Reads the next value as a BIT STRING with a specified tag, copying the value into a provided destination buffer.
public bool TryReadBitString (Span<byte> destination, out int unusedBitCount, out int bytesWritten, System.Formats.Asn1.Asn1Tag? expectedTag = default);
member this.TryReadBitString : Span<byte> * int * int * Nullable<System.Formats.Asn1.Asn1Tag> -> bool
Public Function TryReadBitString (destination As Span(Of Byte), ByRef unusedBitCount As Integer, ByRef bytesWritten As Integer, Optional expectedTag As Nullable(Of Asn1Tag) = Nothing) As Boolean
Parameters
- unusedBitCount
- Int32
On success, receives the number of bits in the last byte which were reported as "unused" by the writer.
- bytesWritten
- Int32
On success, receives the number of bytes written to destination
.
The tag to check for before reading, or null
for the default tag (Universal 1).
Returns
true
and advances the reader if destination
had sufficient
length to receive the value, otherwise
false
and the reader does not advance.
