+# NAME
+
+asn1c -- the ASN.1 Compiler
+
+# SYNOPSIS
+
+asn1c [**-E** [**-F**] | **-P** | **-R**] \
+ [**-S***dir*] [**-X**] \
+ [**-W***debug-*...] [**-f***option*] [**-gen-***option*]
+ [**-pdu**={**all**|**auto**|*Type*}] \
+ [**-print-***option*] \
+ *input-filenames*...
+
+# DESCRIPTION
+
+asn1c compiles ASN.1 specifications into a set of
+target language (C/C++) encoders and decoders for BER, DER, PER, XER
+and other encoding rules.
+
+# OPTIONS
+
+## Stage Selection Options
+
+-E
+: Run the parsing stage only. Print the reconstructed ASN.1 text.
+
+-F
+: Used together with **-E**,
+ instructs the compiler to stop after the ASN.1 syntax
+ tree fixing stage and dump the reconstructed ASN.1 specification
+ to the standard output.
+
+-P
+: Dump the compiled output to the standard output instead of creating the
+ target language files on disk.
+
+-R
+: Restrict the compiler to generate only the ASN.1 tables,
+ omitting the usual support code.
+
+-S *directory*
+: Use the specified directory with ASN.1 skeleton files.
+
+-X
+: Generate an XML DTD schema for the specified ASN.1 files.
+
+## Warning Options
+
+-Werror
+: Treat warnings as errors; abort if any warning is produced.
+
+-Wdebug-lexer
+: Enable lexer debugging during the ASN.1 parsing stage.
+
+-Wdebug-fixer
+: Enable ASN.1 syntax tree fixer debugging during the fixing stage.
+
+-Wdebug-compiler
+: Enable debugging during the actual compile time.
+
+## Language Options
+
+-fbless-SIZE
+: Allow `SIZE()` constraint for `INTEGER`, `ENUMERATED`,
+ and other types for which this constraint is normally prohibited
+ by the standard.
+ This is a violation of ASN.1 standard, and the compiler may
+ fail to produce a meaningful code.
+
+-fcompound-names
+: Using this option prevents name collisions in the target source code
+ by using complex names for target language structures.
+ (Name collisions may occur if the ASN.1 module reuses the same identifiers
+ in multiple contexts).
+
+-findirect-choice
+: When generating code for a `CHOICE` type, compile the `CHOICE` members
+ as indirect pointers instead of declaring them inline.
+ Consider using this option together with **-fno-include-deps**
+ to prevent circular references.
+
+-fincludes-quoted
+: Refer to header files in `#include`s using **"**double**"** instead of **\<**angle**>** quotes.
+
+-fknown-extern-type=*name*
+: Pretend the specified type is known.
+ The compiler will assume the target language source files
+ for the given type have been provided manually.
+
+-fline-refs
+: Include ASN.1 module's line numbers in generated code comments.
+
+-fno-constraints
+: Do not generate ASN.1 subtype constraint checking code.
+ This may make a shorter executable.
+
+-fno-include-deps
+: Do not generate courtesy #include lines for non-critical type dependencies.
+ Helps prevent namespace collisions.
+
+-funnamed-unions
+: Enable unnamed unions in the definitions of target language's structures.
+
+-fwide-types
+: Use the unbounded size data types (`INTEGER_t`, `ENUMERATED_t`, `REAL_t`)
+ by default, instead of using the native machine's data types (long, double).
+
+## Codecs Generation Options
+
+-gen-PER
+: Generate the Packed Encoding Rules (PER) support code.
+
+-pdu={all|auto|*Type*}
+: Create a PDU table for specified types, or discover Protocol Data Units
+ automatically. In case of **-pdu=all**,
+ all ASN.1 types defined in all modules will form a PDU table.
+ In case of **-pdu=auto**, all types not referenced by any other type will
+ form a PDU table.
+ If *Type* is an ASN.1 type identifier, the identifier is added to
+ the generated PDU table.
+ The last form may be specified multiple times to add any number of PDUs.
+
+## Output Options
+
+-print-constraints
+: When **-EF** options are also specified,
+ this option forces the compiler to explain its internal understanding
+ of subtype constraints.
+
+-print-lines
+: Generate "`-- #line`" comments in **-E** output.

