164.PP
165The complete set of supported options for \fBflags\fR is listed below.
166.PP
167Various characters can be escaped. If \fB\s-1ASN1_STRFLGS_ESC_2253\s0\fR is set the characters
168determined by \s-1RFC2253\s0 are escaped. If \fB\s-1ASN1_STRFLGS_ESC_CTRL\s0\fR is set control
169characters are escaped. If \fB\s-1ASN1_STRFLGS_ESC_MSB\s0\fR is set characters with the
170\&\s-1MSB\s0 set are escaped: this option should \fBnot\fR be used if the terminal correctly
171interprets \s-1UTF8\s0 sequences.
172.PP
173Escaping takes several forms.
174.PP
175If the character being escaped is a 16 bit character then the form \*(L"\eUXXXX\*(R" is used
176using exactly four characters for the hex representation. If it is 32 bits then
177\&\*(L"\eWXXXXXXXX\*(R" is used using eight characters of its hex representation. These forms
178will only be used if \s-1UTF8\s0 conversion is not set (see below).
179.PP
180Printable characters are normally escaped using the backslash '\e' character. If
181\&\fB\s-1ASN1_STRFLGS_ESC_QUOTE\s0\fR is set then the whole string is instead surrounded by
182double quote characters: this is arguably more readable than the backslash
183notation. Other characters use the \*(L"\eXX\*(R" using exactly two characters of the hex
184representation.
185.PP
186If \fB\s-1ASN1_STRFLGS_UTF8_CONVERT\s0\fR is set then characters are converted to \s-1UTF8\s0
187format first. If the terminal supports the display of \s-1UTF8\s0 sequences then this
188option will correctly display multi byte characters.
189.PP
190If \fB\s-1ASN1_STRFLGS_IGNORE_TYPE\s0\fR is set then the string type is not interpreted at
191all: everything is assumed to be one byte per character. This is primarily for
192debugging purposes and can result in confusing output in multi character strings.
193.PP
194If \fB\s-1ASN1_STRFLGS_SHOW_TYPE\s0\fR is set then the string type itself is printed out
195before its value (for example \*(L"\s-1BMPSTRING\s0\*(R"), this actually uses \fIASN1_tag2str()\fR.
196.PP
197The content of a string instead of being interpreted can be \*(L"dumped\*(R": this just
198outputs the value of the string using the form #XXXX using hex format for each
199octet.
200.PP
201If \fB\s-1ASN1_STRFLGS_DUMP_ALL\s0\fR is set then any type is dumped.
202.PP
203Normally non character string types (such as \s-1OCTET\s0 \s-1STRING\s0) are assumed to be
204one byte per character, if \fB\s-1ASN1_STRFLGS_DUMP_UNKNOWN\s0\fR is set then they will
205be dumped instead.
206.PP
207When a type is dumped normally just the content octets are printed, if

199.PP
200Normally non character string types (such as \s-1OCTET\s0 \s-1STRING\s0) are assumed to be
201one byte per character, if \fB\s-1ASN1_STRFLGS_DUMP_UNKNOWN\s0\fR is set then they will
202be dumped instead.
203.PP
204When a type is dumped normally just the content octets are printed, if
205\&\fB\s-1ASN1_STRFLGS_DUMP_DER\s0\fR is set then the complete encoding is dumped
206instead (including tag and length octets).
207.PP
208\&\fB\s-1ASN1_STRFLGS_RFC2253\s0\fR includes all the flags required by \s-1RFC2253\s0. It is
209equivalent to:
210 \s-1ASN1_STRFLGS_ESC_2253\s0 | \s-1ASN1_STRFLGS_ESC_CTRL\s0 | \s-1ASN1_STRFLGS_ESC_MSB\s0 |
211 \s-1ASN1_STRFLGS_UTF8_CONVERT\s0 | \s-1ASN1_STRFLGS_DUMP_UNKNOWN\s0 \s-1ASN1_STRFLGS_DUMP_DER\s0
