NAME
       asn1_der_decoding_element - API function

SYNOPSIS
       #include <libtasn1.h>

       asn1_retCode  asn1_der_decoding_element(ASN1_TYPE  *  structure, const char * elementName, const void * ider, int len, char * errorDescrip-
       tion);

ARGUMENTS
       ASN1_TYPE * structure
		   pointer to an ASN1 structure

       const char * elementName
		   name of the element to fill

       const void * ider
		   vector that contains the DER encoding of the whole structure.

       int len	   number of bytes of *der: der[0]..der[len-1]

       char * errorDescription
		   null-terminated string contains details when an error occurred.

DESCRIPTION
       Fill the element named ELEMENTNAME with values of a DER encoding string.  The structure must just be created with function asn1_create_ele-
       ment().	 The  DER  vector  must contain the encoding string of the whole STRUCTURE.  If an error occurs during the decoding procedure, the
       *STRUCTURE is deleted and set equal to ASN1_TYPE_EMPTY.

RETURNS
       ASN1_SUCCESS if DER encoding OK, ASN1_ELEMENT_NOT_FOUND if ELEMENT is  ASN1_TYPE_EMPTY  or  elementName	==  NULL,  and	ASN1_TAG_ERROR	or
       ASN1_DER_ERROR if the der encoding doesn't match the structure structure (*ELEMENT deleted).
