442
443While any BER data can be correctly encoded and decoded out of the box, it
444can be inconvenient to have to manually decode some values into a "better"
445format: for instance, SNMP TimeTicks values are decoded into the raw octet
446strings of their BER representation, which is quite hard to decode. With
447profiles, you can change which class/tag combinations map to which decoder
448function inside C<ber_decode> (and of course also which encoder functions
449are used in C<ber_encode>).
450
451This works by mapping specific class/tag combinations to an internal "ber
452type".
453
454The default profile supports the standard ASN.1 types, but no
455application-specific ones. This means that class/tag combinations not in
456the base set of ASN.1 are decoded into their raw octet strings.
457
458C<Convert::BER::XS> defines two profile variables you can use out of the box:
459
460=over
461
462=item C<$Convert::BER::XS::DEFAULT_PROFILE>
463
464This is the default profile, i.e. the profile that is used when no
465profile is specified for de-/encoding.
466
467You can modify it, but remember that this modifies the defaults for all
468callers that rely on the default profile.
469
470=item C<$Convert::BER::XS::SNMP_PROFILE>
471
472A profile with mappings for SNMP-specific application tags added. This is
473useful when de-/encoding SNMP data.
474
475Example:
476
477 $ber = ber_decode $data, $Convert::BER::XS::SNMP_PROFILE;
478
479=back
480
481=head2 The Convert::BER::XS::Profile class
482
483=over
484
485=item $profile = new Convert::BER::XS::Profile
486
487Create a new profile. The profile will be identical to the default
488profile.
489
490=item $profile->set ($class, $tag, $type)
491
492Sets the mapping for the given C<$class>/C<$tag> combination to C<$type>,
493which must be one of the C<BER_TYPE_*> constants.
494
495Note that currently, the mapping is stored in a flat array, so large
496values of C<$tag> will consume large amounts of memory.
497
498Example:
499
500 $profile = new Convert::BER::XS::Profile;
501 $profile->set (ASN_APPLICATION, SNMP_COUNTER32, BER_TYPE_INT);
502 $ber = ber_decode $data, $profile;
503
504=item $type = $profile->get ($class, $tag)
505
506Returns the BER type mapped to the given C<$class>/C<$tag> combination.
507
508=back
509
510=head2 BER TYPES
511
512This lists the predefined BER types - you can map any C<CLASS>/C<TAG>
513combination to any C<BER_TYPE_*>.
514
515=over
516
517=item C<BER_TYPE_BYTES>
518
519The raw octets of the value. This is the default type for unknown tags and
520de-/encodes the value as if it were an octet string, i.e. by copying the
521raw bytes.
522
523=item C<BER_TYPE_UTF8>
524
525Like C<BER_TYPE_BYTES>, but decodes the value as if it were a UTF-8 string
526(without validation!) and encodes a perl unicode string into a UTF-8 BER
527string.
528
529=item C<BER_TYPE_UCS2>
530
531Similar to C<BER_TYPE_UTF8>, but treats the BER value as UCS-2 encoded
532string.
533
534=item C<BER_TYPE_UCS4>
535
536Similar to C<BER_TYPE_UTF8>, but treats the BER value as UCS-4 encoded
537string.
538
539=item C<BER_TYPE_INT>
540
541Encodes and decodes a BER integer value to a perl integer scalar. This
542should correctly handle 64 bit signed and unsigned values.
543
544=item C<BER_TYPE_OID>
545
546Encodes and decodes an OBJECT IDENTIFIER into dotted form without leading
547dot, e.g. C<1.3.6.1.213>.
548
549=item C<BER_TYPE_RELOID>
550
551Same as C<BER_TYPE_OID> but uses relative object identifier
552encoding: ASN.1 has this hack of encoding the first two OID components
553into a single integer in a weird attempt to save an insignificant amount
554of space in an otherwise wasteful encoding, and relative OIDs are
555basically OIDs without this hack. The practical difference is that the
556second component of an OID can only have the values 1..40, while relative
557OIDs do not have this restriction.
558
559=item C<BER_TYPE_NULL>
560
561Decodes an C<ASN_NULL> value into C<undef>, and always encodes a
562C<ASN_NULL> type, regardless of the perl value.
563
564=item C<BER_TYPE_BOOL>
565
566Decodes an C<ASN_BOOLEAN> value into C<0> or C<1>, and encodes a perl
567boolean value into an C<ASN_BOOLEAN>.
568
569=item C<BER_TYPE_REAL>
570
571Decodes/encodes a BER real value. NOT IMPLEMENTED.
572
573=item C<BER_TYPE_IPADDRESS>
574
575Decodes/encodes a four byte string into an IPv4 dotted-quad address string
576in Perl. Given the obsolete nature of this type, this is a low-effort
577implementation that simply uses C<sprintf> and C<sscanf>-style conversion,
578so it won't handle all string forms supported by C<inet_aton> for example.
579
580=item C<BER_TYPE_CROAK>
581
582Always croaks when encountered during encoding or decoding - the
583default behaviour when encountering an unknown type is to treat it as
584C<BER_TYPE_BYTES>. When you don't want that but instead prefer a hard
585error for some types, then C<BER_TYPE_CROAK> is for you.

322 622
323This module does have a number of SNMPisms hardcoded, such as the SNMP 623This module can only en-/decode 64 bit signed and unsigned integers, and
324tags for Unsigned32 and so on. More configurability is needed, and, if 624only when your perl supports those.
325ever implemented, will come in a form similar to how L<JSON::XS> and 625
326L<CBOR::XS> respresent things, namely with an object-oriented interface. 626This module does not generally care about ranges, i.e. it will happily
627de-/encode 64 bit integers into an C<ASN_INTEGER> value, or a negative
628number into an C<SNMP_COUNTER64>.
629
630OBJECT IDENTIFIEERs cannot have unlimited length, although the limit is
631much larger than e.g. the one imposed by SNMP or other protocols,a nd is
632about 4kB.
633
634Indefinite length encoding is not supported.
635
636Constructed strings are decoded just fine, but there should be a way to
637join them for convenience.
638
639REAL values are not supported and will currently croak.
640
641The encoder and decoder tend to accept more formats than should be
642strictly supported.
643
644This module has undergone little to no testing so far.

649are in use.
