NAME

       mkchdr - creates a C header file from a type table

SYNOPSIS

       mkchdr <tbl-file> [output-file]

DESCRIPTION

       mkchdr  will  generate  a  C header file from the given type table.  The C data structures will be written to the given output file.  If an
       output file is not given, the C header is written to stdout.

       The generated C data structure is the value representation that table driven encoder expects (and decoder returns) for the type definitions
       in  the	given type table.  The table driven encoder and decoder, etc.  routines do not use the generated header - they treat the data in a
       generic way.  The generated header file simply saves you the hassle of dealing with ASN.1 values in the same generic way.  Instead you  get
       properly named structs and field names.	You do not need to use mkchdr to use the table driven encoders etc. but it is recommended.

BUGS

       There is no means of customizing the generated data structure.

NAME

       berdecode - decode BER encoded data

SYNOPSIS

       berdecode [-s bytestostrip] [-strip bytestostrip] [-d] [-debug] [-t tablefilename] [-table tablefilename] [filename] [-]

DESCRIPTION

       This program reads a binary ASN.1 grammar file generated by snacc -T and uses it to decode ASN.1 BER encoded data from files or stdin.

       From every message the first <bytestostrip> bytes (default 2) are skipped.

       Flag -d gives additional information during decoding.

       This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does have only a README file.
