If the .Fa inbytes argument is negative, the .Xr strlen 3 of .Fa in is used instead. .Pp The .Fa inform argument specifies the character encoding of .Fa in : .Bl -column MBSTRING_UNIV encoding .It Ar inform Ta encoding .It Dv MBSTRING_ASC Ta ISO-Latin-1 .It Dv MBSTRING_BMP Ta UTF-16 .It Dv MBSTRING_UNIV Ta UTF-32 .It Dv MBSTRING_UTF8 Ta UTF-8 .El .Pp The bit .Fa mask specifies a set of ASN.1 string types that the user is willing to accept: .Bl -column B_ASN1_UNIVERSALSTRING ASN1_UNIVERSALSTRING default .It bit in Fa mask Ta acceptable output type Ta default .It Dv B_ASN1_PRINTABLESTRING Ta Vt ASN1_PRINTABLESTRING Ta yes .It Dv B_ASN1_IA5STRING Ta Vt ASN1_IA5STRING Ta no .It Dv B_ASN1_T61STRING Ta Vt ASN1_T61STRING Ta yes .It Dv B_ASN1_BMPSTRING Ta Vt ASN1_BMPSTRING Ta yes .It Dv B_ASN1_UNIVERSALSTRING Ta Vt ASN1_UNIVERSALSTRING Ta no .It any other bit Ta Vt ASN1_UTF8STRING Ta yes .El .Pp The first type from the above table that is included in the .Fa mask argument and that can represent .Fa in is used as the output type. The .Dq default column indicates whether the type is considered acceptable if the .Fa mask argument has the special value 0. .Pp The following bit mask constants each include several of the bits listed above: .Bl -column B_ASN1_DIRECTORYSTRING_ MMM MMM MMM MMM MMM MMMM .It mask constant Ta PRI Ta IA5 Ta T61 Ta BMP Ta UNI Ta UTF8 .It Dv B_ASN1_DIRECTORYSTRING Ta yes Ta no Ta yes Ta yes Ta yes Ta yes .It Dv DIRSTRING_TYPE Ta yes Ta no Ta yes Ta yes Ta no Ta yes .It Dv PKCS9STRING_TYPE Ta yes Ta yes Ta yes Ta yes Ta no Ta yes .El .Pp If .Fa out is .Dv NULL , .Fa inform , .Fa inbytes , and .Fa in are validated and the output type is determined and returned, but nothing is copied. .Pp Otherwise, if .Pf * Fa out is .Dv NULL , a new output object of the output type is allocated and a pointer to it is stored in .Pf * Fa out . .Pp Otherwise, .Pf ** Fa out is used as the output object. Any data already stored in it is freed and its type is changed to the output type. .Pp Finally, .Fa in is copied to the output object, changing the character encoding if .Fa inform does not match the encoding used by the output type. .Pp .Fn ASN1_mbstring_ncopy is similar except that the number of characters in .Fa in is restricted to the range from .Fa minchars to .Fa maxchars , inclusive. If .Fa maxchars is 0, no upper limit is enforced on the number of characters. .Pp .Fn ASN1_STRING_set_by_NID is similar with the following differences: .Bl -bullet -width 1n .It If .Fa out is .Dv NULL , a new output object is allocated and returned instead of skipping the copying. .It If .Fa nid has a global string table entry that can be retrieved with .Xr ASN1_STRING_TABLE_get 3 , .Fa mask , .Fa minchars , and .Fa maxchars are taken from that string table entry. For some values of .Fa nid , an additional global mask is AND'ed into the mask before using it. The default value of the global mask is .Dv B_ASN1_UTF8STRING . .It If .Fa nid has no global string table entry, .Dv B_ASN1_PRINTABLESTRING | B_ASN1_T61STRING | .Dv B_ASN1_BMPSTRING | B_ASN1_UTF8STRING is used instead of the mask taken from the table, and the global mask is also AND'ed into it. .It Even though success and failure happen in the same situations, the return value is different. .Xr ASN1_STRING_type 3 can be used to determine the type of the return value. .El .Pp .Fn ASN1_STRING_set_default_mask sets the global mask used by .Fn ASN1_STRING_set_by_NID to the .Fa mask argument. .Pp .Fn ASN1_STRING_set_default_mask_asc sets the global mask as follows: .Bl -column utf8only .It Ar maskname Ta Ar mask .It Qo default Qc Ta anything .It Qo nombstr Qc Ta anything except Dv B_ASN1_BMPSTRING | B_ASN1_UTF8STRING .It Qo pkix Qc Ta anything except Dv B_ASN1_T61STRING .It Qo utf8only Qc Ta Dv B_ASN1_UTF8STRING .El .Pp If the .Fa maskname argument starts