=head1 DESCRIPTION

ASN.1 data structures can be associated with an B<ASN1_AUX> object to supply
additional information about the ASN.1 structure. An B<ASN1_AUX> structure is
associated with the structure during the definition of the ASN.1 template. For
example an B<ASN1_AUX> structure will be associated by using one of the various
ASN.1 template definition macros that supply auxilliary information such as
ASN1_SEQUENCE_enc(), ASN1_SEQUENCE_ref(), ASN1_SEQUENCE_cb_const_cb(),
ASN1_SEQUENCE_const_cb(), ASN1_SEQUENCE_cb() or ASN1_NDEF_SEQUENCE_cb().

An B<ASN1_AUX> structure contains the following information.

=over 4

=item I<app_data>

Arbitrary application data

=item I<flags>

Flags which indicate the auxiliarly functionality supported.

The B<ASN1_AFLG_REFCOUNT> flag indicates that objects support reference counting.

The B<ASN1_AFLG_ENCODING> flag indicates that the original encoding of the
object will be saved.

The B<ASN1_AFLG_BROKEN> flag is a work around for broken encoders where the
sequence length value may not be correct. This should generally not be used.

The B<ASN1_AFLG_CONST_CB> flag indicates that the "const" form of the
B<ASN1_AUX> callback should be used in preference to the non-const form.

=item I<ref_offset>

If the B<ASN1_AFLG_REFCOUNT> flag is set then this value is assumed to be an
offset into the B<ASN1_VALUE> structure where a B<CRYPTO_REF_COUNT> may be
found for the purposes of reference counting.

=item I<ref_lock>

If the B<ASN1_AFLG_REFCOUNT> flag is set then this value is assumed to be an
offset into the B<ASN1_VALUE> structure where a B<CRYPTO_RWLOCK> may be
found for the purposes of reference counting.

=item I<asn1_cb>

A callback that will be invoked at various points during the processing of
the the B<ASN1_VALLUE>. See below for further details.

=item I<enc_offset>

Offset into the B<ASN1_VALUE> object where the original encoding of the object
will be saved if the B<ASN1_AFLG_ENCODING> flag has been set.

=item I<asn1_const_cb>

A callback that will be invoked at various points during the processing of
the the B<ASN1_VALLUE>. This is used in preference to the I<asn1_cb> callback if
the B<ASN1_AFLG_CONST_CB> flag is set. See below for further details.

=back

During the processing of an B<ASN1_VALUE> object the callbacks set via
I<asn1_cb> or I<asn1_const_cb> will be invoked as a result of various events
indicated via the I<operation> parameter. The value of I<*in> will be the
B<ASN1_VALUE> object being processed based on the template in I<it>. An
additional operation specific parameter may be passed in I<exarg>. The currently
supported operations are as follows. The callbacks should return a positive
value on success or zero on error, unless otherwise noted below.

=over 4

=item B<ASN1_OP_NEW_PRE>

Invoked when processing a B<CHOICE>, B<SEQUENCE> or B<NDEF_SEQUENCE> structure
prior to an B<ASN1_VALUE> object being allocated. The callback may allocate the
B<ASN1_VALUE> itself and store it in I<*pval>. If it does so it should return 2
from the callback. On error it should return 0.

=item B<ASN1_OP_NEW_POST>

Invoked when processing a B<CHOICE>, B<SEQUENCE> or B<NDEF_SEQUENCE> structure
after an B<ASN1_VALUE> object has been allocated. The allocated object is in
I<*pval>.

=item B<ASN1_OP_FREE_PRE>

Invoked when processing a B<CHOICE>, B<SEQUENCE> or B<NDEF_SEQUENCE> structure
immediately before an B<ASN1_VALUE> is freed. If the callback originally
constructed the B<ASN1_VALUE> via B<ASN1_OP_NEW_PRE> then it should free it at
this point and return 2 from the callback. Otherwise it should return 1 for
success or 0 on error.

=item B<ASN1_OP_FREE_POST>

Invoked when processing a B<CHOICE>, B<SEQUENCE> or B<NDEF_SEQUENCE> structure
immediately after B<ASN1_VALUE> sub-structures are freed.

