The caller is responsible for shifting octets if unusedBits is not 0. For example, to DER encode a web server X.509 key usage, the 101b bit mask is often used (digitalSignature and keyEncipherment). In this case str is one octet with a value=0xa0 and unusedBits=5. The value 0xa0 is 101b << 5.

btBufferedTransformation object for reading
strthe decoded string
unusedBitsthe number of unused bits

The caller is responsible for shifting octets if unusedBits is not 0. For example, to DER encode a web server X.509 key usage, the 101b bit mask is often used (digitalSignature and keyEncipherment). In this case str is one octet with a value=0xa0 and unusedBits=5. The value 0xa0 is 101b << 5.
