RELATIVE-OID values are represented using Java class Asn1StringRelativeOID, or a subclass thereof, when the -oid-as-stringoption is specified.

The advantage of this representation is that arbitrarily large arc identifiers may be used.

Asn1StringRelativeOID is a subclass of Asn1StringOID, the class used for OBJECT IDENTIFIER, which see.

If a named type is defined, asn1c will generate a class similar to the OBJECT IDENTIFIER case, except that the base class is Asn1StringRelativeOID.
