.. Set up some character translations and predefined strings. \*(-- will
give an unbreakable dash, \*(PI will give pi, \*(L" will give a left
double quote, and \*(R" will give a right double quote. \*(C+ will
give a nicer C++. Capital omega is used to do unbreakable dashes and
therefore won't be available. \*(C` and \*(C' expand to `' in nroff,
nothing in troff, for use with C<>.

Escape single quotes in literal strings from groff's Unicode transform.

If the F register is >0, we'll generate index entries on stderr for
titles (.TH), headers (.SH), subsections (.SS), items (.Ip), and index
entries marked with X<> in POD. Of course, you'll have to process the
output yourself in some meaningful fashion.

Avoid warning from groff about undefined register 'F'.

way too many mistakes in technical documents.

Instead templates can also be defined based entirely on external functions. These external functions are called to perform operations such as creating a new \fB\s-1ASN1_VALUE\s0 or converting an \s-1ASN1_VALUE\s0 to or from \s-1DER\s0 encoding.

The macro \s-1IMPLEMENT_EXTERN_ASN1\s0() can be used to create such an externally defined structure. The name of the structure should be supplied in the sname parameter. The tag for the structure (e.g. typically V_ASN1_SEQUENCE) should be supplied in the tag parameter. Finally a pointer to an \fB\s-1ASN1_EXTERN_FUNCS\s0 structure should be supplied in the fptrs parameter.

The \s-1ASN1_EXTERN_FUNCS\s0 structure has the following entries.

Item "app_data" A pointer to arbitrary application specific data. Item "asn1_ex_new" A \*(L"new\*(R" function responsible for constructing a new \s-1ASN1_VALUE\s0 object. The newly constructed value should be stored in *pval. The it parameter is a pointer to the \s-1ASN1_ITEM\s0 template object created via the \s-1IMPLEMENT_EXTERN_ASN1\s0() macro. .Sp Returns a positive value on success or 0 on error. Item "asn1_ex_free" A \*(L"free\*(R" function responsible for freeing the \s-1ASN1_VALUE\s0 passed in *pval that was previously allocated via a \*(L"new\*(R" function. The it parameter is a pointer to the \s-1ASN1_ITEM\s0 template object created via the \s-1IMPLEMENT_EXTERN_ASN1\s0() macro. Item "asn1_ex_clear" A \*(L"clear\*(R" function responsible for clearing any data in the \s-1ASN1_VALUE\s0 passed in *pval and making it suitable for reuse. The it parameter is a pointer to the \s-1ASN1_ITEM\s0 template object created via the \s-1IMPLEMENT_EXTERN_ASN1\s0() macro. Item "asn1_ex_d2i" A \*(L"d2i\*(R" function responsible for converting \s-1DER\s0 data with the tag tag and class class into an \s-1ASN1_VALUE\s0. If *pval is non-NULL then the \fB\s-1ASN_VALUE\s0 it points to should be reused. Otherwise a new \s-1ASN1_VALUE\s0 should be allocated and stored in *pval. *in points to the \s-1DER\s0 data to be decoded and len is the length of that data. After decoding *in should be updated to point at the next byte after the decoded data. If the \s-1ASN1_VALUE\s0 is considered optional in this context then opt will be nonzero. Otherwise it will be zero. The it parameter is a pointer to the \s-1ASN1_ITEM\s0 template object created via the \s-1IMPLEMENT_EXTERN_ASN1\s0() macro. A pointer to the current \fB\s-1ASN1_TLC\s0 context (which may be required for other \s-1ASN1\s0 function calls) is passed in the ctx parameter. .Sp The asn1_ex_d2i entry may be \s-1NULL\s0 if asn1_ex_d2i_ex has been specified instead. .Sp Returns <= 0 on error or a positive value on success. Item "asn1_ex_i2d" An \*(L"i2d\*(R" function responsible for converting an \s-1ASN1_VALUE\s0 into \s-1DER\s0 encoding. On entry *pval will contain the \s-1ASN1_VALUE\s0 to be encoded. If default tagging is to be used then tag will be -1 on entry. Otherwise if implicit tagging should be used then tag and aclass will be the tag and associated class. .Sp If out is not \s-1NULL\s0 then this function should write the \s-1DER\s0 encoded data to the buffer in *out, and then increment *out to point to immediately after the data just written. .Sp If out is \s-1NULL\s0 then no data should be written but the length calculated and returned as if it were. .Sp The asn1_ex_i2d entry may be \s-1NULL\s0 if asn1_ex_i2d_ex has been specified instead. .Sp The return value should be negative if a fatal error occurred, or 0 if a non-fatal error occurred. Otherwise it should return the length of the encoded data. Item "asn1_ex_print" A \*(L"print\*(R" function. out is the \s-1BIO\s0 to print the output to. *pval is the \fB\s-1ASN1_VALUE\s0 to be printed. indent is the number of spaces of indenting to be printed before any data is printed. fname is currently unused and is always "". pctx is a pointer to the \s-1ASN1_PCTX\s0 for the print operation. .Sp Returns 0 on error or a positive value on success. If the return value is 2 then an additional newline will be printed after the data printed by this function. Item "asn1_ex_new_ex" This is the same as asn1_ex_new except that it is additionally passed the \s-1OSSL_LIB_CTX\s0 to be used in libctx and any property query string to be used for algorithm fetching in the propq parameter. See \*(L"\s-1ALGORITHM FETCHING\*(R"\s0 in crypto\|(7) for further details. If asn1_ex_new_ex is non \s-1NULL,\s0 then it will always be called in preference to asn1_ex_new. Item "asn1_ex_d2i_ex" This is the same as asn1_ex_d2i except that it is additionally passed the \s-1OSSL_LIB_CTX\s0 to be used in libctx and any property query string to be used for algorithm fetching in the propq parameter. See \*(L"\s-1ALGORITHM FETCHING\*(R"\s0 in crypto\|(7) for further details. If asn1_ex_d2i_ex is non \s-1NULL,\s0 then it will always be called in preference to asn1_ex_d2i. Header "RETURN VALUES" Return values for the various callbacks are as described above.
