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 performs only
              the  rudimentary  test that input Value is a correct instance of Type. For example,
              the length of strings is 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()

              Returns the version of the ASN.1 compiler that was used to compile the  module.  It
              also returns the compiler options that were used.

              Use Module:info() instead of this function.

       utf8_binary_to_list(UTF8Binary) -> {ok,UnicodeList} | {error,Reason}

              Types:

                 UTF8Binary = binary()
                 UnicodeList = [integer()]
                 Reason = term()

              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()

              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.
