260=item $tuple = ber_decode $bindata[, $profile]
261
262Decodes binary BER data in C<$bindata> and returns the resulting BER
263tuple. Croaks on any decoding error, so the returned C<$tuple> is always
264valid.
265
266How tags are interpreted is defined by the second argument, which must
267be a C<Convert::BER::XS::Profile> object. If it is missing, the default
268profile will be used (C<$Convert::BER::XS::DEFAULT_PROFILE>).
269
270In addition to rolling your own, this module provides a
271C<$Convert::BER::XS::SNMP_PROFILE> that knows about the additional SNMP
272types.
273
274Example: decode a BER blob using the default profile - SNMP values will be
275decided as raw strings.
276
277 $tuple = ber_decode $data;
278
279Example: as above, but use the provided SNMP profile.
280
281 $tuple = ber_encode $data, $Convert::BER::XS::SNMP_PROFILE;
282
283=item ($tuple, $bytes) = ber_decode_prefix $bindata[, $profile]
284
285Works like C<ber_decode>, except it doesn't croak when there is data after
286the BER data, but instead returns the decoded value and the number of
287bytes it decoded.
288
289This is useful when you have BER data at the start of a buffer and other
290data after, and you need to find the length.
291
292Also, since BER is self-delimited, this can be used to decode multiple BER
293values joined together.
294
295=item $bindata = ber_encode $tuple[, $profile]
296
297Encodes the BER tuple into a BER/DER data structure. AS with
298Cyber_decode>, an optional profile can be given.
299
300The encoded data should be both BER and DER ("shortest form") compliant
301unless the input says otherwise (e.g. it uses constructed strings).

