161 .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
162 The \fBasn1parse\fR command is a diagnostic utility that can parse \s-1ASN\s0.1
163 structures. It can also be used to extract data from \s-1ASN\s0.1 formatted data.
166 .IP "\fB\-inform\fR \fBDER|PEM\fR" 4
167 .IX Item "-inform DER|PEM"
168 the input format. \fB\s-1DER\s0\fR is binary format and \fB\s-1PEM\s0\fR (the default) is base64
170 .IP "\fB\-in filename\fR" 4
171 .IX Item "-in filename"
172 the input file, default is standard input
173 .IP "\fB\-out filename\fR" 4
174 .IX Item "-out filename"
175 output file to place the \s-1DER\s0 encoded data into. If this
176 option is not present then no data will be output. This is most useful when
177 combined with the \fB\-strparse\fR option.
178 .IP "\fB\-noout\fR" 4
180 don't output the parsed version of the input file.
181 .IP "\fB\-offset number\fR" 4
182 .IX Item "-offset number"
183 starting offset to begin parsing, default is start of file.
184 .IP "\fB\-length number\fR" 4
185 .IX Item "-length number"
186 number of bytes to parse, default is until end of file.
189 indents the output according to the \*(L"depth\*(R" of the structures.
190 .IP "\fB\-oid filename\fR" 4
191 .IX Item "-oid filename"
192 a file containing additional \s-1OBJECT\s0 IDENTIFIERs (OIDs). The format of this
193 file is described in the \s-1NOTES\s0 section below.
194 .IP "\fB\-strparse offset\fR" 4
195 .IX Item "-strparse offset"
196 parse the contents octets of the \s-1ASN\s0.1 object starting at \fBoffset\fR. This
197 option can be used multiple times to \*(L"drill down\*(R" into a nested structure.
198 .IP "\fB\-genstr string\fR, \fB\-genconf file\fR" 4
199 .IX Item "-genstr string, -genconf file"
200 generate encoded data based on \fBstring\fR, \fBfile\fR or both using
201 \&\fIASN1_generate_nconf\fR\|(3) format. If \fBfile\fR only is
202 present then the string is obtained from the default section using the name
203 \&\fBasn1\fR. The encoded data is passed through the \s-1ASN1\s0 parser and printed out as
204 though it came from a file, the contents can thus be examined and written to a
205 file using the \fBout\fR option.
207 .IX Subsection "OUTPUT"
208 The output will typically contain lines like this:
211 \& 0:d=0 hl=4 l= 681 cons: SEQUENCE
217 \& 229:d=3 hl=3 l= 141 prim: BIT STRING
218 \& 373:d=2 hl=3 l= 162 cons: cont [ 3 ]
219 \& 376:d=3 hl=3 l= 159 cons: SEQUENCE
220 \& 379:d=4 hl=2 l= 29 cons: SEQUENCE
221 \& 381:d=5 hl=2 l= 3 prim: OBJECT :X509v3 Subject Key Identifier
222 \& 386:d=5 hl=2 l= 22 prim: OCTET STRING
223 \& 410:d=4 hl=2 l= 112 cons: SEQUENCE
224 \& 412:d=5 hl=2 l= 3 prim: OBJECT :X509v3 Authority Key Identifier
225 \& 417:d=5 hl=2 l= 105 prim: OCTET STRING
226 \& 524:d=4 hl=2 l= 12 cons: SEQUENCE
231 This example is part of a self signed certificate. Each line starts with the
232 offset in decimal. \fBd=XX\fR specifies the current depth. The depth is increased
233 within the scope of any \s-1SET\s0 or \s-1SEQUENCE\s0. \fBhl=XX\fR gives the header length
234 (tag and length octets) of the current type. \fBl=XX\fR gives the length of
237 The \fB\-i\fR option can be used to make the output more readable.
239 Some knowledge of the \s-1ASN\s0.1 structure is needed to interpret the output.
241 In this example the \s-1BIT\s0 \s-1STRING\s0 at offset 229 is the certificate public key.
242 The contents octets of this will contain the public key information. This can
243 be examined using the option \fB\-strparse 229\fR to yield:
246 \& 0:d=0 hl=3 l= 137 cons: SEQUENCE
247 \& 3:d=1 hl=3 l= 129 prim: INTEGER :E5D21E1F5C8D208EA7A2166C7FAF9F6BDF2059669C60876DDB70840F1A5AAFA59699FE471F379F1DD6A487E7D5409AB6A88D4A9746E24B91D8CF55DB3521015460C8EDE44EE8A4189F7A7BE77D6CD3A9AF2696F486855CF58BF0EDF2B4068058C7A947F52548DDF7E15E96B385F86422BEA9064A3EE9E1158A56E4A6F47E5897
248 \& 135:d=1 hl=2 l= 3 prim: INTEGER :010001
252 If an \s-1OID\s0 is not part of OpenSSL's internal table it will be represented in
253 numerical form (for example 1.2.3.4). The file passed to the \fB\-oid\fR option
254 allows additional OIDs to be included. Each line consists of three columns,
255 the first column is the \s-1OID\s0 in numerical format and should be followed by white
256 space. The second column is the \*(L"short name\*(R" which is a single word followed
257 by white space. The final column is the rest of the line and is the
258 \&\*(L"long name\*(R". \fBasn1parse\fR displays the long name. Example:
260 \&\f(CW\*(C`1.2.3.4 shortName A long name\*(C'\fR

305 There should be options to change the format of output lines. The output of some
306 \&\s-1ASN\s0.1 types is not well handled (if at all).
