💖 shishi_der2asn1_asreq — like, the manual page, bestie 💖

okay so this is a page from the shishi manual (section 3, the library-call girlies ✨). it's a whole API function and honestly? it's giving "decode the thing, get the thing." let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

shishi_der2asn1_asreq — an API function, no cap 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <shishi.h>

Shishi_asn1 shishi_der2asn1_asreq(Shishi * handle, const char * der,
       size_t derlen);

like. it's right there. one function. three things go in, one beautiful ASN.1 structure comes out 🌸

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • Shishi * handle — the shishi handle, and you gotta have gotten it from shishi_init() first, okay? don't be out here passing random garbage, that's not the vibe 🙈
  • const char * der — an input character array holding the DER encoding. that's the raw bytes, bestie, the whole point of the operation ✨
  • size_t derlen — the length of that input character array with the DER encoding. yes it's separate. yes you must actually count. it's fine. we cope 💜

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

So basically: it decodes the DER encoding of an AS-REQ and creates an ASN.1 structure out of it. DER goes in, ASN.1 structure comes out, main character energy only 👑

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

Returns the ASN.1 structure that corresponds to the DER data. that's it, that's the whole payoff, and it ate 💖
