.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
The \fBasn1parse\fR command is a diagnostic utility that can parse \s-1ASN\s0.1
structures. It can also be used to extract data from \s-1ASN\s0.1 formatted data.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.IX Header "OPTIONS"
.Ip "\fB\-inform\fR \fBDER|PEM\fR" 4
.IX Item "-inform DER|PEM"
the input format. \fB\s-1DER\s0\fR is binary format and \fB\s-1PEM\s0\fR (the default) is base64
encoded.
.Ip "\fB\-in filename\fR" 4
.IX Item "-in filename"
the input file, default is standard input
.Ip "\fB\-out filename\fR" 4
.IX Item "-out filename"
output file to place the \s-1DER\s0 encoded data into. If this
option is not present then no data will be output. This is most useful when
combined with the \fB\-strparse\fR option.
.Ip "\fB\-noout\fR" 4
.IX Item "-noout"
don't output the parsed version of the input file.
.Ip "\fB\-offset number\fR" 4
.IX Item "-offset number"
starting offset to begin parsing, default is start of file.
.Ip "\fB\-length number\fR" 4
.IX Item "-length number"
number of bytes to parse, default is until end of file.
.Ip "\fB\-i\fR" 4
.IX Item "-i"
indents the output according to the \*(L"depth\*(R" of the structures.
.Ip "\fB\-oid filename\fR" 4
.IX Item "-oid filename"
a file containing additional \s-1OBJECT\s0 IDENTIFIERs (OIDs). The format of this
file is described in the \s-1NOTES\s0 section below.
.Ip "\fB\-strparse offset\fR" 4
.IX Item "-strparse offset"
parse the contents octets of the \s-1ASN\s0.1 object starting at \fBoffset\fR. This
option can be used multiple times to \*(L"drill down\*(R" into a nested structure.
.Sh "\s-1OUTPUT\s0"
.IX Subsection "OUTPUT"
The output will typically contain lines like this:
.PP
.Vb 1
\& 0:d=0 hl=4 l= 681 cons: SEQUENCE
.Ve
\&.....
.PP
.Vb 10
\& 229:d=3 hl=3 l= 141 prim: BIT STRING
\& 373:d=2 hl=3 l= 162 cons: cont [ 3 ]
\& 376:d=3 hl=3 l= 159 cons: SEQUENCE
\& 379:d=4 hl=2 l= 29 cons: SEQUENCE
\& 381:d=5 hl=2 l= 3 prim: OBJECT :X509v3 Subject Key Identifier
\& 386:d=5 hl=2 l= 22 prim: OCTET STRING
\& 410:d=4 hl=2 l= 112 cons: SEQUENCE
\& 412:d=5 hl=2 l= 3 prim: OBJECT :X509v3 Authority Key Identifier
\& 417:d=5 hl=2 l= 105 prim: OCTET STRING
\& 524:d=4 hl=2 l= 12 cons: SEQUENCE
.Ve
\&.....
.PP
This example is part of a self signed certificate. Each line starts with the
offset in decimal. \fBd=XX\fR specifies the current depth. The depth is increased
within the scope of any \s-1SET\s0 or \s-1SEQUENCE\s0. \fBhl=XX\fR gives the header length
(tag and length octets) of the current type. \fBl=XX\fR gives the length of
the contents octets.
.PP
The \fB\-i\fR option can be used to make the output more readable.
.PP
Some knowledge of the \s-1ASN\s0.1 structure is needed to interpret the output.
.PP
In this example the \s-1BIT\s0 \s-1STRING\s0 at offset 229 is the certificate public key.
The contents octets of this will contain the public key information. This can
be examined using the option \fB\-strparse 229\fR to yield:
.PP
.Vb 3
\& 0:d=0 hl=3 l= 137 cons: SEQUENCE
\& 3:d=1 hl=3 l= 129 prim: INTEGER :E5D21E1F5C8D208EA7A2166C7FAF9F6BDF2059669C60876DDB70840F1A5AAFA59699FE471F379F1DD6A487E7D5409AB6A88D4A9746E24B91D8CF55DB3521015460C8EDE44EE8A4189F7A7BE77D6CD3A9AF2696F486855CF58BF0EDF2B4068058C7A947F52548DDF7E15E96B385F86422BEA9064A3EE9E1158A56E4A6F47E5897
\& 135:d=1 hl=2 l= 3 prim: INTEGER :010001
.Ve
.SH "NOTES"
.IX Header "NOTES"
If an \s-1OID\s0 is not part of OpenSSL's internal table it will be represented in
numerical form (for example 1.2.3.4). The file passed to the \fB\-oid\fR option
allows additional OIDs to be included. Each line consists of three columns,
the first column is the \s-1OID\s0 in numerical format and should be followed by white
space. The second column is the \*(L"short name\*(R" which is a single word followed
by white space. The final column is the rest of the line and is the
\&\*(L"long name\*(R". \fBasn1parse\fR displays the long name. Example:
.PP
\&\f(CW\*(C`1.2.3.4 shortName A long name\*(C'\fR
.SH "BUGS"
.IX Header "BUGS"
There should be options to change the format of input lines. The output of some
\&\s-1ASN\s0.1 types is not well handled (if at all).
