💖 asn1_print_structure(3) — the libtasn1 glow-up 💖

okay bestie, pull up a chair because we're talking about asn1_print_structure, one of the lil API functions from libtasn1 that literally just... prints your ASN.1 structure for you. no cap. it's giving "tell me what's inside this tree" and honestly? we love that for us. 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <libtasn1.h>

void asn1_print_structure(FILE * out, asn1_node_const structure, const
char * name, int mode);

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • FILE * out — pointer to the output file, like, where the vibes get written. think stdout, bestie. 💅
  • asn1_node_const structure — pointer to the structure you wanna go visit. yes, visit. we're tourists in a tree today. 🌸
  • const char * name — an element of the structure. one lil guy. a name.
  • int mode — this one controls how much of the structure gets printed, and the options are ASN1_PRINT_NAME, ASN1_PRINT_NAME_TYPE, ASN1_PRINT_NAME_TYPE_VALUE, or ASN1_PRINT_ALL. pick your fighter. 👑

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so what it actually does: it prints the structure's tree onto the out file descriptor, starting from the name element inside the structure structure. 🌳

that's it. that's the whole thing. starting point = name, tree = the structure's tree, destination = out. main character energy from a function that does exactly one job. periodt. ✨
