asn1rt ASN.1 runtime support functions

All functions in this module are deprecated and will be removed in a future release.

decode(Module,Type,Bytes) -> {ok,Value}|{error,Reason} Decode from bytes into an ASN.1 value. Module = Type = atom() Value = Reason = term() Bytes = binary

Decodes Type from Module from the binary Bytes. Returns {ok,Value} if successful.

Use Module:decode(Type, Bytes) instead of this function.

 encode(Module,Type,Value)-> {ok,Bytes} | {error,Reason} Encode an ASN.1 value. Module = Type = atom() Value = term() Bytes = binary Reason = term()

Encodes Value of Type defined in the ASN.1 module Module. Returns a binary if successful. To get as fast execution as possible the encode function only performs rudimentary tests that the input Value is a correct instance of Type. The length of strings is, for example, not always checked.

Use Module:encode(Type, Value) instead of this function.

 info(Module) -> {ok,Info} | {error,Reason} Returns compiler information about the Module. Module = atom() Info = list() Reason = term()

info/1 returns the version of the asn1 compiler that was used to compile the module. It also returns the compiler options that was used.

Use Module:info() instead of this function.

 utf8_binary_to_list(UTF8Binary) -> {ok,UnicodeList} | {error,Reason} Transforms an utf8 encoded binary to a unicode list. UTF8Binary = binary() UnicodeList = [integer()] Reason = term()

utf8_binary_to_list/1 Transforms a UTF8 encoded binary to a list of integers, where each integer represents one character as its unicode value. The function fails if the binary is not a properly encoded UTF8 string.

Use unicode:characters_to_list/1 instead of this function.

 utf8_list_to_binary(UnicodeList) -> {ok,UTF8Binary} | {error,Reason} Transforms an unicode list ot an utf8 binary. UnicodeList = [integer()] UTF8Binary = binary() Reason = term()

utf8_list_to_binary/1 Transforms a list of integers, where each integer represents one character as its unicode value, to a UTF8 encoded binary.

Use unicode:characters_to_binary/1 instead of this function.
