✨ NAME ✨

asn1_find_node — bestie, it's an API function 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <libtasn1.h>

asn1_node asn1_find_node(asn1_node_const pointer, const char * name);

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • asn1_node_const pointer — the NODE_ASN element pointer, aka your starting point, your home base, the place you're searching from 🏠
  • const char * name — a null terminated string holding the name of the element you're trying to find. yes bestie, null terminated, we do not play about that 💀

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So basically it searches for an element called name, starting from pointer. That's the whole vibe. 🔍

Now the name is not just one little word — it's composed by different identifiers, and they're separated by dots. . — like little breadcrumbs leading you down the tree 🍞✨

And here's the part you actually need to remember, so listen up:

  • When *pointer has a name, the first identifier must be the name of *pointer itself.
  • Otherwise — when it doesn't have a name — that first identifier must be the name of one child of *pointer.

That's it. That's the rule. Get it wrong and the search is giving nothing, iykyk 😭

💖 RETURNS 💖

The search result, or NULL if it wasn't found. That's the tea. 🫖
