|
415 | While any BER data can be correctly encoded and decoded out of the box, it |
|
|
416 | can be inconvenient to have to manually decode some values into a "better" |
|
|
417 | format: for instance, SNMP TimeTicks values are decoded into the raw octet |
|
|
418 | strings of their BER representation, which is quite hard to decode. With |
|
|
419 | profiles, you can change which class/tag combinations map to which decoder |
|
|
420 | function inside C<ber_decode> (and of course also which encoder functions |
|
|
421 | are used in C<ber_encode>). |
|
|
422 | |
|
|
423 | This works by mapping specific class/tag combinations to an internal "ber |
|
|
424 | type". |
|
|
425 | |
|
|
426 | The default profile supports the standard ASN.1 types, but no |
|
|
427 | application-specific ones. This means that class/tag combinations not in |
|
|
428 | the base set of ASN.1 are decoded into their raw octet strings. |
|
|
429 | |
|
|
430 | C<Convert::BER::XS> defines two profile variables you can use out of the box: |
|

436 | This is the default profile, i.e. the profile that is used when no |
|
|
437 | profile is specified for de-/encoding. |

|
442 | =item C<$Convert::BER::XS::SNMP_PROFILE> |
|
|
443 | |
|
|
444 | A profile with mappings for SNMP-specific application tags added. This is |
|
|
445 | useful when de-/encoding SNMP data. |
|
|
446 | |
|
|
447 | Example: |
|
|
448 | |
|
|
449 | $ber = ber_decode $data, $Convert::BER::XS::SNMP_PROFILE; |

|
|
458 | |
|
|
459 | Create a new profile. The profile will be identical to the default |
|
|
460 | profile. |
|
|
461 | |
|
|
462 | =item $profile->set ($class, $tag, $type) |
|
|
463 | |
|
|
464 | Sets the mapping for the given C<$class>/C<$tag> combination to C<$type>, |
|
|
465 | which must be one of the C<BER_TYPE_*> constants. |
|
|
466 | |
|
|
467 | Note that currently, the mapping is stored in a flat array, so large |
|
|
468 | values of C<$tag> will consume large amounts of memory. |
|
|
469 | |
|
|
470 | Example: |
|
|
471 | |
|
|
472 | $profile = new Convert::BER::XS::Profile; |
|
|
473 | $profile->set (ASN_APPLICATION, SNMP_COUNTER32, BER_TYPE_INT); |

