NAME
       asn1_der_decoding - API function

SYNOPSIS
       #include <libtasn1.h>

       asn1_retCode asn1_der_decoding(ASN1_TYPE * element, const void * ider,
       int len, char * errorDescription);

ARGUMENTS
       ASN1_TYPE * element
                   pointer to an ASN1 structure.

       const void * ider
                   vector that contains the DER encoding.

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

       char * errorDescription
                   null-terminated string contains details when an error
                   occurred.

DESCRIPTION
       Fill the structure *ELEMENT with values of a DER encoding string. The
       structure must just be created with function asn1_create_element().  If
       an error occurs during the decoding procedure, the *ELEMENT is deleted
       and set equal to ASN1_TYPE_EMPTY.

RETURNS
       ASN1_SUCCESS if DER encoding OK, ASN1_ELEMENT_NOT_FOUND if ELEMENT is
       ASN1_TYPE_EMPTY, and ASN1_TAG_ERROR or ASN1_DER_ERROR if the der
       encoding doesn't match the structure name (*ELEMENT deleted).
