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.

Net::BER.compile_syntax(:universal => universal,

Instance Method Summary collapse

Instance Method Details

#read_ber(syntax = nil) ⇒ 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.

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