NAME

       shishi_asn1_read_inline - API function

SYNOPSIS

       #include <shishi.h>

       int  shishi_asn1_read_inline(Shishi  *  handle, Shishi_asn1 node, const
       char * field, char * data, size_t * datalen);

ARGUMENTS

       Shishi * handle
                   shishi handle as allocated by shishi_init().

       Shishi_asn1 node
                   ASN.1 variable to read field from.

       const char * field
                   name of field in node to read.

       char * data pre-allocated output buffer  that  will  hold  ASN.1  field
                   data.

       size_t * datalen
                   on  input, maximum size of output buffer, on output, actual
                   size of output buffer.

DESCRIPTION

       Extract data stored in a ASN.1 field into a fixed size buffer allocated
       by caller.

       Note  that since it is difficult to predict the length of the field, it
       is often better to use shishi_asn1_read() instead.

RETURN VALUE

       Returns SHISHI_OK if successful, SHISHI_ASN1_NO_ELEMENT if the  element
       do  not  exist,  SHISHI_ASN1_NO_VALUE  if  the  field  has no value, ot
       SHISHI_ASN1_ERROR otherwise.
