 | .Fn ASN1_item_i2d_bio | ||
| 209 | and | ||
| 210 | .Fn ASN1_item_i2d_fp | ||
| 211 | are similar to | ||
| 212 | .Fn ASN1_item_i2d | ||
| 213 | except that they write to a | ||
| 214 | .Vt BIO | ||
| 215 | or | ||
| 216 | .Vt FILE , | ||
| 217 | respectively. | ||
| 218 | .Pp | ||
| 219 | .Fn ASN1_item_dup | ||
| 220 | creates a deep copy of | ||
| 221 | .Fa val_in | ||
| 222 | by calling | ||
| 223 | .Fn ASN1_item_i2d | ||
| 224 | and | ||
| 225 | .Fn ASN1_item_d2i . | ||
| 226 | .Sh RETURN VALUES | ||
| 227 | If succesful, | ||
| 228 | .Fn ASN1_item_d2i , | ||
| 229 | .Fn ASN1_item_d2i_bio , | ||
| 230 | and | ||
| 231 | .Fn ASN1_item_d2i_fp | ||
| 232 | return a pointer to the decoded ASN.1 value. | ||
| 233 | In addition, if | ||
| 234 | .Fa val_out | ||
| 235 | is not | ||
| 236 | .Dv NULL , | ||
| 237 | the pointer is also written to | ||
| 238 | .Pf * Fa val_out. | ||
| 239 | If an error occurs, | ||
| 240 | .Dv NULL | ||
| 241 | is returned. | ||
| 242 | .Pp | ||
| 243 | .Fn ASN1_item_i2d | ||
| 244 | returns the number of bytes written | ||
| 245 | or a negative value if an error occurs. | ||
| 246 | .Pp | ||
| 247 | .Fn ASN1_item_i2d_bio | ||
| 248 | and | ||
| 249 | .Fn ASN1_item_i2d_fp | ||
| 250 | return 1 for success or 0 for failure. | ||
| 251 | .Pp | ||
| 252 | .Fn ASN1_item_dup | ||
| 253 | returns the new | ||
| 254 | .Vt ASN1_VALUE | ||
| 255 | object or | ||
| 256 | .Dv NULL | ||
| 257 | if an error occurs. | ||
| 258 | .Sh EXAMPLES | ||
| 259 | Many type-specific wrapper functions exist. | ||
| 260 | Using those wrappers is recommended in application code | ||
| 261 | because it restores part of the type safety that the low-level | ||
| 262 | interfaces described in the present manual page lack. | ||
| 263 | .Pp | ||
| 264 | For example, to allocate a buffer and write the DER encoding of an | ||
| 265 | .Vt X509 | ||
| 266 | object into it: | ||
| 267 | .Bd -literal -offset indent | ||
| 268 | X509 *x; | ||
| 269 | unsigned char *buf; | ||
| 270 | int len; | ||
| 271 | |||
| 272 | buf = NULL; | ||
| 273 | len = i2d_X509(x, &buf); | ||
| 274 | if (len < 0) | ||
| 275 | /* error */ | ||
| 276 | .Ed | ||
| 277 | .Pp | ||
| 278 | Attempt to decode a buffer: | ||
| 279 | .Bd -literal -offset indent | ||
| 280 | X509 *x; | ||
| 281 | unsigned char *buf, *p; | ||
| 282 | int len; | ||
| 283 | |||
| 284 | /* Set up buf and len to point to the input buffer. */ | ||
| 285 | p = buf; | ||
| 286 | x = d2i_X509(NULL, &p, len); | ||
| 287 | if (x == NULL) | ||
| 288 | /* error */ | ||
| 289 | .Ed | ||
| 290 | .Pp | ||
| 291 | Equivalent technique: | ||
| 292 | .Bd -literal -offset indent | ||
| 293 | X509 *x; | ||
| 294 | unsigned char *buf, *p; | ||
| 295 | int len; | ||
| 296 | |||
| 297 | /* Set up buf and len to point to the input buffer. */ | ||
| 298 | p = buf; | ||
| 299 | x = NULL; | ||
| 300 | |||
| 301 | if (d2i_X509(&x, &p, len) == NULL) | ||
| 302 | /* error */ | ||
| 303 | .Ed | ||
| 304 | .Sh SEE ALSO | ||
