440
441While any BER data can be correctly encoded and decoded out of the box, it
442can be inconvenient to have to manually decode some values into a "better"
443format: for instance, SNMP TimeTicks values are decoded into the raw octet
444strings of their BER representation, which is quite hard to decode. With
445profiles, you can change which class/tag combinations map to which decoder
446function inside C<ber_decode> (and of course also which encoder functions
447are used in C<ber_encode>).
448
449This works by mapping specific class/tag combinations to an internal "ber
450type".
451
452The default profile supports the standard ASN.1 types, but no
453application-specific ones. This means that class/tag combinations not in
454the base set of ASN.1 are decoded into their raw octet strings.
455
456C<Convert::BER::XS> defines two profile variables you can use out of the box:
457
458=over
459
460=item C<$Convert::BER::XS::DEFAULT_PROFILE>
461
462This is the default profile, i.e. the profile that is used when no
463profile is specified for de-/encoding.
464
465You can modify it, but remember that this modifies the defaults for all
466callers that rely on the default profile.
467
468=item C<$Convert::BER::XS::SNMP_PROFILE>
469
470A profile with mappings for SNMP-specific application tags added. This is
471useful when de-/encoding SNMP data.
472
473Example:
474
475 $ber = ber_decode $data, $Convert::BER::XS::SNMP_PROFILE;
476
477=back
478
479=head2 The Convert::BER::XS::Profile class
480
481=over
482
483=item $profile = new Convert::BER::XS::Profile
484
485Create a new profile. The profile will be identical to the default
486profile.
487
488=item $profile->set ($class, $tag, $type)
489
490Sets the mapping for the given C<$class>/C<$tag> combination to C<$type>,
491which must be one of the C<BER_TYPE_*> constants.
492
493Note that currently, the mapping is stored in a flat array, so large
494values of C<$tag> will consume large amounts of memory.
495
496Example:
497
498 $profile = new Convert::BER::XS::Profile;
499 $profile->set (ASN_APPLICATION, SNMP_COUNTER32, BER_TYPE_INT);
500 $ber = ber_decode $data, $profile;
501
502=item $type = $profile->get ($class, $tag)
503
504Returns the BER type mapped to the given C<$class>/C<$tag> combination.
505
506=back
507
508=head2 BER TYPES
509
510This lists the predefined BER types - you can map any C<CLASS>/C<TAG>
511combination to any C<BER_TYPE_*>.
512
513=over
514
515=item C<BER_TYPE_BYTES>
516
517The raw octets of the value. This is the default type for unknown tags and
518de-/encodes the value as if it were an octet string, i.e. by copying the
519raw bytes.
520
521=item C<BER_TYPE_UTF8>
522
523Like C<BER_TYPE_BYTES>, but decodes the value as if it were a UTF-8 string
524(without validation!) and encodes a perl unicode string into a UTF-8 BER
525string.
526
527=item C<BER_TYPE_UCS2>
528
529Similar to C<BER_TYPE_UTF8>, but treats the BER value as UCS-2 encoded
530string.
531
532=item C<BER_TYPE_UCS4>
533
534Similar to C<BER_TYPE_UTF8>, but treats the BER value as UCS-4 encoded
535string.
536
537=item C<BER_TYPE_INT>
538
539Encodes and decodes a BER integer value to a perl integer scalar. This
540should correctly handle 64 bit signed and unsigned values.
541
542=item C<BER_TYPE_OID>
543
544Encodes and decodes an OBJECT IDENTIFIER into dotted form without leading
545dot, e.g. C<1.3.6.1.213>.
546
547=item C<BER_TYPE_RELOID>
548
549Same as C<BER_TYPE_OID> but uses relative object identifier
550encoding: ASN.1 has this hack of encoding the first two OID components
551into a single integer in a weird attempt to save an insignificant amount
552of space in an otherwise wasteful encoding, and relative OIDs are
553basically OIDs without this hack. The practical difference is that the
554second component of an OID can only have the values 1..40, while relative
555OIDs do not have this restriction.
556
557=item C<BER_TYPE_NULL>
558
559Decodes an C<ASN_NULL> value into C<undef>, and always encodes a
560C<ASN_NULL> type, regardless of the perl value.
561
562=item C<BER_TYPE_BOOL>
563
564Decodes an C<ASN_BOOLEAN> value into C<0> or C<1>, and encodes a perl
565boolean value into an C<ASN_BOOLEAN>.
566
567=item C<BER_TYPE_REAL>
568
569Decodes/encodes a BER real value. NOT IMPLEMENTED.
570
571=item C<BER_TYPE_IPADDRESS>
572
573Decodes/encodes a four byte string into an IPv4 dotted-quad address string
574in Perl. Given the obsolete nature of this type, this is a low-effort
575implementation that simply uses C<sprintf> and C<sscanf>-style conversion,
576so it won't handle all string forms supported by C<inet_aton> for example.
577
578=item C<BER_TYPE_CROAK>
579
580Always croaks when encountered during encoding or decoding - the
581default behaviour when encountering an unknown type is to treat it as
582C<BER_TYPE_BYTES>. When you don't want that but instead prefer a hard
583error for some types, then C<BER_TYPE_CROAK> is for you.

321=head2 BUGS / SHORTCOMINGs 604=head2 LIMITATIONS/NOTES
322 605
323This module does have a number of SNMPisms hardcoded, such as the SNMP 606This module can only en-/decode 64 bit signed and unsigned integers, and
324tags for Unsigned32 and so on. More configurability is needed, and, if 607only when your perl supports those.
325ever implemented, will come in a form similar to how L<JSON::XS> and 608
326L<CBOR::XS> respresent things, namely with an object-oriented interface. 609This module does not generally care about ranges, i.e. it will happily
610de-/encode 64 bit integers into an C<ASN_INTEGER> value, or a negative
611number into an C<SNMP_COUNTER64>.
612
613OBJECT IDENTIFIEERs cannot have unlimited length, although the limit is
614much larger than e.g. the one imposed by SNMP or other protocols,a nd is
615about 4kB.
616
617Indefinite length encoding is not supported.
618
619Constructed strings are decoded just fine, but there should be a way to
620join them for convenience.
621
622REAL values are not supported and will currently croak.
623
624This module has undergone little to no testing so far.
625
626=head2 ITHREADS SUPPORT
627
628This module is unlikely to work when the (officially discouraged) ithreads
629are in use.
