🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <libtasn1.h>

                            int * num);

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• asn1_node_const element — okay so this is a pointer to the root of an ASN1 structure. like, the whole tree's main character 👑
• const char * name — the name of a sub-structure of ROOT. yes, the arg is called name and the docs keep yelling ROOT in caps, we love the drama 🫶
• int * num — a pointer to an integer, and that's where the result gets stored. she's the delivery address for the answer 📬

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Not me counting things — but actually yes, that's literally the job 💀

It counts the number of elements of a sub-structure called NAME, where the names are equal to "?1", "?2", ... etc. Lowkey iconic, highkey specific. Periodt. ✨

🦋 RETURNS 🦋

• ASN1_SUCCESS — slay, it worked, no notes 🌈
• ASN1_ELEMENT_NOT_FOUND — if name is not known 😭 that sub-structure said "who are you" and left the chat
• ASN1_GENERIC_ERROR — if the pointer num is NULL. like bestie you have to give her somewhere to put the answer 🙈