456
457While any BER data can be correctly encoded and decoded out of the box, it
458can be inconvenient to have to manually decode some values into a "better"
459format: for instance, SNMP TimeTicks values are decoded into the raw octet
460strings of their BER representation, which is quite hard to decode. With
461profiles, you can change which class/tag combinations map to which decoder
462function inside C<ber_decode> (and of course also which encoder functions
463are used in C<ber_encode>).
464
465This works by mapping specific class/tag combinations to an internal "ber
466type".
467
468The default profile supports the standard ASN.1 types, but no
469application-specific ones. This means that class/tag combinations not in
470the base set of ASN.1 are decoded into their raw octet strings.
471
472C<Convert::BER::XS> defines two profile variables you can use out of the box:
473
474=over
475
476=item C<$Convert::BER::XS::DEFAULT_PROFILE>
477
478This is the default profile, i.e. the profile that is used when no
479profile is specified for de-/encoding.
480
481You can modify it, but remember that this modifies the defaults for all
482callers that rely on the default profile.
483
484=item C<$Convert::BER::XS::SNMP_PROFILE>
485
486A profile with mappings for SNMP-specific application tags added. This is
487useful when de-/encoding SNMP data.
488
489Example:
490
491 $ber = ber_decode $data, $Convert::BER::XS::SNMP_PROFILE;
492
493=back
494
495=head2 The Convert::BER::XS::Profile class
496
497=over
498
499=item $profile = new Convert::BER::XS::Profile
500
501Create a new profile. The profile will be identical to the default
502profile.
503
504=item $profile->set ($class, $tag, $type)
505
506Sets the mapping for the given C<$class>/C<$tag> combination to C<$type>,
507which must be one of the C<BER_TYPE_*> constants.
508
509Note that currently, the mapping is stored in a flat array, so large
510values of C<$tag> will consume large amounts of memory.
511
512Example:
513
514 $profile = new Convert::BER::XS::Profile;
515 $profile->set (ASN_APPLICATION, SNMP_COUNTER32, BER_TYPE_INT);
516 $ber = ber_decode $data, $profile;
517
518=item $type = $profile->get ($class, $tag)
519
520Returns the BER type mapped to the given C<$class>/C<$tag> combination.
521
522=back
523
524=head2 BER TYPES
525
526This lists the predefined BER types - you can map any C<CLASS>/C<TAG>
527combination to any C<BER_TYPE_*>.
528
529=over
530
531=item C<BER_TYPE_BYTES>
532
533The raw octets of the value. This is the default type for unknown tags and
534de-/encodes the value as if it were an octet string, i.e. by copying the
535raw bytes.
536
537=item C<BER_TYPE_UTF8>
538
539Like C<BER_TYPE_BYTES>, but decodes the value as if it were a UTF-8 string
540(without validation!) and encodes a perl unicode string into a UTF-8 BER
541string.
542
543=item C<BER_TYPE_UCS2>
544
545Similar to C<BER_TYPE_UTF8>, but treats the BER value as UCS-2 encoded
546string.
547
548=item C<BER_TYPE_UCS4>
549
550Similar to C<BER_TYPE_UTF8>, but treats the BER value as UCS-4 encoded
551string.
552
553=item C<BER_TYPE_INT>
554
555Encodes and decodes a BER integer value to a perl integer scalar. This
556should correctly handle 64 bit signed and unsigned values.
557
558=item C<BER_TYPE_OID>
559
560Encodes and decodes an OBJECT IDENTIFIER into dotted form without leading
561dot, e.g. C<1.3.6.1.213>.
562
563=item C<BER_TYPE_RELOID>
564
565Same as C<BER_TYPE_OID> but uses relative object identifier
566encoding: ASN.1 has this hack of encoding the first two OID components
567into a single integer in a weird attempt to save an insignificant amount
568of space in an otherwise wasteful encoding, and relative OIDs are
569basically OIDs without this hack. The practical difference is that the
570second component of an OID can only have the values 1..40, while relative
571OIDs do not have this restriction.
572
573=item C<BER_TYPE_NULL>
574
575Decodes an C<ASN_NULL> value into C<undef>, and always encodes a
576C<ASN_NULL> type, regardless of the perl value.
577
578=item C<BER_TYPE_BOOL>
579
580Decodes an C<ASN_BOOLEAN> value into C<0> or C<1>, and encodes a perl
581boolean value into an C<ASN_BOOLEAN>.
582
583=item C<BER_TYPE_REAL>
584
585Decodes/encodes a BER real value. NOT IMPLEMENTED.
586
587=item C<BER_TYPE_IPADDRESS>
588
589Decodes/encodes a four byte string into an IPv4 dotted-quad address string
590in Perl. Given the obsolete nature of this type, this is a low-effort
591implementation that simply uses C<sprintf> and C<sscanf>-style conversion,
592so it won't handle all string forms supported by C<inet_aton> for example.
593
594=item C<BER_TYPE_CROAK>
595
596Always croaks when encountered during encoding or decoding - the
597default behaviour when encountering an unknown type is to treat it as
598C<BER_TYPE_BYTES>. When you don't want that but instead prefer a hard
599error for some types, then C<BER_TYPE_CROAK> is for you.

303=head2 BUGS / SHORTCOMINGs 635=head2 LIMITATIONS/NOTES
304 636
305This module does have a number of SNMPisms hardcoded, such as the SNMP 637This module can only en-/decode 64 bit signed and unsigned integers, and
306tags for Unsigned32 and so on. More configurability is needed, and, if 638only when your perl supports those.
307ever implemented, will come in a form similar to how L<JSON::XS> and 639
308L<CBOR::XS> respresent things, namely with an object-oriented interface. 640This module does not generally care about ranges, i.e. it will happily
641de-/encode 64 bit integers into an C<ASN_INTEGER> value, or a negative
642number into an C<SNMP_COUNTER64>.
643
644OBJECT IDENTIFIEERs cannot have unlimited length, although the limit is
645much larger than e.g. the one imposed by SNMP or other protocols,a nd is
646about 4kB.
647
648Indefinite length encoding is not supported.
649
650Constructed strings are decoded just fine, but there should be a way to
651join them for convenience.
652
653REAL values are not supported and will currently croak.
654
655The encoder and decoder tend to accept more formats than should be
656strictly supported.
657
658This module has undergone little to no testing so far.

663are in use.
