asn1_copy_node(3)

✨ asn1_copy_node — the libtasn1 glow-up 💅

okay bestie, we're in asn1_copy_node(3) from libtasn1 and this one is literally the "make a whole copy of my node" function. no cap. 🌸

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS

#include <libtasn1.h>

int asn1_copy_node(asn1_node dst, const char * dst_name, asn1_node_const
src, const char * src_name);

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS

• asn1_node dst — the destination asn1 node. this is where the copy lands, the main character of the operation 👑
• const char * dst_name — the field name over in the destination node. like, which spot in dst are we putting it 🫶
• asn1_node_const src — the source asn1 node. the original, the blueprint, the moment 💖
• const char * src_name — the field name in the source node. where in src we're pulling from ✨

---

💜 DESCRIPTION

so basically: create a deep copy of an asn1_node variable. deep copy means it's not just vibes and pointers, it's the whole thing fr fr.

and here's the tea — that function requires dst to be expanded using asn1_create_element(). so if you skipped that step, that's not it, bestie, it's not gonna work 🙈

---

⭐ RETURNS

returns ASN1_SUCCESS on success. slay. that's the win condition 🎉
