ber_skip_tag function (winber.h)

Article
02/22/2024

The ber_skip_tag function skips the current tag and returns the tag of the next element in the supplied BerElement structure.

Syntax

WINBERAPI ULONG BERAPI ber_skip_tag(
  [in]  BerElement *pBerElement,
  [out] ULONG      *pLen
);

Parameters

[in] pBerElement

Pointer to the source BerElement structure.

[out] pLen

Returns the length of the skipped element.

Return value

Returns the tag of the next element in the BerElement structure. LBER_DEFAULT is returned if there is no further data to read.

Remarks

This function is similar to ber_peek_tag, except that the state pointer, in the BerElement argument, is advanced past the first tag and length, and is pointed to the value part of the next element. This routine should only be used with constructed types and situations when a BER encoding is used as the value of an OCTET STRING.
