42=head1 DESCRIPTION
43
44ASN.1 data structures can be associated with an B<ASN1_AUX> object to supply
45additional information about the ASN.1 structure. An B<ASN1_AUX> structure is
46associated with the structure during the definition of the ASN.1 template. For
47example an B<ASN1_AUX> structure will be associated by using one of the various
48ASN.1 template definition macros that supply auxilliary information such as
49ASN1_SEQUENCE_enc(), ASN1_SEQUENCE_ref(), ASN1_SEQUENCE_cb_const_cb(),
50ASN1_SEQUENCE_const_cb(), ASN1_SEQUENCE_cb() or ASN1_NDEF_SEQUENCE_cb().
51
52An B<ASN1_AUX> structure contains the following information.
53
54=over 4
55
56=item I<app_data>
57
58Arbitrary application data
59
60=item I<flags>
61
62Flags which indicate the auxiliarly functionality supported.
63
64The B<ASN1_AFLG_REFCOUNT> flag indicates that objects support reference counting.
65
66The B<ASN1_AFLG_ENCODING> flag indicates that the original encoding of the
67object will be saved.
68
69The B<ASN1_AFLG_BROKEN> flag is a work around for broken encoders where the
70sequence length value may not be correct. This should generally not be used.
71
72The B<ASN1_AFLG_CONST_CB> flag indicates that the "const" form of the
73B<ASN1_AUX> callback should be used in preference to the non-const form.
74
75=item I<ref_offset>
76
77If the B<ASN1_AFLG_REFCOUNT> flag is set then this value is assumed to be an
78offset into the B<ASN1_VALUE> structure where a B<CRYPTO_REF_COUNT> may be
79found for the purposes of reference counting.
80
81=item I<ref_lock>
82
83If the B<ASN1_AFLG_REFCOUNT> flag is set then this value is assumed to be an
84offset into the B<ASN1_VALUE> structure where a B<CRYPTO_RWLOCK> may be
85found for the purposes of reference counting.
86
87=item I<asn1_cb>
88
89A callback that will be invoked at various points during the processing of
90the the B<ASN1_VALLUE>. See below for further details.
91
92=item I<enc_offset>
93
94Offset into the B<ASN1_VALUE> object where the original encoding of the object
95will be saved if the B<ASN1_AFLG_ENCODING> flag has been set.
96
97=item I<asn1_const_cb>
98
99A callback that will be invoked at various points during the processing of
100the the B<ASN1_VALLUE>. This is used in preference to the I<asn1_cb> callback if
101the B<ASN1_AFLG_CONST_CB> flag is set. See below for further details.
102
103=back
104
105During the processing of an B<ASN1_VALUE> object the callbacks set via
106I<asn1_cb> or I<asn1_const_cb> will be invoked as a result of various events
107indicated via the I<operation> parameter. The value of I<*in> will be the
108B<ASN1_VALUE> object being processed based on the template in I<it>. An
109additional operation specific parameter may be passed in I<exarg>. The currently
110supported operations are as follows. The callbacks should return a positive
111value on success or zero on error, unless otherwise noted below.
112
113=over 4
114
115=item B<ASN1_OP_NEW_PRE>
116
117Invoked when processing a B<CHOICE>, B<SEQUENCE> or B<NDEF_SEQUENCE> structure
118prior to an B<ASN1_VALUE> object being allocated. The callback may allocate the
119B<ASN1_VALUE> itself and store it in I<*pval>. If it does so it should return 2
120from the callback. On error it should return 0.
121
122=item B<ASN1_OP_NEW_POST>
123
124Invoked when processing a B<CHOICE>, B<SEQUENCE> or B<NDEF_SEQUENCE> structure
125after an B<ASN1_VALUE> object has been allocated. The allocated object is in
126I<*pval>.
127
128=item B<ASN1_OP_FREE_PRE>
129
130Invoked when processing a B<CHOICE>, B<SEQUENCE> or B<NDEF_SEQUENCE> structure
131immediately before an B<ASN1_VALUE> is freed. If the callback originally
132constructed the B<ASN1_VALUE> via B<ASN1_OP_NEW_PRE> then it should free it at
133this point and return 2 from the callback. Otherwise it should return 1 for
134success or 0 on error.
135
136=item B<ASN1_OP_FREE_POST>
137
138Invoked when processing a B<CHOICE>, B<SEQUENCE> or B<NDEF_SEQUENCE> structure
139immediately after B<ASN1_VALUE> sub-structures are freed.
140
141=item B<ASN1_OP_D2I_PRE>
142
143Invoked when processing a B<CHOICE>, B<SEQUENCE> or B<NDEF_SEQUENCE> structure

146=item B<ASN1_OP_D2I_POST>
147
148Invoked when processing a B<CHOICE>, B<SEQUENCE> or B<NDEF_SEQUENCE> structure
149immediately after a "d2i" operation for the B<ASN1_VALUE>.
150
151=item B<ASN1_OP_I2D_PRE>
152
153Invoked when processing a B<CHOICE>, B<SEQUENCE> or B<NDEF_SEQUENCE> structure
154immediately before a "i2d" operation for the B<ASN1_VALUE>.
155
156=item B<ASN1_OP_I2D_POST>
157
158Invoked when processing a B<CHOICE>, B<SEQUENCE> or B<NDEF_SEQUENCE> structure
159immediately after a "i2d" operation for the B<ASN1_VALUE>.
160
161=item B<ASN1_OP_PRINT_PRE>
162
163Invoked when processing a B<SEQUENCE> or B<NDEF_SEQUENCE> structure immediately
164before printing the B<ASN1_VALUE>. The I<exarg> argument will be a pointer to an

166
167=item B<ASN1_OP_PRINT_POST>
168
169Invoked when processing a B<SEQUENCE> or B<NDEF_SEQUENCE> structure immediately

172
173=item B<ASN1_OP_STREAM_PRE>
174

176length encoding. The I<exarg> argument will be a pointer to a B<ASN1_STREAM_ARG>
177structure (see below).

183structure (see below).
184
185=item B<ASN1_OP_DETACHED_PRE>
186
187Invoked immediately prior to processing the B<ASN1_VALUE> data as a "detached"
188value (as used in CMS and PKCS7). The I<exarg> argument will be a pointer to a
189B<ASN1_STREAM_ARG> structure (see below).
190
191=item B<ASN1_OP_DETACHED_POST>
192
193Invoked immediately after processing the B<ASN1_VALUE> data as a "detached"
