|
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, $Convert::BER::XS::SNMP_PROFILE; |
|
|
286 | |
|
|
287 | =item ($tuple, $bytes) = ber_decode_prefix $bindata[, $profile] |
|
|
288 | |
|
|
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. |

483 | |
|
|
484 | In addition to specifying the BER C<$tuple> to dump, youc an also specify |
|
|
485 | a C<$profile> and a C<$prefix> string that is printed in front of each line. |
|
|
486 | |
|
|
487 | If C<$profile> is C<$Convert::BER::XS::SNMP_PROFILE>, then C<ber_dump> |
|
|
488 | will try to improve its output for SNMP data. |
|
|
489 | |
|
|
490 | The output usually contains three columns, the "human readable" tag, the |
|
|
491 | BER type used to decode it, and the data value. |
|
|
492 | |

493 | This function is somewhat slow and uses a number of heuristics and tricks, |

|
|
579 | While any BER data can be correctly encoded and decoded out of the box, it |
|
|
580 | can be inconvenient to have to manually decode some values into a "better" |
|
|
581 | format: for instance, SNMP TimeTicks values are decoded into the raw octet |
|
|
582 | strings of their BER representation, which is quite hard to decode. With |
|
|
583 | profiles, you can change which class/tag combinations map to which decoder |
|
|
584 | function inside C<ber_decode> (and of course also which encoder functions |
|
|
585 | are used in C<ber_encode>). |
|
|
586 | |
|
|
587 | This works by mapping specific class/tag combinations to an internal "ber |
|
|
588 | type". |
|
|
589 | |
|
|
590 | The default profile supports the standard ASN.1 types, but no |
|
|
591 | application-specific ones. This means that class/tag combinations not in |
|
|
592 | the base set of ASN.1 are decoded into their raw octet strings. |
|
|
593 | |
|
|
594 | C<Convert::BER::XS> defines two profile variables you can use out of the box: |
|
|
595 | |
|
|
596 | =over |
|
|
597 | |
|
|
598 | =item C<$Convert::BER::XS::DEFAULT_PROFILE> |
|
|
599 | |
|
|
600 | This is the default profile, i.e. the profile that is used when no |
|
|
601 | profile is specified for de-/encoding. |
|
|
602 | |
|
|
603 | You can modify it, but remember that this modifies the defaults for all |
|
|
604 | callers that rely on the default profile. |
|
|
605 | |
|
|
606 | =item C<$Convert::BER::XS::SNMP_PROFILE> |
|
|
607 | |
|
|
608 | A profile with mappings for SNMP-specific application tags added. This is |
|
|
609 | useful when de-/encoding SNMP data. |
|
|
610 | |
|
|
611 | Example: |
|
|
612 | |
|
|
613 | $ber = ber_decode $data, $Convert::BER::XS::SNMP_PROFILE; |
|
|
614 | |

|
|
617 | =head2 The Convert::BER::XS::Profile class |
|
|
618 | |
|
|
619 | =over |
|
|
620 | |
|
|
621 | =item $profile = new Convert::BER::XS::Profile |
|
|
622 | |
|
|
623 | Create a new profile. The profile will be identical to the default |
|
|
624 | profile. |
|
|
625 | |
|
|
626 | =item $profile->set ($class, $tag, $type) |
|
|
627 | |
|
|
628 | Sets the mapping for the given C<$class>/C<$tag> combination to C<$type>, |
|
|
629 | which must be one of the C<BER_TYPE_*> constants. |
|
|
630 | |
|
|
631 | Note that currently, the mapping is stored in a flat array, so large |
|
|
632 | values of C<$tag> will consume large amounts of memory. |
|
|
633 | |
|
|
634 | Example: |
|
|
635 | |
|
|
636 | $profile = new Convert::BER::XS::Profile; |
|
|
637 | $profile->set (ASN_APPLICATION, SNMP_COUNTER32, BER_TYPE_INT); |
|
|
638 | $ber = ber_decode $data, $profile; |
|
|
639 | |
|
|
640 | =item $type = $profile->get ($class, $tag) |
|
|
641 | |
|
|
642 | Returns the BER type mapped to the given C<$class>/C<$tag> combination. |

|

647 | |

648 | This lists the predefined BER types - you can map any C<CLASS>/C<TAG> |
|
|
649 | combination to any C<BER_TYPE_*>. |
|

