# OpenSSL::ASN1::Primitive

The parent class for all primitive encodings. Attributes are the same as for `ASN1Data`, with the addition of tagging. `Primitive` values can never be encoded with indefinite length form, thus it is not possible to set the indefinite_length attribute for `Primitive` and its sub-classes.

## `Primitive` sub-classes and their mapping to Ruby classes¶ ↑

- OpenSSL::ASN1::EndOfContent <=> value is always `nil`

- OpenSSL::ASN1::Boolean <=> value is `true` or `false`

- OpenSSL::ASN1::Integer <=> value is an `OpenSSL::BN`

- OpenSSL::ASN1::BitString <=> value is a String

- OpenSSL::ASN1::OctetString <=> value is a String

- OpenSSL::ASN1::Null <=> value is always `nil`

- OpenSSL::ASN1::Object <=> value is a String

- OpenSSL::ASN1::Enumerated <=> value is an `OpenSSL::BN`

- OpenSSL::ASN1::UTF8String <=> value is a String

- OpenSSL::ASN1::NumericString <=> value is a String

- OpenSSL::ASN1::PrintableString <=> value is a String

- OpenSSL::ASN1::T61String <=> value is a String

- OpenSSL::ASN1::VideotexString <=> value is a String

- OpenSSL::ASN1::IA5String <=> value is a String

- OpenSSL::ASN1::UTCTime <=> value is a Time

- OpenSSL::ASN1::GeneralizedTime <=> value is a Time

- OpenSSL::ASN1::GraphicString <=> value is a String

- OpenSSL::ASN1::ISO64String <=> value is a String

- OpenSSL::ASN1::GeneralString <=> value is a String

- OpenSSL::ASN1::UniversalString <=> value is a String

- OpenSSL::ASN1::BMPString <=> value is a String

## OpenSSL::ASN1::BitString¶ ↑

### Additional attributes¶ ↑

unused_bits: if the underlying BIT STRING's length is a multiple of 8 then unused_bits is 0. Otherwise unused_bits indicates the number of bits that are to be ignored in the final octet of the BitString's value.

## `OpenSSL::ASN1::ObjectId`¶ ↑

NOTE: While `OpenSSL::ASN1::ObjectId.new` will allocate a new `ObjectId`, it is not typically allocated this way, but rather that are received from parsed `ASN1` encodings.

### Additional attributes¶ ↑

- sn: the short name as defined in <openssl/objects.h>.

- ln: the long name as defined in <openssl/objects.h>.

- oid: the object identifier as a String, e.g. “1.2.3.4.5”

- short_name: alias for sn.

- long_name: alias for ln.

## Examples¶ ↑

With the Exception of OpenSSL::ASN1::EndOfContent, each `Primitive` class constructor takes at least one parameter, the value.

### Creating EndOfContent¶ ↑

    eoc = OpenSSL::ASN1::EndOfContent.new

### Creating any other `Primitive`¶ ↑

    prim = <class>.new(value) # <class> being one of the sub-classes except EndOfContent
    prim_zero_tagged_implicit = <class>.new(value, 0, :IMPLICIT)
    prim_zero_tagged_explicit = <class>.new(value, 0, :EXPLICIT)

### Attributes

tagging[RW]

May be used as a hint for encoding a value either implicitly or explicitly by setting it either to `:IMPLICIT` or to `:EXPLICIT`. tagging is not set when a ASN.1 structure is parsed using `OpenSSL::ASN1.decode`.

### Public Class Methods

OpenSSL::ASN1::Primitive.new(value [, tag, tagging, tag_class ]) => Primitive click to toggle source

value: is mandatory.

tag: optional, may be specified for tagged values. If no tag is specified, the UNIVERSAL tag corresponding to the `Primitive` sub-class is used by default.

tagging: may be used as an encoding hint to encode a value either explicitly or implicitly, see `ASN1` for possible values.

tag_class: if tag and tagging are `nil` then this is set to `:UNIVERSAL` by default. If either tag or tagging are set then `:CONTEXT_SPECIFIC` is used as the default. For possible values please cf. `ASN1`.

## Example¶ ↑

    int = OpenSSL::ASN1::Integer.new(42)
    zero_tagged_int = OpenSSL::ASN1::Integer.new(42, 0, :IMPLICIT)
    private_explicit_zero_tagged_int = OpenSSL::ASN1::Integer.new(42, 0, :EXPLICIT, :PRIVATE)

        rb_scan_args(argc, argv, "13", &value, &tag, &tagging, &tag_class);
        default_tag = ossl_asn1_default_tag(self);
