+ * \brief          This function parses an item in the SubjectAlternativeNames

+ * \param san_buf  The buffer holding the raw data item of the subject
+ *                 alternative name.
+ * \param san      The target structure to populate with the parsed presentation
+ *                 of the subject alternative name encoded in \p san_raw.
+ *
+ * \note           Only "dnsName" and "otherName" of type hardware_module_name
+ *                 as defined in RFC 4180 is supported.
+ *
+ * \note           This function should be called on a single raw data of
+ *                 subject alternative name. For example, after successful
+ *                 certificate parsing, one must iterate on every item in the
+ *                 \p crt->subject_alt_names sequence, and pass it to
+ *                 this function.
+ *
+ * \warning        The target structure contains pointers to the raw data of the
+ *                 parsed certificate, and its lifetime is restricted by the
+ *                 lifetime of the certificate.
+ *
+ * \return         \c 0 on success
+ * \return         #MBEDTLS_ERR_X509_FEATURE_UNAVAILABLE for an unsupported
+ *                 SAN type.
+ * \return         Another negative value for any other failure.
