@deftypefun {int} {asn1_decode_simple_der} (unsigned int @var{etype}, const unsigned char * @var{der}, unsigned int @var{der_len}, const unsigned char ** @var{str}, unsigned int * @var{str_len})
@var{etype}: The type of the string to be encoded (ASN1_ETYPE_)

@var{der}: the encoded string

@var{der_len}: the bytes of the encoded string

@var{str}: a pointer to the data

@var{str_len}: the length of the data

Decodes a simple DER encoded type (e.g. a string, which is not constructed).
The output is a pointer inside the  @code{der} .

@strong{Returns:} @code{ASN1_SUCCESS}  if successful or an error value.