=item B<ASN1_OP_D2I_PRE>

Invoked when processing a B<CHOICE>, B<SEQUENCE> or B<NDEF_SEQUENCE> structure
immediately before a "d2i" operation for the B<ASN1_VALUE>.

=item B<ASN1_OP_D2I_POST>

Invoked when processing a B<CHOICE>, B<SEQUENCE> or B<NDEF_SEQUENCE> structure
immediately after a "d2i" operation for the B<ASN1_VALUE>.

=item B<ASN1_OP_I2D_PRE>

Invoked when processing a B<CHOICE>, B<SEQUENCE> or B<NDEF_SEQUENCE> structure
immediately before a "i2d" operation for the B<ASN1_VALUE>.

=item B<ASN1_OP_I2D_POST>

Invoked when processing a B<CHOICE>, B<SEQUENCE> or B<NDEF_SEQUENCE> structure
immediately after a "i2d" operation for the B<ASN1_VALUE>.

=item B<ASN1_OP_PRINT_PRE>

Invoked when processing a B<SEQUENCE> or B<NDEF_SEQUENCE> structure immediately
before printing the B<ASN1_VALUE>. The I<exarg> argument will be a pointer to an
B<ASN1_PRINT_ARG> structure (see below).

=item B<ASN1_OP_PRINT_POST>

Invoked when processing a B<SEQUENCE> or B<NDEF_SEQUENCE> structure immediately
after printing the B<ASN1_VALUE>. The I<exarg> argument will be a pointer to an
B<ASN1_PRINT_ARG> structure (see below).

=item B<ASN1_OP_STREAM_PRE>

Invoked immediately prior to streaming the B<ASN1_VALUE> data using indefinite
length encoding. The I<exarg> argument will be a pointer to a B<ASN1_STREAM_ARG>
structure (see below).

=item B<ASN1_OP_STREAM_POST>

Invoked immediately after streaming the B<ASN1_VALUE> data using indefinite
length encoding. The I<exarg> argument will be a pointer to a B<ASN1_STREAM_ARG>
structure (see below).

=item B<ASN1_OP_DETACHED_PRE>

Invoked immediately prior to processing the B<ASN1_VALUE> data as a "detached"
value (as used in CMS and PKCS7). The I<exarg> argument will be a pointer to a
B<ASN1_STREAM_ARG> structure (see below).

=item B<ASN1_OP_DETACHED_POST>

Invoked immediately after processing the B<ASN1_VALUE> data as a "detached"
value (as used in CMS and PKCS7). The I<exarg> argument will be a pointer to a
B<ASN1_STREAM_ARG> structure (see below).

=item B<ASN1_OP_DUP_PRE>

Invoked immediate prior to an ASN1_VALUE being duplicated via a call to
ASN1_item_dup().

=item B<ASN1_OP_DUP_POST>

Invoked immediate after to an ASN1_VALUE has been duplicated via a call to
ASN1_item_dup().

=item B<ASN1_OP_GET0_LIBCTX>

Invoked in order to obtain the B<OSSL_LIB_CTX> associated with an B<ASN1_VALUE>
if any. A pointer to an B<OSSL_LIB_CTX> should be stored in I<*exarg> if such
a value exists.

=item B<ASN1_OP_GET0_PROPQ>

Invoked in order to obtain the property query string associated with an
B<ASN1_VALUE> if any. A pointer to the property query string should be stored in
I<*exarg> if such a value exists.

=back

An B<ASN1_PRINT_ARG> object is used during processing of B<ASN1_OP_PRINT_PRE>
and B<ASN1_OP_PRINT_POST> callback operations. It contains the following
information.

=over 4

=item I<out>

The B<BIO> being used to print the data out.

=item I<ndef_bio>

The current number of indent spaces that should be used for printing this data.

=item I<pctx>

The context for the B<ASN1_PCTX> operation.

=back

An B<ASN1_STREAM_ARG> object is used during processing of B<ASN1_OP_STREAM_PRE>,
B<ASN1_OP_STREAM_POST>, B<ASN1_OP_DETACHED_PRE> and B<ASN1_OP_DETACHED_POST>
callback operations. It contains the following information.

=over 4

=item I<boundary>

The streaming I/O boundary.

=back

=head1 RETURN VALUES

The callbacks return 0 on error and a positive value on success. Some operations
require specific positive success values as noted above.
