## org.bouncycastle.asn1
Class BEROctetString

    java.lang.Object
      org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1Object
          org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1Primitive
              org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1OctetString
                  org.bouncycastle.asn1.BEROctetString

All Implemented Interfaces:
  ASN1Encodable, ASN1OctetStringParser, Encodable, InMemoryRepresentable

public class BEROctetString
extends ASN1OctetString

ASN.1 OctetStrings, with indefinite length rules, and constructed form support.

The Basic Encoding Rules (BER) format allows encoding using so called "constructed form", which DER and CER formats forbid allowing only "primitive form".

This class always produces the constructed form with underlying segments in an indefinite length array. If the input wasn't the same, then this output is not faithful reproduction.

See `ASN1OctetString` for X.690 encoding rules of OCTET-STRING objects.

Field Summary
`static BEROctetString` | `EMPTY`

Constructor Summary
`BEROctetString(ASN1OctetString[] elements)` Multiple `ASN1OctetString` data blocks are input, the result is constructed form.
`BEROctetString(ASN1OctetString[] elements, int segmentLimit)` Multiple `ASN1OctetString` data blocks are input, the result is constructed form.
`BEROctetString(byte[] string)` Create an OCTET-STRING object from a byte[]
`BEROctetString(byte[] string, int segmentLimit)` Create an OCTET-STRING object from a byte[]

Method Summary
`static BEROctetString` | `fromContents(byte[] contents)`
`static BEROctetString` | `fromContentsOptional(byte[] contents)`
`static BEROctetString` | `withContents(byte[] contents)`
`static BEROctetString` | `withContentsOptional(byte[] contents)`
