.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
The following are the basic types and structures defined for use
with the Lightweight BER library.
.LP
.B ber_int_t
is a signed integer of at least 32 bits. It is commonly equivalent to
.BR int .
.B ber_uint_t
is the unsigned variant of
.BR ber_int_t .
.LP
.B ber_len_t
is an unsigned integer of at least 32 bits used to represent a length.
It is commonly equivalent to a
.BR size_t .
.B ber_slen_t
is the signed variant to
.BR ber_len_t .
.LP
.B ber_tag_t
is an unsigned integer of at least 32 bits used to represent a
BER tag. It is commonly equivalent to a
.BR unsigned\ long .
.LP
The actual definitions of the integral impl_TYPE_t types are platform
specific.
.LP
.BR BerValue ,
commonly used as
.BR struct\ berval ,
is used to hold an arbitrary sequence of octets.
.B bv_val
points to
.B bv_len
octets.
.B bv_val
is not necessarily terminated by a NULL (zero) octet.
.BR ber_bvfree ()
frees a BerValue, pointed to by \fIbv\fP, returned from this API. If \fIbv\fP
is NULL, the routine does nothing.
.LP
.BR ber_bvecfree ()
frees an array of BerValues (and the array), pointed to by \fIbvec\fP,
returned from this API. If \fIbvec\fP is NULL, the routine does nothing.
.BR ber_bvecadd ()
appends the \fIbv\fP pointer to the \fIbvec\fP array. Space for the array
is allocated as needed. The end of the array is marked by a NULL pointer.
.LP
.BR ber_bvarray_free ()
frees an array of BerValues (and the array), pointed to by \fIbvarray\fP,
returned from this API. If \fIbvarray\fP is NULL, the routine does nothing.
.BR ber_bvarray_add ()
appends the contents of the BerValue pointed to by \fIbv\fP to the
\fIbvarray\fP array. Space for the new element is allocated as needed.
The end of the array is marked by a BerValue with a NULL bv_val field.
.LP
.BR ber_bvdup ()
returns a copy of a BerValue. The routine returns NULL upon error
(e.g. out of memory). The caller should use
.BR ber_bvfree ()
to deallocate the resulting BerValue.
.BR ber_dupbv ()
copies a BerValue from \fIsrc\fP to \fIdst\fP. If \fIdst\fP is NULL a
new BerValue will be allocated to hold the copy. The routine returns NULL
upon error, otherwise it returns a pointer to the copy. If \fIdst\fP is
NULL the caller should use
.BR ber_bvfree ()
to deallocate the resulting BerValue, otherwise
.BR ber_memfree ()
should be used to deallocate the \fIdst->bv_val\fP. (The
.BR ber_bvdup ()
function is internally implemented as ber_dupbv(NULL, bv).
.BR ber_bvdup ()
is provided only for compatibility with an expired draft of the LDAP C API;
.BR ber_dupbv ()
is the preferred interface.)
.LP
.BR ber_bvstr ()
returns a BerValue containing the string pointed to by \fIstr\fP.
.BR ber_bvstrdup ()
returns a BerValue containing a copy of the string pointed to by \fIstr\fP.
.BR ber_str2bv ()
returns a BerValue containing the string pointed to by \fIstr\fP, whose
length may be optionally specified in \fIlen\fP. If \fIdup\fP is non-zero,
the BerValue will contain a copy of \fIstr\fP. If \fIlen\fP is zero, the
number of bytes to copy will be determined by
.BR strlen (3),
otherwise \fIlen\fP bytes will be copied. If \fIbv\fP is non-NULL, the result
will be stored in the given BerValue, otherwise a new BerValue will be
allocated to store the result. NOTE: Both
.BR ber_bvstr ()
and
.BR ber_bvstrdup ()
are implemented as macros using
.BR ber_str2bv ()
in this version of the library.
.LP
.B BerElement
is an opaque structure used to maintain state information used in
encoding and decoding.
.BR ber_alloc_t ()
is used to create an empty BerElement structure. If
.B LBER_USE_DER
is specified for the
.I options
parameter then data lengths for data written to the BerElement will be
encoded in the minimal number of octets required, otherwise they will
always be written as four byte values.
.BR ber_init ()
creates a BerElement structure that is initialized with a copy of the
data in its
.I bv
parameter.
.BR ber_init2 ()
initializes an existing BerElement
.I ber
using the data in the
.I bv
parameter. The data is referenced directly, not copied. The
.I options
parameter is the same as for
.BR ber_alloc_t ().
.BR ber_free ()
frees a BerElement pointed to by \fIber\fP. If \fIber\fP is NULL, the routine
does nothing. If \fIfreebuf\fP is zero, the internal buffer is not freed.
