83By default this module doesn't export any symbols, but if you don't want
84to break your keyboard, editor or eyesight with extremely long names, I
85recommend importing the C<:all> tag. Still, you can selectively import
86things.
87
88=over
89
90=item C<:all>
91
92All of the below. Really. Recommended for at least first steps, or if you
93don't care about a few kilobytes of wasted memory (and namespace).
94
95=item C<:const>
96
97All of the strictly ASN.1-related constants defined by this module, the
98same as C<:const_asn :const_index>. Notably, this does not contain
99C<:const_ber_type> and C<:const_snmp>.
100
101A good set to get everything you need to decode and match BER data would be
102C<:decode :const>.
103

105
106The BER tuple array index constants:

114the right):
115
116 ASN_UNIVERSAL ASN_APPLICATION ASN_CONTEXT ASN_PRIVATE

162=head2 ASN.1/BER/DER/... BASICS
163
164ASN.1 is a strange language that can be used to describe protocols and
165data structures. It supports various mappings to JSON, XML, but most
166importantly, to a various binary encodings such as BER, that is the topic
167of this module, and is used in SNMP, LDAP or X.509 for example.
168
169While ASN.1 defines a schema that is useful to interpret encoded data,
170the BER encoding is actually somewhat self-describing: you might not know
171whether something is a string or a number or a sequence or something else,
172but you can nevertheless decode the overall structure, even if you end up
173with just a binary blob for the actual value.
174
175This works because BER values are tagged with a type and a namespace,
176and also have a flag that says whether a value consists of subvalues (is
177"constructed") or not (is "primitive").
178
179Tags are simple integers, and ASN.1 defines a somewhat weird assortment
180of those - for example, you have one integers and 16(!) different
181string types, but there is no Unsigned32 type for example. Different
182applications work around this in different ways, for example, SNMP defines
183application-specific Gauge32, Counter32 and Unsigned32, which are mapped
184to two different tags: you can distinguish between Counter32 and the
185others, but not between Gause32 and Unsigned32, without the ASN.1 schema.
186
187Ugh.
188
189=head2 DECODED BER REPRESENTATION
190
191This module represents every BER value as a 4-element tuple (actually an
192array-reference):
193
194 [CLASS, TAG, FLAGS, DATA]
195
196For example:
197
198 [ASN_UNIVERSAL, ASN_INTEGER, 0, 177] # the integer 177
199 [ASN_UNIVERSAL, ASN_OCTET_STRING, 0, "john"] # the string "john"
200 [ASN_UNIVERSAL, ASN_OID, 0, "1.3.6.133"] # some OID
201 [ASN_UNIVERSAL, ASN_SEQUENCE, 1, [ [ASN_UNIVERSAL... # a sequence
202
203To avoid non-descriptive hardcoded array index numbers, this module
204defines symbolic constants to access these members: C<BER_CLASS>,
205C<BER_TAG>, C<BER_FLAGS> and C<BER_DATA>.
206
207Also, the first three members are integers with a little caveat: for
208performance reasons, these are readonly and shared, so you must not modify
209them (increment, assign to them etc.) in any way. You may modify the
210I<DATA> member, and you may re-assign the array itself, e.g.:
211
212 $ber = ber_decode $binbuf;
213
214 # the following is NOT legal:
215 $ber->[BER_CLASS] = ASN_PRIVATE; # ERROR, CLASS/TAG/FLAGS are READ ONLY(!)
216
217 # but all of the following are fine:
218 $ber->[BER_DATA] = "string";
219 $ber->[BER_DATA] = [ASN_UNIVERSAL, ASN_INTEGER, 0, 123];
220 @$ber = (ASN_APPLICATION, SNMP_TIMETICKS, 0, 1000);
221
222I<CLASS> is something like a namespace for I<TAG>s - there is the
223C<ASN_UNIVERSAL> namespace which defines tags common to all ASN.1
224implementations, the C<ASN_APPLICATION> namespace which defines tags for
225specific applications (for example, the SNMP C<Unsigned32> type is in this
226namespace), a special-purpose context namespace (C<ASN_CONTEXT>, used e.g.
227for C<CHOICE>) and a private namespace (C<ASN_PRIVATE>).
228
229The meaning of the I<TAG> depends on the namespace, and defines a
230(partial) interpretation of the data value. For example, SNMP defines
231extra tags in the C<ASN_APPLICATION> namespace, and to take full advantage
232of these, you need to tell this module how to handle those via profiles.
233
234The most common tags in the C<ASN_UNIVERSAL> namespace are
235C<ASN_INTEGER>, C<ASN_BIT_STRING>, C<ASN_NULL>, C<ASN_OCTET_STRING>,
236C<ASN_OBJECT_IDENTIFIER>, C<ASN_SEQUENCE>, C<ASN_SET> and
237C<ASN_IA5_STRING>.
238
239The most common tags in SNMP's C<ASN_APPLICATION> namespace are
240C<SNMP_COUNTER32>, C<SNMP_UNSIGNED32>, C<SNMP_TIMETICKS> and
241C<SNMP_COUNTER64>.
242
243The I<FLAGS> value is really just a boolean at this time (but might
244get extended) - if it is C<0>, the value is "primitive" and contains
245no subvalues, kind of like a non-reference perl scalar. If it is C<1>,
246then the value is "constructed" which just means it contains a list of
247subvalues which this module will en-/decode as BER tuples themselves.
248
