asn1rt(3erl) Erlang Module Definition asn1rt(3erl)

NAME

asn1rt - ASN.1 runtime support functions

DESCRIPTION

 
Warning:
All functions in this module are deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
 

EXPORTS

decode(Module,Type,Bytes) -> {ok,Value}|{error,Reason}
 
Types:
 
Module = Type = atom()
 
Value = Reason = term()
 
Bytes = binary
 
Decodes Type from Module from the binary Bytes. Returns {ok,Value} if successful.
Use Module:decode(Type, Bytes) instead of this function.
 
encode(Module,Type,Value)-> {ok,Bytes} | {error,Reason}
 
Types:
 
Module = Type = atom()
 
Value = term()
 
Bytes = binary
 
Reason = term()
 
Encodes Value of Type defined in the ASN.1 module Module. Returns a binary if successful. To get as fast execution as possible the encode function only performs rudimentary tests that the input Value is a correct instance of Type. The length of strings is, for example, not always checked.
Use Module:encode(Type, Value) instead of this function.
 
info(Module) -> {ok,Info} | {error,Reason}
 
Types:
 
Module = atom()
 
Info = list()
 
Reason = term()
 
info/1 returns the version of the asn1 compiler that was used to compile the module. It also returns the compiler options that was used.
Use Module:info() instead of this function.
 
utf8_binary_to_list(UTF8Binary) -> {ok,UnicodeList} | {error,Reason}
 
Types:
 
UTF8Binary = binary()
 
UnicodeList = [integer()]
 
Reason = term()
 
utf8_binary_to_list/1 Transforms a UTF8 encoded binary to a list of integers, where each integer represents one character as its unicode value. The function fails if the binary is not a properly encoded UTF8 string.
Use unicode:characters_to_list/1 instead of this function.
 
utf8_list_to_binary(UnicodeList) -> {ok,UTF8Binary} | {error,Reason}
 
Types:
 
UnicodeList = [integer()]
 
UTF8Binary = binary()
 
Reason = term()
 
utf8_list_to_binary/1 Transforms a list of integers, where each integer represents one character as its unicode value, to a UTF8 encoded binary.
Use unicode:characters_to_binary/1 instead of this function.
