👑 NAME 👑

asn1Coding — the ASN.1 DER encoder manual page (straight out of User Commands, section 1) 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

asn1Coding [OPTION] DEFINITIONS ASSIGNMENTS

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so bestie, here's the tea ☕ — asn1Coding generates a DER encoding of your ASN.1 DEFINITIONS file plus your ASSIGNMENTS file, the one that's holding all the value assignments. That's the whole entire vibe. 🎀

And quick PSA, because GNU said so: mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too. So no, you can't skip a value just because you went with the short flag. it applies to both, fr fr. 💀

  • -c, --check — just checks the syntax only, no encoding, no drama, just a lil syntax vibe check ✨
  • -o, --output=FILE — picks the output file, so you decide exactly where the encoded goodness lands 📁
  • -h, --help — displays this help and exits, main character exit, periodt 🚪
  • -v, --version — outputs the version information and exits, iconic behavior honestly 👑