249The I<DATA> value is either a reference to an array of further tuples
250(if the value is I<FLAGS>), some decoded representation of the value, if
251this module knows how to decode it (e.g. for the integer types above) or
252a binary string with the raw octets if this module doesn't know how to
253interpret the namespace/tag.
254
255Thus, you can always decode a BER data structure and at worst you get a
256string in place of some nice decoded value.
257
258See the SYNOPSIS for an example of such an encoded tuple representation.
259
260=head2 DECODING AND ENCODING
261
262=over
263
264=item $tuple = ber_decode $bindata[, $profile]
265
266Decodes binary BER data in C<$bindata> and returns the resulting BER
267tuple. Croaks on any decoding error, so the returned C<$tuple> is always
268valid.
269
270How tags are interpreted is defined by the second argument, which must
271be a C<Convert::BER::XS::Profile> object. If it is missing, the default
272profile will be used (C<$Convert::BER::XS::DEFAULT_PROFILE>).
273
274In addition to rolling your own, this module provides a
275C<$Convert::BER::XS::SNMP_PROFILE> that knows about the additional SNMP
276types.
277
278Example: decode a BER blob using the default profile - SNMP values will be
279decided as raw strings.
280
281 $tuple = ber_decode $data;
282
283Example: as above, but use the provided SNMP profile.
284
285 $tuple = ber_encode $data, $Convert::BER::XS::SNMP_PROFILE;
286
287=item ($tuple, $bytes) = ber_decode_prefix $bindata[, $profile]
288
289Works like C<ber_decode>, except it doesn't croak when there is data after
290the BER data, but instead returns the decoded value and the number of
291bytes it decoded.
292
293This is useful when you have BER data at the start of a buffer and other
294data after, and you need to find the length.
295
296Also, since BER is self-delimited, this can be used to decode multiple BER
297values joined together.
298
299=item $bindata = ber_encode $tuple[, $profile]
300
301Encodes the BER tuple into a BER/DER data structure. AS with
302Cyber_decode>, an optional profile can be given.
303
304The encoded data should be both BER and DER ("shortest form") compliant
305unless the input says otherwise (e.g. it uses constructed strings).
306
307=back
308
309=head2 HELPER FUNCTIONS
310
311Working with a 4-tuple for every value can be annoying. Or, rather, I<is>
312annoying. To reduce this a bit, this module defines a number of helper
313functions, both to match BER tuples and to construct BER tuples:
314
315=head3 MATCH HELPERS
316
317These functions accept a BER tuple as first argument and either partially
318or fully match it. They often come in two forms, one which exactly matches
319a value, and one which only matches the type and returns the value.
320
321They do check whether valid tuples are passed in and croak otherwise. As
322a ease-of-use exception, they usually also accept C<undef> instead of a
323tuple reference, in which case they silently fail to match.
324
325=over
326
327=item $bool = ber_is $tuple, $class, $tag, $flags, $data
328
329This takes a BER C<$tuple> and matches its elements against the provided
330values, all of which are optional - values that are either missing or
331C<undef> will be ignored, the others will be matched exactly (e.g. as if
332you used C<==> or C<eq> (for C<$data>)).
333
334Some examples:
335
336 ber_is $tuple, ASN_UNIVERSAL, ASN_SEQUENCE, 1
337 orf die "tuple is not an ASN SEQUENCE";
338
339 ber_is $tuple, ASN_UNIVERSAL, ASN_NULL
340 or die "tuple is not an ASN NULL value";
341
342 ber_is $tuple, ASN_UNIVERSAL, ASN_INTEGER, 0, 50
343 or die "BER integer must be 50";
344
345=item $seq = ber_is_seq $tuple
346
347Returns the sequence members (the array of subvalues) if the C<$tuple> is
348an ASN SEQUENCE, i.e. the C<BER_DATA> member. If the C<$tuple> is not a
349sequence it returns C<undef>. For example, SNMP version 1/2c/3 packets all
350consist of an outer SEQUENCE value:
351
352 my $ber = ber_decode $snmp_data;
353
354 my $snmp = ber_is_seq $ber
355 or die "SNMP packet invalid: does not start with SEQUENCE";
356
357 # now we know $snmp is a sequence, so decode the SNMP version
358
359 my $version = ber_is_int $snmp->[0]
360 or die "SNMP packet invalid: does not start with version number";
361
362=item $bool = ber_is_int $tuple, $int
363
364Returns a true value if the C<$tuple> represents an ASN INTEGER with
365the value C<$int>.
366
367=item $int = ber_is_int $tuple
368
369Returns true (and extracts the integer value) if the C<$tuple> is an
370C<ASN_INTEGER>. For C<0>, this function returns a special value that is 0
371but true.
372
373=item $bool = ber_is_oid $tuple, $oid_string
374
375Returns true if the C<$tuple> represents an ASN_OBJECT_IDENTIFIER
376that exactly matches C<$oid_string>. Example:
377
378 ber_is_oid $tuple, "1.3.6.1.4"
379 or die "oid must be 1.3.6.1.4";
380
381=item $oid = ber_is_oid $tuple
382
383Returns true (and extracts the OID string) if the C<$tuple> is an ASN
384OBJECT IDENTIFIER. Otherwise, it returns C<undef>.

