ber_alloc_t (Windows CE 5.0)

Send Feedback

This function allocates and constructs a new BerElement structure.

BerElement* ber_alloc_t(INTiOptions);

Parameters

  • iOptions
    [in] Bitwise OR of the options that are to be used when generating the encoding or decoding of the BerElement structure. The LBER_USE_DER flag (0x01) should always be specified, which causes the element lengths to be encoded in the minimum number of octets. Unrecognized option bits are ignored.

Return Values

If this function succeeds, the return value is a pointer to the newly allocated BerElement.

If this function fails, it returns a NULL pointer.

Remarks

The LBER_USE_DER option does not cause values of sets to be rearranged in tag and byte order or default values to be removed. As a result these functions are not sufficient for generating DER output as defined in X.509 and X.680. If the caller takes responsibility for ordering values of sets correctly and removing default values, DER output as defined in X.509 and X.680 can be produced.

Requirements

OS Versions: Windows CE .NET 4.0 and later.
Header: Winber.h.
Link Library: Wldap32.lib.
