=head1 NAME

ossl_DER_w_precompiled
- internal DER writers for precompiled DER blobs

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 #include "internal/der.h"

 int ossl_DER_w_precompiled(WPACKET *pkt, int tag,
                            const unsigned char *precompiled,
                            size_t precompiled_n);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

There may be already existing DER blobs that can simply be copied to
the buffer held by I<pkt>.  For example, precompiled values, such as
OIDs (for example, C<id-sha256>) or complete AlgorithmIdentifiers
(for example, C<sha256Identifier>).  To add those as an element in a
structure being DER encoded, use ossl_DER_w_precompiled().

ossl_DER_w_precompiled() will simply take the DER encoded blob given as
I<precompiled> with length I<precompiled_n> and add it to the buffer
held by I<pkt>.

=head1 RETURN VALUES

ossl_DER_w_precompiled() returns 1 on success and 0 on failure.  Failure
may mean that the buffer held by the I<pkt> is too small, but may also
mean that the values given to the functions are invalid, such as the provided
I<tag> value being too large for the implementation.
