Public Class methods

new(ts, ls, lbytes=1, tlinclude=false)

Create a new TLV which requires ts bytes for the type field and ls bytes for the length field, where (optionally) the value in length is a multiple of lbytes and (optionally) whether or not the length field indicates the total length of the TLV of just that of the value
