* asn1_get_octet_der:
* @der: DER data to decode containing the OCTET SEQUENCE.
- * @der_len: Length of DER data to decode.
- * @ret_len: Output variable containing the length of the DER data.
+ * @der_len: The length of the @der data to decode.
+ * @ret_len: Output variable containing the encoded length of the DER data.
* @str: Pre-allocated output buffer to put decoded OCTET SEQUENCE in.
* @str_size: Length of pre-allocated output buffer.
- * @str_len: Output variable containing the length of the OCTET SEQUENCE.
+ * @str_len: Output variable containing the length of the contents of the OCTET SEQUENCE.
