83 | By default this module doesn't export any symbols, but if you don't want |
|
|
84 | to break your keyboard, editor or eyesight with extremely long names, I |
|
|
85 | recommend importing the C<:all> tag. Still, you can selectively import |

|
270 | How tags are interpreted is defined by the second argument, which must |
|
|
271 | be a C<Convert::BER::XS::Profile> object. If it is missing, the default |
|
|
272 | profile will be used (C<$Convert::BER::XS::DEFAULT_PROFILE>). |
|
|
273 | |
|
|
274 | In addition to rolling your own, this module provides a |
|
|
275 | C<$Convert::BER::XS::SNMP_PROFILE> that knows about the additional SNMP |
|
|
276 | types. |
|
|
277 | |
|
|
278 | Example: decode a BER blob using the default profile - SNMP values will be |
|
|
279 | decided as raw strings. |
|
|
280 | |
|
|
281 | $tuple = ber_decode $data; |
|
|
282 | |
|
|
283 | Example: as above, but use the provided SNMP profile. |
|
|
284 | |
|
|
285 | $tuple = ber_encode $data, $Convert::BER::XS::SNMP_PROFILE; |
|

|
|
289 | Works like C<ber_decode>, except it doesn't croak when there is data after |
|
|
290 | the BER data, but instead returns the decoded value and the number of |
|
|
291 | bytes it decoded. |
|
|
292 | |
|
|
293 | This is useful when you have BER data at the start of a buffer and other |
|
|
294 | data after, and you need to find the length. |
|
|
295 | |
|
|
296 | Also, since BER is self-delimited, this can be used to decode multiple BER |
|
|
297 | values joined together. |

484 | In addition to specifying the BER C<$tuple> to dump, youc an also specify |

487 | If C<$profile> is C<$Convert::BER::XS::SNMP_PROFILE>, then C<ber_dump> |