387
388=head3 CONSTRUCTION HELPERS

398=head2 RELATIONSHIP TO L<Convert::BER> and L<Convert::ASN1>
399
400This module is I<not> the XS version of L<Convert::BER>, but a different
401take at doing the same thing. I imagine this module would be a good base
402for speeding up either of these, or write a similar module, or write your
403own LDAP or SNMP module for example.

475=head2 DEBUGGING
476
477To aid debugging, you cna call the C<ber_dump> function to print a "nice"
478representation to STDOUT.
479
480=over
481
482=item ber_dump $tuple[, $profile[, $prefix]]
483
484In addition to specifying the BER C<$tuple> to dump, youc an also specify
485a C<$profile> and a C<$prefix> string that is printed in front of each line.
486
487If C<$profile> is C<$Convert::BER::XS::SNMP_PROFILE>, then C<ber_dump>
488will try to improve its output for SNMP data.
489
490The output usually contains three columns, the "human readable" tag, the
491BER type used to decode it, and the data value.
492
493This function is somewhat slow and uses a number of heuristics and tricks,
494so it really is only suitable for debug prints.
495
496Example output:

575=head1 PROFILES
576
577While any BER data can be correctly encoded and decoded out of the box, it
578can be inconvenient to have to manually decode some values into a "better"
579format: for instance, SNMP TimeTicks values are decoded into the raw octet
580strings of their BER representation, which is quite hard to decode. With
581profiles, you can change which class/tag combinations map to which decoder
582function inside C<ber_decode> (and of course also which encoder functions
583are used in C<ber_encode>).
584
585This works by mapping specific class/tag combinations to an internal "ber
586type".
587
588The default profile supports the standard ASN.1 types, but no
589application-specific ones. This means that class/tag combinations not in
590the base set of ASN.1 are decoded into their raw octet strings.
591
592C<Convert::BER::XS> defines two profile variables you can use out of the box:
593
594=over
595
596=item C<$Convert::BER::XS::DEFAULT_PROFILE>
597
598This is the default profile, i.e. the profile that is used when no
599profile is specified for de-/encoding.
600
601You can modify it, but remember that this modifies the defaults for all
602callers that rely on the default profile.
603
604=item C<$Convert::BER::XS::SNMP_PROFILE>
605
606A profile with mappings for SNMP-specific application tags added. This is
607useful when de-/encoding SNMP data.
608
609Example:
610
611 $ber = ber_decode $data, $Convert::BER::XS::SNMP_PROFILE;
612
613=back
614
615=head2 The Convert::BER::XS::Profile class
616
617=over
618
619=item $profile = new Convert::BER::XS::Profile
620
621Create a new profile. The profile will be identical to the default
622profile.
623
624=item $profile->set ($class, $tag, $type)
625
626Sets the mapping for the given C<$class>/C<$tag> combination to C<$type>,
627which must be one of the C<BER_TYPE_*> constants.
628
629Note that currently, the mapping is stored in a flat array, so large
630values of C<$tag> will consume large amounts of memory.
631
632Example:
633
634 $profile = new Convert::BER::XS::Profile;
635 $profile->set (ASN_APPLICATION, SNMP_COUNTER32, BER_TYPE_INT);
636 $ber = ber_decode $data, $profile;
637
638=item $type = $profile->get ($class, $tag)
639
640Returns the BER type mapped to the given C<$class>/C<$tag> combination.
641
642=back
643
644=head2 BER TYPES
645
646This lists the predefined BER types - you can map any C<CLASS>/C<TAG>
647combination to any C<BER_TYPE_*>.
648
649=over
650
651=item C<BER_TYPE_BYTES>
652
653The raw octets of the value. This is the default type for unknown tags and
654de-/encodes the value as if it were an octet string, i.e. by copying the
655raw bytes.
656
657=item C<BER_TYPE_UTF8>
658
659Like C<BER_TYPE_BYTES>, but decodes the value as if it were a UTF-8 string
