# pval(1)

print BER values in ASN.1 value notation

## NAME

pval - print BER values in ASN.1 value notation

## SYNOPSIS

```
pval -T <tt file name> [-m <module name>] -n <type name>
             <BER value file list>
```

## DESCRIPTION

pval prints the given BER values in their value notation.  You must specify the type name and optionally the module name of the type in the given BER files.

## OPTIONS

- **-T** *file*

  Use the type table in the file to look for the named types definition.

- **-m** *modulename*

  Specifies the module in which the named type is defined.  If the module name is not specified with this option, pval looks for the first occurence of the named type in the modules in the given type table.

- **-n** *typename*

  Specifies the type of the values in the given BER files.  If you give the wrong type name, decoding errors will occur.
