pval

PVAL(1) 						      General Commands Manual							   PVAL(1)

NAME

       pval - print BER values in ASN.1 value notation

SYNOPSIS

       pval -T <tt file name> [-m <module name>] -n <type name>
		    <BER value file list>

DESCRIPTION

       pval prints the given BER values in their value notation.  You must specify the type name and optionally the module name of the type in the
       given BER files.

OPTIONS

       -T file
	      Use the type table in the file to look for the named types definition.

       -m modulename
	      Specifies the module in which the named type is defined.	If the module name is not specified with this option, pval looks  for  the
	      first occurence of the named type in the modules in the given type table.

       -n typename
	      Specifies the type of the values in the given BER files.	If you give the wrong type name, decoding errors will occur.
