NAME
       asn1_expand_octet_string - Expand "OCTET STRING" fields in structure.

SYNOPSIS
       #include <libtasn1.h>

       asn1_retCode  asn1_expand_octet_string(ASN1_TYPE definitions, ASN1_TYPE
       * element, const char * octetName, const char * objectName);

ARGUMENTS
       ASN1_TYPE definitions
                   ASN1 definitions

       ASN1_TYPE * element
                   pointer to an ASN1 structure

       const char * octetName
                   name of the OCTECT STRING field to expand.

       const char * objectName
                   name of the OBJECT IDENTIFIER field to use  to  define  the
                   type for expansion.

DESCRIPTION
       Expands  an  "OCTET  STRING"  element of a structure created from a DER
       decoding process (asn1_der_decoding function). The type used for expan-
       sion  is  the first one following the definition of the actual value of
       the OBJECT IDENTIFIER indicated by OBJECTNAME.

RETURNS
ASN1_SUCCESS
       Substitution OK.

ASN1_ELEMENT_NOT_FOUND
       OBJECTNAME or OCTETNAME are not correct.

ASN1_VALUE_NOT_VALID
       Wasn't possible to find the type to use for expansion.

       other errors: result of der decoding process.
