class OpenSSL::ASN1::Constructive

The parent class for all constructed encodings. The value attribute of a Constructive is always an Array. Attributes are the same as for ASN1Data, with the addition of tagging.

SET and SEQUENCE ↑

Most constructed encodings come in the form of a SET or a SEQUENCE. These encodings are represented by one of the two sub-classes of Constructive:

Please note that tagged sequences and sets are still parsed as instances of ASN1Data. Find further details on tagged values there.

Example - constructing a SEQUENCE ↑

int = OpenSSL::ASN1::Integer.new(1)
str = OpenSSL::ASN1::PrintableString.new('abc')
sequence = OpenSSL::ASN1::Sequence.new( [ int, str ] )

Example - constructing a SET ↑

int = OpenSSL::ASN1::Integer.new(1)
str = OpenSSL::ASN1::PrintableString.new('abc')
set = OpenSSL::ASN1::Set.new( [ int, str ] )

Public Instance Methods

each { |asn1| block } → asn1_ary click to toggle source

Calls the given block once for each element in self, passing that element as parameter asn1. If no block is given, an enumerator is returned instead.

Example ↑

asn1_ary.each do |asn1|
  puts asn1
end

# File lib/openssl/asn1.rb, line 148
def each(&blk)
  @value.each(&blk)

  self
end
