public interface Asn1BitStringParser : IAsn1Convertible

Inherited Members

IAsn1Convertible.ToAsn1Object()

Properties

PadBits

Return the number of pad bits, if any, in the final byte, if any, read from GetBitStream().

int PadBits { get; }

Property Value

int

The number of pad bits. In the range zero to seven.

Remarks

This number is in the range zero to seven. That number of the least significant bits of the final byte, if any, are not part of the contents and should be ignored. NOTE: Must be called AFTER the stream has been fully processed. (Does not need to be called if GetOctetStream() was used instead of GetBitStream().

Methods

GetBitStream()

Return a Stream representing the contents of the BIT STRING. The final byte, if any, may include pad bits. See PadBits.

Stream GetBitStream()

Returns

Stream

A Stream with its source as the BIT STRING content.

Exceptions

IOException

GetOctetStream()

Return a Stream representing the contents of the BIT STRING, where the content is expected to be octet-aligned (this will be automatically checked during parsing).

Stream GetOctetStream()

Returns

Stream

A Stream with its source as the BIT STRING content.

Exceptions

IOException
