💅 shishi_der2asn1_padata — bestie edition

okay so we're in the shishi manual, section 3, and today's main character is shishi_der2asn1_padata. yes it's an API function. no it's not scary. come sit with me 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

shishi_der2asn1_padata — it's an API function, periodt.

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

#include <shishi.h>

Shishi_asn1 shishi_der2asn1_padata(Shishi * handle, const char * der,
       size_t derlen);

like... she's giving "one function, three args, no drama". iconic.

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • Shishi * handle — your shishi handle, the one you got from shishi_init(). she's the whole vibe, you can't do anything without her 💖
  • const char * der — the input character array holding the DER encoding. literally just a bundle of bytes waiting to be understood.
  • size_t derlen — how long that input character array with the DER encoding actually is. length check, bestie, always. 📏

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So what does she do? She decodes the DER encoding of PA-DATA and creates an ASN.1 structure out of it. that's it. that's the whole job. lowkey elegant, highkey useful. ✨

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

She returns the ASN.1 structure that corresponds to the DER data. you get the thing. 🎁
