3.2.1 tType4AppDS

This structure represents the entire Type 4 tag (see Figure 8), and it contains the following two parameters:

  • sType4AppArray – An array of Type 4 applications, corresponding to the N different applications contained within the Type 4 tag.

    • Typically this should be set as an array of length N with the correct structure type, and each element of the array should point to one of the applications.

  • ui8AppArrayLen – The total number of different applications contained within the Type 4 tag. If an array is used as described above, this value is equivalent to the length N of that array.