+# NAME
+
+unber -- the ASN.1 BER Decoder
+
+# SYNOPSIS
+
+unber [**-1**] [**-i***indent*] [**-m**] [**-p**] [**-s***skip*] [**-t***hex-string*] [**-**] [*input-filenames*...]
+
+# DESCRIPTION
+
+unber presents the internal structure of BER-encoded files as a human readable text.
+A single dash denotes the standard input.
+
+(The DER and CER formats are subsets of the BER and are also supported.)
+
+# OPTIONS
+
+-1
+: Do *not* attempt to read the next BER structure after the first one.
+ This may be useful if the input contains garbage past the single BER sequence.
+ By default, unber continues decoding until the end of file (input stream).
+
+-i *indent*
+: Use the specified number of spaces for output indentation.
+ Default is 4 spaces.
+
+-m
+: Generate shorter output while still preserving BER encoding information.
+
+-p
+: Do *not* attempt to pretty-print known ASN.1 types (`BOOLEAN`, `INTEGER`, `OBJECT IDENTIFIER`, etc).
+ By default, some ASN.1 types are converted into the text representation.
+
+ This option is required if the `unber`(1) output is used as an input to `enber`(1).
+
+-s *skip*
+: Ignore the first *skip* bytes in the input stream;
+ useful for stripping off lower level protocol framing data.
+
+-t *hex-string*
+: Interpret the hex-string as a sequence of hexadecimal values representing
+ the start of BER TLV encoding.
+ Print the human readable explanation.
+
+# XML FORMAT
+unber dumps the output in the regular XML format which preserves most of the
+information from the underlying binary encoding.
+
+The XML opening tag format is as follows:
+
+<**tform** O="**off**" T="**tag**" TL="**t_len**" V="{Indefinite|**v_len**}" [A="**type**"] [**F**]>
+
+Where:
+
+**tform**
+: Encoding form the value is in: primitive ("P") or constructed ("C") or constructed with indefinite length ("I")
+
+**off**
+: Offset of the encoded element in the unber input stream.
+
+**tag**
+: The tag class and value in human readable form.
+
+**t_len**
+: The length of the TL (BER Tag and Length) encoding.
+
+**v_len**
+: The length of the value (V, encoded by the L), may be "Indefinite".

+**type**
+: Likely name of the underlying ASN.1 type (for UNIVERSAL tags).
+
+[**F**]
+: Indicates that the value was reformatted (pretty-printed).
+This will never appear in the output produced using the **-p**
+command line option.

+## Example XML output:
+
+| \<I O="0" T="[UNIVERSAL 16]" TL="2" V="Indefinite" A="SEQUENCE">
+| \<P O="2" T="[UNIVERSAL 19]" TL="2" V="2" A="PrintableString">US\</P>
+| \<C O="6" T="[UNIVERSAL 16]" TL="2" V="6" A="SEQUENCE">
+| \<P O="8" T="[UNIVERSAL 2]" TL="2" V="4" A="INTEGER" F>832970823\</P>
+| \</C O="14" T="[UNIVERSAL 16]" A="SEQUENCE" L="8">

+
+# EXAMPLES
+
+Decode the given Tag/Length sequence specified in hexadecimal form:
+
+> unber\ **-t** "*bf 20*"
+
+Decode the DER file using two-spaces indentation:
+
+> unber\ **-i** *2*\ *filename.der*
+
+Decode the binary stream taken from the standard input:
+
+> cat *filename.der* | unber **-**
+
+Decode the binary stream and encode it back into an identical stream (see `enber`(1)):
+
+> cat *filename.der* | unber **-p** **-** | enber **-** > *filename.ber*
+
+# FOOTNOTES
+The constructed XML output is not necessarily well-formed.
+
+When indefinite length encoding is being used, the BER sequence which is not
+terminated with the end-of-content octets will cause the terminating **\</I>**
+XML tag to disappear.
+Thus, invalid BER framing directly causes invalid XML output.
+
+The `enber`(1) utility understands such XML correctly.
