* As stated in RFC 5280 Appendix B, trailing zeroes are

|

* \param p Reference to current position pointer.
|
||||
* \param start Start of the buffer (for bounds-checking).
|
||||
* \param buf The bitstring.
|
||||
* \note This function works backwards within the data buffer.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* \param p The reference to the current position pointer.
|
||||
* \param start The start of the buffer which is used for bounds-checking.
|
||||
* \param buf The bitstring to write.
|
||||
* \param bits The total number of bits in the bitstring.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* \return The length written or a negative error code.
|
||||
* \return The number of bytes written to \p p on success.
|
||||
* \return A negative error code on failure.
