Module: Net::BER::BERParser

Included in:
IO, OpenSSL::SSL::SSLSocket, String, StringIO
Defined in:
lib/net/ber/ber_parser.rb

Overview

Implements Basic Encoding Rules parsing to be mixed into types as needed.

BuiltinSyntax =

The universal, built-in ASN.1 BER syntax.

Instance Method Details

#read_ber(syntax = nil) {|id, content_length| ... } ⇒ Object

Reads a BER object from the including object. Requires that #getbyte is implemented on the including object and that it returns a Fixnum value. Also requires #read(bytes) to work.

Yields the object type ‘id` and the data `content_length` if a block is given. This is namely to support instrumentation.

This does not work with non-blocking I/O.

Yields:

  • (id, content_length)

  # from streams that don't block when we ask for more data (like
  # StringIOs). At it is, this can throw TypeErrors and other nasties.
