<refsect1 id="libtasn1-3-desc"><title>&desc-tt;</title>
<para><literal>&cmd;</literal> is a library for Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1) and Distinguish Encoding Rules (DER) manipulation.
</para>
<para>The main features of this library are:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
On-line ASN.1 structure management that does not require any C code file
generation.
</listitem>
<listitem>
Off line ASN.1 structure management with C code file generation containing an
array
</listitem>
<listitem>
DER (Distinguish Encoding Rules) encoding
</listitem>
<listitem>
No limits for INTEGER and ENUMERATED values
</listitem>
<listitem>
It is thread-safe. No global variables are used and multiple library handles
and session handles may be used in parallel
</listitem>
<listitem>
It is portable. It should work on all UNIX-like operating systems, including
Windows. The library itself should be portable to any C89 system, not even
POSIX is required
