# berdecode(1)

decode BER encoded data

## NAME

berdecode - decode BER encoded data

## SYNOPSIS

**berdecode** \[**-s** *bytestostrip*\] \[**-strip** *bytestostrip*\] \[**-d**\] \[**-debug**\] \[**-t** *tablefilename*\] \[**-table** *tablefilename*\] \[**filename**\] \[**-**\]

## DESCRIPTION

This program reads a binary ASN.1 grammar file generated by **snacc** **-T** and uses it to decode ASN.1 BER encoded data from files or stdin.

From every message the first \<bytestostrip\> bytes (default 2) are skipped.

Flag **-d** gives additional information during decoding.

This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does have only a README file.
