 #define IMPLEMENT_EXTERN_ASN1(sname, tag, fptrs)

=head1 DESCRIPTION

ASN.1 data structures templates are typically defined in OpenSSL using a series
of macros such as ASN1_SEQUENCE(), ASN1_SEQUENCE_END() and so on. Instead
templates can also be defined based entirely on external functions. These
external functions are called to perform operations such as creating a new
B<ASN1_VALUE> or converting an B<ASN1_VALUE> to or from DER encoding.

The macro IMPLEMENT_EXTERN_ASN1() can be used to create such an externally
defined structure. The name of the structure should be supplied in the I<sname>
parameter. The tag for the structure (e.g. typically B<V_ASN1_SEQUENCE>) should
be supplied in the I<tag> parameter. Finally a pointer to an
B<ASN1_EXTERN_FUNCS> structure should be supplied in the I<fptrs> parameter.

The B<ASN1_EXTERN_FUNCS> structure has the following entries.

=over 4

=item I<app_data>

A pointer to arbitrary application specific data.

=item I<asn1_ex_new>

A "new" function responsible for constructing a new B<ASN1_VALUE> object. The
newly constructed value should be stored in I<*pval>. The I<it> parameter is a
pointer to the B<ASN1_ITEM> template object created via the
IMPLEMENT_EXTERN_ASN1() macro.

Returns a positive value on success or 0 on error.

=item I<asn1_ex_free>

A "free" function responsible for freeing the B<ASN1_VALUE> passed in I<*pval>
that was previously allocated via a "new" function. The I<it> parameter is a
pointer to the B<ASN1_ITEM> template object created via the
IMPLEMENT_EXTERN_ASN1() macro.

=item I<asn1_ex_clear>

A "clear" function responsible for clearing any data in the B<ASN1_VALUE> passed
in I<*pval> and making it suitable for reuse. The I<it> parameter is a pointer
to the B<ASN1_ITEM> template object created via the IMPLEMENT_EXTERN_ASN1()
macro.

=item I<asn1_ex_d2i>

A "d2i" function responsible for converting DER data with the tag I<tag> and
class I<class> into an B<ASN1_VALUE>. If I<*pval> is non-NULL then the
B<ASN_VALUE> it points to should be reused. Otherwise a new B<ASN1_VALUE>
should be allocated and stored in I<*pval>. I<*in> points to the DER data to be
decoded and I<len> is the length of that data. After decoding I<*in> should be
updated to point at the next byte after the decoded data. If the B<ASN1_VALUE>
is considered optional in this context then I<opt> will be nonzero. Otherwise
it will be zero. The I<it> parameter is a pointer to the B<ASN1_ITEM> template
object created via the IMPLEMENT_EXTERN_ASN1() macro. A pointer to the current
B<ASN1_TLC> context (which may be required for other ASN1 function calls) is
passed in the I<ctx> parameter.

The I<asn1_ex_d2i> entry may be NULL if I<asn1_ex_d2i_ex> has been specified
instead.

Returns <= 0 on error or a positive value on success.

=item I<asn1_ex_i2d>

An "i2d" function responsible for converting an B<ASN1_VALUE> into DER encoding.
On entry I<*pval> will contain the B<ASN1_VALUE> to be encoded. If default
tagging is to be used then I<tag> will be -1 on entry. Otherwise if implicit
tagging should be used then I<tag> and I<aclass> will be the tag and associated
class.

If I<out> is not NULL then this function should write the DER encoded data to
the buffer in I<*out>, and then increment I<*out> to point to immediately after
the data just written.

If I<out> is NULL then no data should be written but the length calculated and
returned as if it were.

The I<asn1_ex_i2d> entry may be NULL if I<asn1_ex_i2d_ex> has been specified
instead.

The return value should be negative if a fatal error occurred, or 0 if a
non-fatal error occurred. Otherwise it should return the length of the encoded
data.

=item I<asn1_ex_print>

A "print" function. I<out> is the BIO to print the output to. I<*pval> is the
B<ASN1_VALUE> to be printed. I<indent> is the number of spaces of indenting to
be printed before any data is printed. I<fname> is currently unused and is
always "". I<pctx> is a pointer to the B<ASN1_PCTX> for the print operation.

Returns 0 on error or a positive value on success. If the return value is 2 then
an additional newline will be printed after the data printed by this function.

=item I<asn1_ex_new_ex>

This is the same as I<asn1_ex_new> except that it is additionally passed the
OSSL_LIB_CTX to be used in I<libctx> and any property query string to be used
for algorithm fetching in the I<propq> parameter. See
L<crypto(7)/ALGORITHM FETCHING> for further details. If I<asn1_ex_new_ex> is
non NULL, then it will always be called in preference to I<asn1_ex_new>.

=item I<asn1_ex_d2i_ex>

This is the same as I<asn1_ex_d2i> except that it is additionally passed the
OSSL_LIB_CTX to be used in I<libctx> and any property query string to be used
for algorithm fetching in the I<propq> parameter. See
L<crypto(7)/ALGORITHM FETCHING> for further details. If I<asn1_ex_d2i_ex> is
non NULL, then it will always be called in preference to I<asn1_ex_d2i>.
