BER-TLV Parser and Encoder

This is a data processor of Basic Encoding Rules (BER) format of TLV data.

Build

This library currently have no makefile, library, or something like that. What a user need to do is just add the following files to your project and compile them:

• bertlv.h
• bertlv.c

Document

Doxygen can be used to generate documents, and please refer to them to use library in details.

Examples

Encode a TLV data

bertlv_tag_t = 0x9F37;
uint8_t value[4] = { 0x01, 0x35, 0x79 };

uint8_t raw[64];
size_t size = bertlv_encode(raw, sizeof(raw), tag, value, sizeof(value));
// Now we have raw data of tag 9F37 in `raw` with size in `size`.

Parse a TLV data

uint8_t tlv[] = { 0x9F, 0x37, 0x03, 0x01, 0x35, 0x79 };

printf("Tag: %lu\n", bertlv_get_tag(tlv));
// Get 9F37.

printf("Length: %zu\n", bertlv_get_length(tlv));
// Get 3.

printf("Value: %p\n", bertlv_get_value(tlv));
// Get a point be pointed to { 0x01, 0x35, 0x79 }.

printf("TLV total size: %zu\n", bertlv_get_total_size(tlv));
// Get 6.

Parse a set of TLV data

uint8_t group[] =
{
    0x9F, 0x37, 0x03, 0x01, 0x35, 0x79,
    0x9F, 0x21, 0x03, 0x12, 0x45, 0x53,
    0x9A, 0x03, 0x17, 0x01, 0x05
};

const uint8_t *tlv;

bertlv_iter_t iter;
bertlv_iter_init(&iter, group, sizeof(group));
while(( tlv = bertlv_iter_get_next(&iter) ))
{
    print("Get element: tag=%lu, length=%zu\n",
          bertlv_get_tag(tlv),
          bertlv_get_length(tlv));
}