| 305 | .Xr ASN1_item_new 3 | ||
| 306 | .Sh CAVEATS | ||
| 307 | If the type described by | ||
| 308 | .Fa it | ||
| 309 | fails to match the true type of | ||
| 310 | .Fa val_in | ||
| 311 | or | ||
| 312 | .Pf * Fa val_out , | ||
| 313 | buffer overflows and segmentation faults are likely to occur. | ||
| 314 | For more details about why the type | ||
| 315 | .Vt ASN1_VALUE | ||
| 316 | constitutes dangerous user interface design, see | ||
| 317 | .Xr ASN1_item_new 3 . | ||
| 318 | .Pp | ||
| 319 | The encoded data is in binary form and may contain embedded NUL bytes. | ||
| 320 | Functions such as | ||
| 321 | .Xr strlen 3 | ||
| 322 | will not return the correct length of the encoded data. | ||
| 323 | .Pp | ||
| 324 | While the way that | ||
| 325 | .Pf * Fa der_in | ||
| 326 | and | ||
| 327 | .Pf * Fa der_out | ||
| 328 | are incremented after the operation supports the typical usage | ||
| 329 | patterns of reading or writing one object after another, this | ||
| 330 | behaviour can trap the unwary. | ||
| 331 | .Pp | ||
| 332 | Using a temporary pointer into the buffer is mandatory. | ||
| 333 | A common mistake is to attempt to use a buffer directly as follows: | ||
| 334 | .Bd -literal -offset indent | ||
| 335 | X509 *x; | ||
| 336 | unsigned char *buf; | ||
| 337 | int len; | ||
| 338 | |||
| 339 | len = i2d_X509(x, NULL); | ||
| 340 | buf = malloc(len); | ||
| 341 | i2d_X509(x, &buf); | ||
| 342 | /* do something with buf[] */ | ||
| 343 | free(buf); | ||
| 344 | .Ed | ||
| 345 | .Pp | ||
| 346 | This code will result in | ||
| 347 | .Va buf | ||
| 348 | apparently containing garbage because it was incremented during | ||
| 349 | .Fn i2d_X509 | ||
| 350 | to point after the data just written. | ||
| 351 | Also | ||
| 352 | .Va buf | ||
| 353 | will no longer contain the pointer allocated by | ||
| 354 | .Xr malloc 3 | ||
| 355 | and the subsequent call to | ||
| 356 | .Xr free 3 | ||
| 357 | is likely to crash. | ||
| 358 | .Pp | ||
| 359 | Another trap to avoid is misuse of the | ||
| 360 | .Fa val_out | ||
| 361 | argument: | ||
| 362 | .Bd -literal -offset indent | ||
| 363 | X509 *x; | ||
| 364 | |||
| 365 | if (d2i_X509(&x, &p, len) == NULL) | ||
| 366 | /* error */ | ||
| 367 | .Ed | ||
| 368 | .Pp | ||
| 369 | This will probably crash somewhere in | ||
| 370 | .Fn d2i_X509 | ||
| 371 | because | ||
| 372 | .Va x | ||
| 373 | is uninitialized and an attempt will be made to interpret its invalid | ||
| 374 | content as an | ||
| 375 | .Vt X509 | ||
| 376 | object, typically causing a segmentation violation. | ||
| 377 | If | ||
| 378 | .Va x | ||
| 379 | is set to | ||
| 380 | .Dv NULL | ||
| 381 | first, then this will not happen. | ||
| 382 | .Sh BUGS | ||
| 383 | If the | ||
| 384 | .Dq reuse | ||
| 385 | capability is used, a valid object is passed in via | ||
| 386 | .Pf * Fa val_out , | ||
| 387 | and an error occurs, then the object is not freed and may be left | ||
| 388 | in an invalid or inconsistent state. | ||
| 389 | .Pp | ||
