NAME
       asn1_der_decoding_element - Fill the element named ELEMENTNAME of the structure STRUCTURE with values of a DER encoding string.

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 sructure must just be created with  function  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
       DER encoding OK.

ASN1_ELEMENT_NOT_FOUND
       ELEMENT is ASN1_TYPE_EMPTY or elementName == NULL.

       ASN1_TAG_ERROR,ASN1_DER_ERROR: The der encoding doesn't match the structure STRUCTURE. *ELEMENT deleted.