|

475 | |
|
|
476 | =item $type = $profile->get ($class, $tag) |

|
477 | |

|
|
489 | =item C<BER_TYPE_BYTES> |
|
|
490 | |
|
|
491 | The raw octets of the value. This is the default type for unknown tags and |
|
|
492 | de-/encodes the value as if it were an octet string, i.e. by copying the |
|
|
493 | raw bytes. |
|
|
494 | |
|
|
495 | =item C<BER_TYPE_UTF8> |
|
|
496 | |
|
|
497 | Like C<BER_TYPE_BYTES>, but decodes the value as if it were a UTF-8 string |
|
|
498 | (without validation!) and encodes a perl unicode string into a UTF-8 BER |
|
|
499 | string. |
|
|
500 | |
|
|
501 | =item C<BER_TYPE_UCS2> |
|
|
502 | |
|
|
503 | Similar to C<BER_TYPE_UTF8>, but treats the BER value as UCS-2 encoded |
|
|
504 | string. |
|
|
505 | |
|
|
506 | =item C<BER_TYPE_UCS4> |
|
|
507 | |
|
|
508 | Similar to C<BER_TYPE_UTF8>, but treats the BER value as UCS-4 encoded |
|
|
509 | string. |
|
|
510 | |
|
|
511 | =item C<BER_TYPE_INT> |
|
|
512 | |
|
|
513 | Encodes and decodes a BER integer value to a perl integer scalar. This |
|
|
514 | should correctly handle 64 bit signed and unsigned values. |
|
|
515 | |
|
|
516 | =item C<BER_TYPE_OID> |
|
|
517 | |
|
|
518 | Encodes and decodes an OBJECT IDENTIFIER into dotted form without leading |
|
|
519 | dot, e.g. C<1.3.6.1.213>. |
|
|
520 | |
|
|
521 | =item C<BER_TYPE_RELOID> |
|
|
522 | |
|
|
523 | Same as C<BER_TYPE_OID> but uses relative object identifier |
|
|
524 | encoding: ASN.1 has this hack of encoding the first two OID components |
|
|
525 | into a single integer in a weird attempt to save an insignificant amount |
|
|
526 | of space in an otherwise wasteful encoding, and relative OIDs are |
|
|
527 | basically OIDs without this hack. The practical difference is that the |
|
|
528 | second component of an OID can only have the values 1..40, while relative |
|
|
529 | OIDs do not have this restriction. |
|
|
530 | |
|
|
531 | =item C<BER_TYPE_NULL> |
|
|
532 | |
|
|
533 | Decodes an C<ASN_NULL> value into C<undef>, and always encodes a |
|
|
534 | C<ASN_NULL> type, regardless of the perl value. |
|
|
535 | |
|
|
536 | =item C<BER_TYPE_BOOL> |
|
|
537 | |
|
|
538 | Decodes an C<ASN_BOOLEAN> value into C<0> or C<1>, and encodes a perl |
|
|
539 | boolean value into an C<ASN_BOOLEAN>. |
|
|
540 | |
|
|
541 | =item C<BER_TYPE_REAL> |
|
|
542 | |
|
|
543 | Decodes/encodes a BER real value. NOT IMPLEMENTED. |
|
|
544 | |
|
|
545 | =item C<BER_TYPE_IPADDRESS> |
|
|
546 | |
|
|
547 | Decodes/encodes a four byte string into an IPv4 dotted-quad address string |
|
|
548 | in Perl. Given the obsolete nature of this type, this is a low-effort |
|
|
549 | implementation that simply uses C<sprintf> and C<sscanf>-style conversion, |
|
|
550 | so it won't handle all string forms supported by C<inet_aton> for example. |
|
|
551 | |
|
|
552 | =item C<BER_TYPE_CROAK> |
|
|
553 | |
|
|
554 | Always croaks when encountered during encoding or decoding - the |
|
|
555 | default behaviour when encountering an unknown type is to treat it as |
|
|
556 | C<BER_TYPE_BYTES>. When you don't want that but instead prefer a hard |
|
|
557 | error for some types, then C<BER_TYPE_CROAK> is for you. |

578 | =head2 LIMITATIONS/NOTES |
304 | |
579 | |
305 | This module does have a number of SNMPisms hardcoded, such as the SNMP |
580 | This module can only en-/decode 64 bit signed and unsigned integers, and |
306 | tags for Unsigned32 and so on. More configurability is needed, and, if |
581 | only when your perl supports those. |
307 | ever implemented, will come in a form similar to how L<JSON::XS> and |
582 | |
308 | L<CBOR::XS> respresent things, namely with an object-oriented interface. |
583 | This module does not generally care about ranges, i.e. it will happily |
|
|
584 | de-/encode 64 bit integers into an C<ASN_INTEGER32> value, or a negative |
|
|
585 | number into an C<SNMP_COUNTER64>. |
|
|
586 | |
|
|
587 | OBJECT IDENTIFIEERs cannot have unlimited length, although the limit is |
|
|
588 | much larger than e.g. the one imposed by SNMP or other protocols,a nd is |
|
|
589 | about 4kB. |
|
|
590 | |
|
|
591 | REAL values are not supported and will currently croak. |
|
|
592 | |
|
|
593 | This module has undergone little to no testing so far. |
|
|
594 | |
|
|
595 | =head2 ITHREADS SUPPORT |
|
|
596 | |
|
|
597 | This module is unlikely to work when the (officially discouraged) ithreads |
|
|
598 | are in use. |