| 390 | In some versions of OpenSSL, the | ||
| 391 | .Dq reuse | ||
| 392 | behaviour is broken such that some parts of the reused object may | ||
| 393 | persist if they are not present in the new one. | ||
| 394 | .Pp | ||
| 395 | In many versions of OpenSSL, | ||
| 396 | .Fn ASN1_item_i2d | ||
| 397 | will not return an error if mandatory fields are not initialized | ||
| 398 | due to a programming error. | ||
| 399 | In that case, the encoded structure may contain invalid data and | ||
| 400 | some fields may be missing entirely, such that trying to parse it | ||
| 401 | with | ||
| 402 | .Fn ASN1_item_d2i | ||
| 403 | may fail. | ||
| 404 | .Pp | ||
| 405 | Any function which encodes an object may return a stale encoding | ||
| 406 | if the object has been modified after deserialization or previous | ||
| 407 | serialization. | ||
| 408 | This is because some objects cache the encoding for efficiency reasons. | ||

| 42 | frees an ASN.1 value of the type described by | ||
| 43 | .Fa it . | ||
| 44 | If the true type of | ||
| 45 | .Fa val_in | ||
| 46 | fails to match the specified | ||
| 47 | .Fa it , | ||
| 48 | buffer overflows and segmentation faults are likely to occur. | ||
| 49 | It is not possible to recover the type of an | ||
| 50 | .Vt ASN1_VALUE | ||
| 51 | object by inspecting it; the type always needs to be remembered | ||
| 52 | separately. | ||
| 53 | .Pp | ||
| 54 | .Vt ASN1_VALUE | ||
| 55 | is an incomplete type, and pointers to it always require casting | ||
| 56 | to the correct complete type before they can be dereferenced. | ||
| 57 | For all practical purposes, a pointer to | ||
| 58 | .Vt ASN1_VALUE | ||
| 59 | is equivalent to a | ||
| 60 | .Vt void | ||
| 61 | pointer. | ||
| 62 | .Pp | ||
| 63 | Depending on | ||
| 64 | .Fa it , | ||
| 65 | there are more than 150 different types that | ||
| 66 | .Fn ASN1_item_new | ||
| 67 | may return. | ||
| 68 | Most of them are pointers to structures or pointers to arrays of | ||
| 69 | structures, but there are a few exceptions, for example: | ||
| 70 | If | ||
| 71 | .Fa it | ||
| 72 | is | ||
| 73 | .Dv ASN1_NULL_it , | ||
| 74 | .Fn ASN1_item_new | ||
| 75 | returns a specific invalid pointer representing the unique | ||
| 76 | .Vt ASN1_NULL | ||
| 77 | object. | ||
| 78 | If | ||
| 79 | .Fa it | ||
| 80 | is | ||
| 81 | .Dv ASN1_BOOLEAN_it | ||
| 82 | or | ||
| 83 | .Dv LONG_it , | ||
| 84 | .Fn ASN1_item_new | ||
| 85 | does not return a pointer at all, but a | ||
| 86 | .Vt long | ||
| 87 | value cast to | ||
| 88 | .Vt ASN1_VALUE * . | ||
| 89 | .Sh RETURN VALUES | ||
| 90 | .Fn ASN1_item_new | ||
| 91 | returns the new | ||
| 92 | .Vt ASN1_VALUE | ||
| 93 | object or | ||
| 94 | .Dv NULL | ||
| 95 | if an error occurs. | ||

| 97 | .Xr ASN1_item_d2i 3 , | ||

| 99 | .Sh BUGS | ||
| 100 | The | ||
| 101 | .Vt ASN1_VALUE | ||
| 102 | type compromises type safety and invites programming mistakes that | ||
| 103 | will typically have severe consequences. | ||
