NAME

       asn1_der_decoding_startEnd - API function

SYNOPSIS

       #include <libtasn1.h>

       int  asn1_der_decoding_startEnd(asn1_node  element, const void * ider, int ider_len, const
       char * name_element, int * start, int * end);

ARGUMENTS

       asn1_node element
                   pointer to an ASN1 element

       const void * ider
                   vector that contains the DER encoding.

       int ider_len
                   number of bytes of * ider :  ider [0].. ider [len-1]

       const char * name_element
                   an element of NAME structure.

       int * start the position of the first byte of NAME_ELEMENT decoding ( ider [*start])

       int * end   the position of the last byte of NAME_ELEMENT decoding ( ider [*end])

DESCRIPTION

       Find the start and end point of an element in a DER encoding string. I mean  that  if  you
       have  a  der encoding and you have already used the function asn1_der_decoding() to fill a
       structure, it may happen that you want to find the piece of string concerning  an  element
       of the structure.

       One example is the sequence "tbsCertificate" inside an X509 certificate.

RETURNS

       ASN1_SUCCESS  if  DER encoding OK, ASN1_ELEMENT_NOT_FOUND if ELEMENT is asn1_node EMPTY or
       name_element is not a valid element, ASN1_TAG_ERROR or ASN1_DER_ERROR if the der  encoding
       doesn't match the structure ELEMENT.