650 | |
|
|
651 | =over |
|
|
652 | |
|
|
653 | =item C<BER_TYPE_BYTES> |
|
|
654 | |
|
|
655 | The raw octets of the value. This is the default type for unknown tags and |
|
|
656 | de-/encodes the value as if it were an octet string, i.e. by copying the |
|
|
657 | raw bytes. |
|
|
658 | |
|
|
659 | =item C<BER_TYPE_UTF8> |
|
|
660 | |
|
|
661 | Like C<BER_TYPE_BYTES>, but decodes the value as if it were a UTF-8 string |
|
|
662 | (without validation!) and encodes a perl unicode string into a UTF-8 BER |
|
|
663 | string. |
|
|
664 | |
|
|
665 | =item C<BER_TYPE_UCS2> |
|
|
666 | |
|
|
667 | Similar to C<BER_TYPE_UTF8>, but treats the BER value as UCS-2 encoded |
|
|
668 | string. |
|
|
669 | |
|
|
670 | =item C<BER_TYPE_UCS4> |
|
|
671 | |
|
|
672 | Similar to C<BER_TYPE_UTF8>, but treats the BER value as UCS-4 encoded |
|
|
673 | string. |
|
|
674 | |
|
|
675 | =item C<BER_TYPE_INT> |
|
|
676 | |
|
|
677 | Encodes and decodes a BER integer value to a perl integer scalar. This |
|
|
678 | should correctly handle 64 bit signed and unsigned values. |
|
|
679 | |
|
|
680 | =item C<BER_TYPE_OID> |
|
|
681 | |
|
|
682 | Encodes and decodes an OBJECT IDENTIFIER into dotted form without leading |
|
|
683 | dot, e.g. C<1.3.6.1.213>. |
|
|
684 | |
|
|
685 | =item C<BER_TYPE_RELOID> |
|
|
686 | |
|
|
687 | Same as C<BER_TYPE_OID> but uses relative object identifier |
|
|
688 | encoding: ASN.1 has this hack of encoding the first two OID components |
|
|
689 | into a single integer in a weird attempt to save an insignificant amount |
|
|
690 | of space in an otherwise wasteful encoding, and relative OIDs are |
|
|
691 | basically OIDs without this hack. The practical difference is that the |
|
|
692 | second component of an OID can only have the values 1..40, while relative |
|
|
693 | OIDs do not have this restriction. |
|
|
694 | |
|
|
695 | =item C<BER_TYPE_NULL> |
|
|
696 | |
|
|
697 | Decodes an C<ASN_NULL> value into C<undef>, and always encodes a |
|
|
698 | C<ASN_NULL> type, regardless of the perl value. |
|
|
699 | |
|
|
700 | =item C<BER_TYPE_BOOL> |
|
|
701 | |
|
|
702 | Decodes an C<ASN_BOOLEAN> value into C<0> or C<1>, and encodes a perl |
|
|
703 | boolean value into an C<ASN_BOOLEAN>. |
|
|
704 | |
|
|
705 | =item C<BER_TYPE_REAL> |
|
|
706 | |
|
|
707 | Decodes/encodes a BER real value. NOT IMPLEMENTED. |
|
|
708 | |
|
|
709 | =item C<BER_TYPE_IPADDRESS> |
|
|
710 | |
|
|
711 | Decodes/encodes a four byte string into an IPv4 dotted-quad address string |
|
|
712 | in Perl. Given the obsolete nature of this type, this is a low-effort |
|
|
713 | implementation that simply uses C<sprintf> and C<sscanf>-style conversion, |
|
|
714 | so it won't handle all string forms supported by C<inet_aton> for example. |
|
|
715 | |
|
|
716 | =item C<BER_TYPE_CROAK> |
|
|
717 | |
|
|
718 | Always croaks when encountered during encoding or decoding - the |
|
|
719 | default behaviour when encountering an unknown type is to treat it as |
|
|
720 | C<BER_TYPE_BYTES>. When you don't want that but instead prefer a hard |
|
|
721 | error for some types, then C<BER_TYPE_CROAK> is for you. |

725 | =head2 Example Profile |
|
|
726 | |
|
|
727 | The following creates a profile suitable for SNMP - it's exactly identical |
|
|
728 | to the C<$Convert::BER::XS::SNMP_PROFILE> profile. |
|
|
729 | |
|
|
730 | our $SNMP_PROFILE = new Convert::BER::XS::Profile; |
|
|
731 | |
|
|
732 | $SNMP_PROFILE->set (ASN_APPLICATION, SNMP_IPADDRESS , BER_TYPE_IPADDRESS); |
|
|
733 | $SNMP_PROFILE->set (ASN_APPLICATION, SNMP_COUNTER32 , BER_TYPE_INT); |
|
|
734 | $SNMP_PROFILE->set (ASN_APPLICATION, SNMP_UNSIGNED32, BER_TYPE_INT); |
|
|
735 | $SNMP_PROFILE->set (ASN_APPLICATION, SNMP_TIMETICKS , BER_TYPE_INT); |
|
|
736 | $SNMP_PROFILE->set (ASN_APPLICATION, SNMP_OPAQUE , BER_TYPE_IPADDRESS); |
|
|
737 | $SNMP_PROFILE->set (ASN_APPLICATION, SNMP_COUNTER64 , BER_TYPE_INT); |

|
739 | =head2 LIMITATIONS/NOTES |
|
|
740 | |
|
|
741 | This module can only en-/decode 64 bit signed and unsigned integers, and |
|
|
742 | only when your perl supports those. |
|
|
743 | |
|
|
744 | This module does not generally care about ranges, i.e. it will happily |
|
|
745 | de-/encode 64 bit integers into an C<ASN_INTEGER> value, or a negative |
|
|
746 | number into an C<SNMP_COUNTER64>. |
|
|
747 | |
|
|
748 | OBJECT IDENTIFIEERs cannot have unlimited length, although the limit is |
|
|
749 | much larger than e.g. the one imposed by SNMP or other protocols,a nd is |
|
|
750 | about 4kB. |
|
|
751 | |
|
|
752 | Indefinite length encoding is not supported. |
|
|
753 | |
|
|
754 | Constructed strings are decoded just fine, but there should be a way to |
|
|
755 | join them for convenience. |
|
|
756 | |
|
|
757 | REAL values are not supported and will currently croak. |
|
|
758 | |
|
|
759 | The encoder and decoder tend to accept more formats than should be |
|
|
760 | strictly supported. |
|
|
761 | |
|
|
762 | This module has undergone little to no testing so far. |
|
|
763 | |
|
|
764 | =head2 ITHREADS SUPPORT |
|
|
765 | |
|
|
766 | This module is unlikely to work when the (officially discouraged) ithreads |
|
|
767 | are in use. |
