✨ asn1_create_element ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the libtasn1 manual page for asn1_create_element(3) — yes that's the whole vibe, we're doing ASN.1 structure creation today and honestly? it's giving main character energy 💅

🎀 NAME 🎀

asn1_create_element — an API function, and she's here to build you a shiny new structure 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <libtasn1.h>

int asn1_create_element(asn1_node_const definitions, const char *
source_name, asn1_node * element);

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • asn1_node_const definitions — a pointer to the structure that the "parser_asn1" function handed you back. iykyk, that's your definitions source 🫶
  • const char * source_name — the name of the type of the new structure. heads up though: it must be inside p_structure, no cap 🧚
  • asn1_node * element — a pointer to the structure that got created. yes queen, this is where your baby lives 👑

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

So what does it do? It creates a structure of type source_name. periodt.

Here's the example, using "pkix.asn" — and I need you to copy it exactly, not me:

rc = asn1_create_element(cert_def, "PKIX1.Certificate", certptr);

look at that. iconic. she ate fr fr 💀✨

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

  • ASN1_SUCCESS — if the creation went OK. slay 💖
  • ASN1_ELEMENT_NOT_FOUND — if source_name is not known. sad girl hours 😭
