DESCRIPTION

X509V3_get_ext_d2i() looks for an extension with nid in the extensions x and, if found, decodes it. If idx is then only one occurrence of an extension is permissible otherwise the first extension after index *idx is returned and *idx updated to the location of the extension. If crit is not then *crit is set to a status value: -2 if the extension occurs multiple times (this is only returned if idx is ), -1 if the extension could not be found, 0 if the extension is found and is not critical and 1 if critical. A pointer to an extension specific structure or is returned.

X509V3_add1_i2d() adds extension value to

*x (allocating a new if necessary) using nid and criticality crit according to flags.

X509V3_EXT_d2i() attempts to decode the

data contained in extension ext and returns a pointer to an extension specific structure or if the extension could not be decoded (invalid syntax or not supported).

X509V3_EXT_i2d() encodes the extension specific structure ext with

ext_nid and criticality crit.

X509_get_ext_d2i() and X509_add1_ext_i2d() operate on the extensions of certificate x, they are otherwise identical to X509V3_get_d2i() and X509V3_add_i2d().

X509_CRL_get_ext_d2i() and X509_CRL_add1_ext_i2d() operate on the extensions of

crl, they are otherwise identical to X509V3_get_d2i() and X509V3_add_i2d().

X509_REVOKED_get_ext_d2i() and X509_REVOKED_add1_ext_i2d() operate on the extensions of X509_REVOKED structure r (i.e for

entry extensions), they are otherwise identical to X509V3_get_d2i() and X509V3_add_i2d().

X509_get0_extensions(), X509_CRL_get0_extensions() and X509_REVOKED_get0_extensions() return a stack of all the extensions of a certificate a

or a entry respectively.

NOTES

In almost all cases an extension can occur at most once and multiple occurrences is an error. Therefore the idx parameter is usually .

The flags parameter may be one of the following values.

X509V3_ADD_DEFAULT appends a new extension only if the extension does not already exist. An error is returned if the extension does already exist.

X509V3_ADD_APPEND appends a new extension, ignoring whether the extension already exists.

X509V3_ADD_REPLACE replaces an extension if it exists otherwise appends a new extension.

X509V3_ADD_REPLACE_EXISTING replaces an existing extension if it exists otherwise returns an error.

X509V3_ADD_KEEP_EXISTING appends a new extension only if the extension does not already exist. An error is not returned if the extension does already exist.

X509V3_ADD_DELETE extension nid is deleted: no new extension is added.

If X509V3_ADD_SILENT is ored with flags: any error returned will not be added to the error queue.

The function X509V3_get_d2i() will return

if the extension is not found, occurs multiple times or cannot be decoded. It is possible to determine the precise reason by checking the value of *crit.