660(without validation!) and encodes a perl unicode string into a UTF-8 BER
661string.
662
663=item C<BER_TYPE_UCS2>
664
665Similar to C<BER_TYPE_UTF8>, but treats the BER value as UCS-2 encoded
666string.
667
668=item C<BER_TYPE_UCS4>
669
670Similar to C<BER_TYPE_UTF8>, but treats the BER value as UCS-4 encoded
671string.
672
673=item C<BER_TYPE_INT>
674
675Encodes and decodes a BER integer value to a perl integer scalar. This
676should correctly handle 64 bit signed and unsigned values.
677
678=item C<BER_TYPE_OID>
679
680Encodes and decodes an OBJECT IDENTIFIER into dotted form without leading
681dot, e.g. C<1.3.6.1.213>.
682
683=item C<BER_TYPE_RELOID>
684
685Same as C<BER_TYPE_OID> but uses relative object identifier
686encoding: ASN.1 has this hack of encoding the first two OID components
687into a single integer in a weird attempt to save an insignificant amount
688of space in an otherwise wasteful encoding, and relative OIDs are
689basically OIDs without this hack. The practical difference is that the
690second component of an OID can only have the values 1..40, while relative
691OIDs do not have this restriction.
692
693=item C<BER_TYPE_NULL>
694
695Decodes an C<ASN_NULL> value into C<undef>, and always encodes a
696C<ASN_NULL> type, regardless of the perl value.
697
698=item C<BER_TYPE_BOOL>
699
700Decodes an C<ASN_BOOLEAN> value into C<0> or C<1>, and encodes a perl
701boolean value into an C<ASN_BOOLEAN>.
702
703=item C<BER_TYPE_REAL>
704
705Decodes/encodes a BER real value. NOT IMPLEMENTED.
706
707=item C<BER_TYPE_IPADDRESS>
708
709Decodes/encodes a four byte string into an IPv4 dotted-quad address string
710in Perl. Given the obsolete nature of this type, this is a low-effort
711implementation that simply uses C<sprintf> and C<sscanf>-style conversion,
712so it won't handle all string forms supported by C<inet_aton> for example.
713
714=item C<BER_TYPE_CROAK>
715
716Always croaks when encountered during encoding or decoding - the
717default behaviour when encountering an unknown type is to treat it as
718C<BER_TYPE_BYTES>. When you don't want that but instead prefer a hard
719error for some types, then C<BER_TYPE_CROAK> is for you.
720

723=head2 Example Profile
724
725The following creates a profile suitable for SNMP - it's exactly identical
726to the C<$Convert::BER::XS::SNMP_PROFILE> profile.
727
728 our $SNMP_PROFILE = new Convert::BER::XS::Profile;
729
730 $SNMP_PROFILE->set (ASN_APPLICATION, SNMP_IPADDRESS , BER_TYPE_IPADDRESS);
731 $SNMP_PROFILE->set (ASN_APPLICATION, SNMP_COUNTER32 , BER_TYPE_INT);
732 $SNMP_PROFILE->set (ASN_APPLICATION, SNMP_UNSIGNED32, BER_TYPE_INT);
733 $SNMP_PROFILE->set (ASN_APPLICATION, SNMP_TIMETICKS , BER_TYPE_INT);
734 $SNMP_PROFILE->set (ASN_APPLICATION, SNMP_OPAQUE , BER_TYPE_IPADDRESS);
735 $SNMP_PROFILE->set (ASN_APPLICATION, SNMP_COUNTER64 , BER_TYPE_INT);
736
737=head2 LIMITATIONS/NOTES
738
739This module can only en-/decode 64 bit signed and unsigned integers, and
740only when your perl supports those.
741
742This module does not generally care about ranges, i.e. it will happily
743de-/encode 64 bit integers into an C<ASN_INTEGER> value, or a negative
744number into an C<SNMP_COUNTER64>.
745
746OBJECT IDENTIFIEERs cannot have unlimited length, although the limit is
747much larger than e.g. the one imposed by SNMP or other protocols,a nd is
748about 4kB.
749
750Indefinite length encoding is not supported.
751
752Constructed strings are decoded just fine, but there should be a way to
753join them for convenience.
754
755REAL values are not supported and will currently croak.
756
757The encoder and decoder tend to accept more formats than should be
758strictly supported.
759
760This module has undergone little to no testing so far.
761
762=head2 ITHREADS SUPPORT
763
764This module is unlikely to work when the (officially discouraged) ithreads
765are in use.
