Decodes \fIType\fR\& from \fIModule\fR\& from the binary \fIBytes\fR\&\&. Returns \fI{ok,Value}\fR\& if successful\&.

Use \fIModule:decode(Type, Bytes)\fR\& instead of this function\&.

Encodes \fIValue\fR\& of \fIType\fR\& defined in the \fIASN\&.1\fR\& module \fIModule\fR\&\&. Returns a binary if successful\&. To get as fast execution as possible, the encode function performs only the rudimentary test that input \fIValue\fR\& is a correct instance of \fIType\fR\&\&. For example, the length of strings is not always checked\&.

Use \fIModule:encode(Type, Value)\fR\& instead of this function\&.
