Basic Data Types

The FTAM interface uses the following data types. These basic types are unambiguous typedef synonyms for well-known intrinsic C data types.

struct Object_id
{
    Uint16      length;
    Sint32      *element;  /* List of integers */
};

The Object_id is a widely used map.h structure containing the following fields.

length	Number of integers in the *element array.
*element	Pointer to an array of integers.

struct Octet_string
{
    Uint32          length;
    Octet_pointer   pointer;  /* List of Octets */
};

The Octet_string is a widely used map.h structure containing the following fields.

length	Number of Octets in the pointer array.
pointer	Pointer to a array of Octets.
