18                             const unsigned char *data, size_t data_n);

21=head1 DESCRIPTION
22
23All functions described here behave the same way, they prepend
24(remember that DER writers are used backwards) the DER encoding of
25their respective value to the already written output buffer held by
26I<pkt>.
27
28ossl_DER_w_boolean() writes the primitive BOOLEAN using the value I<b>.
29Any value that evaluates as true will render a B<true> BOOLEAN,
30otherwise a B<false> BOOLEAN.
31
32ossl_DER_w_uint32() and ossl_DER_w_bn() both write the primitive INTEGER using
33the value I<v>.
34
35=for comment Other similar functions for diverse C integers should be
36added.
37
38ossl_DER_w_null() writes the primitive NULL.
39
40ossl_DER_w_octet_string() writes the primitive OCTET STRING using the bytes
41from I<data> with a length of I<data_n>.
42
43ossl_DER_w_octet_string_uint32() writes the primitive OCTET STRING using a
4432 bit value in I<value>.
45
46=head1 RETURN VALUES
47
48All the functions return 1 on success and 0 on failure.  Failure may
49mean that the buffer held by the I<pkt> is too small, but may also
50mean that the values given to the functions are invalid, such as the provided
51I<tag> value being too large for the implementation.