with the substring .Qq MASK:\& , the rest of it is interpreted as an .Vt unsigned long value using .Xr strtoul 3 . .Pp .Fn ASN1_tag2bit translates ASN.1 data types to type bits as follows: .Bl -column V_ASN1_OBJECT_DESCRIPTOR B_ASN1_UNIVERSALSTRING .It Fa tag Ta return value .It Dv V_ASN1_BIT_STRING Ta Dv B_ASN1_BIT_STRING .It Dv V_ASN1_BMPSTRING Ta Dv B_ASN1_BMPSTRING .It Dv V_ASN1_BOOLEAN Ta 0 .It Dv V_ASN1_ENUMERATED Ta Dv B_ASN1_UNKNOWN .It Dv V_ASN1_EOC Ta 0 .It Dv V_ASN1_EXTERNAL Ta Dv B_ASN1_UNKNOWN .It Dv V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME Ta Dv B_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME .It Dv V_ASN1_GENERALSTRING Ta Dv B_ASN1_GENERALSTRING .It Dv V_ASN1_GRAPHICSTRING Ta Dv B_ASN1_GRAPHICSTRING .It Dv V_ASN1_IA5STRING Ta Dv B_ASN1_IA5STRING .It Dv V_ASN1_INTEGER Ta 0 .It Dv V_ASN1_ISO64STRING Ta Dv B_ASN1_ISO64STRING .It Dv V_ASN1_NULL Ta 0 .It Dv V_ASN1_NUMERICSTRING Ta Dv B_ASN1_NUMERICSTRING .It Dv V_ASN1_OBJECT Ta 0 .It Dv V_ASN1_OBJECT_DESCRIPTOR Ta Dv B_ASN1_UNKNOWN .It Dv V_ASN1_OCTET_STRING Ta Dv B_ASN1_OCTET_STRING .It Dv V_ASN1_PRINTABLESTRING Ta Dv B_ASN1_PRINTABLESTRING .It Dv V_ASN1_REAL Ta Dv B_ASN1_UNKNOWN .It Dv V_ASN1_SEQUENCE Ta Dv B_ASN1_SEQUENCE .It Dv V_ASN1_SET Ta 0 .It Dv V_ASN1_T61STRING Ta Dv B_ASN1_T61STRING .It Dv V_ASN1_TELETEXSTRING Ta Dv B_ASN1_TELETEXSTRING .It Dv V_ASN1_UNDEF Ta 0 .It Dv V_ASN1_UNIVERSALSTRING Ta Dv B_ASN1_UNIVERSALSTRING .It Dv V_ASN1_UTCTIME Ta Dv B_ASN1_UTCTIME .It Dv V_ASN1_UTF8STRING Ta Dv B_ASN1_UTF8STRING .It Dv V_ASN1_VIDEOTEXSTRING Ta Dv B_ASN1_VIDEOTEXSTRING .It Dv V_ASN1_VISIBLESTRING Ta Dv B_ASN1_VISIBLESTRING .It 11, 13, 14, 15, 29 Ta Dv B_ASN1_UNKNOWN .It Dv other Po < 0, > 30 Pc Ta Dv 0 .El .Pp In typical usage, the calling code calculates the bitwise AND of the return value and a mask describing data types that the calling code is willing to use. If the result of the AND operation is non-zero, the data type is adequate; otherwise, the calling code may need to raise an error. .Sh RETURN VALUES .Fn ASN1_mbstring_copy and .Fn ASN1_mbstring_ncopy return the .Dv V_ASN1_* constant representing the output type or \-1 if .Fa inform is invalid, if .Fa inbytes or .Fa in is invalid for the .Fa inform encoding, if .Fa in contains an UTF-16 surrogate, which is unsupported even for input using the UTF-16 encoding, or if memory allocation fails. .Pp .Fn ASN1_mbstring_ncopy also returns \-1 if .Fa in contains fewer than .Fa minchars or more than .Fa maxchars characters. .Pp .Fn ASN1_STRING_set_by_NID returns the new or changed ASN.1 string object or .Dv NULL on failure. .Pp .Fn ASN1_STRING_set_default_mask_asc returns 1 if successful or 0 if .Qq MASK:\& is not followed by a number, if the number is followed by a non-numeric character, or if the .Fa maskname is invalid. .Pp .Fn ASN1_STRING_get_default_mask returns the global mask. .Pp .Fn ASN1_tag2bit returns a .Dv B_ASN1_* constant or 0. .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr ASN1_PRINTABLE_type 3 , .Xr ASN1_STRING_new 3 , .Xr ASN1_STRING_set 3 , .Xr ASN1_STRING_TABLE_get 3 , .Xr ASN1_UNIVERSALSTRING_to_string 3 .Sh HISTORY .Fn ASN1_mbstring_copy , .Fn ASN1_mbstring_ncopy , .Fn ASN1_STRING_set_by_NID , .Fn ASN1_STRING_set_default_mask , .Fn ASN1_STRING_set_default_mask_asc , and .Fn ASN1_STRING_get_default_mask first appeared in OpenSSL 0.9.5 and have been available since .Ox 2.7 . .Pp .Fn ASN1_tag2bit first appeared in OpenSSL 0.9.7 and has been available since .Ox 3.2 . .Sh BUGS If integer overflow occurs in .Fn ASN1_STRING_set_default_mask_asc while parsing a number following .Qq MASK:\& , the function succeeds, essentially behaving in the same way as for .Qq default . .Pp Passing .Qq default to .Fn ASN1_STRING_set_default_mask_asc does .Em not restore the default mask. Instead, passing .Qq utf8only does that.
