NAME

d2i_X509_EXTENSION, i2d_X509_EXTENSION, d2i_X509_EXTENSIONS, i2d_X509_EXTENSIONS — decode and encode X.509 Extensions

SYNOPSIS

#include <openssl/x509.h> X509_EXTENSION *
d2i_X509_EXTENSION(X509_EXTENSION **val_out, const unsigned char **der_in, long length); int
i2d_X509_EXTENSION(X509_EXTENSION *val_in, unsigned char **der_out); X509_EXTENSIONS *
d2i_X509_EXTENSIONS(X509_EXTENSIONS **val_out, const unsigned char **der_in, long length); int
i2d_X509_EXTENSIONS(X509_EXTENSIONS *val_in, unsigned char **der_out);

DESCRIPTION

d2i_X509_EXTENSION() and i2d_X509_EXTENSION() decode and encode an ASN.1 Extension structure defined in RFC 5280 section 4.1. d2i_X509_EXTENSIONS() and i2d_X509_EXTENSIONS() decode and encode an ASN.1 Extensions structure defined in RFC 5280 section 4.1, which is a SEQUENCE OF Extension.

RETURN VALUES

d2i_X509_EXTENSION() and d2i_X509_EXTENSIONS() return an X509_EXTENSION or X509_EXTENSIONS object, respectively, or NULL if an error occurs. i2d_X509_EXTENSION() and i2d_X509_EXTENSIONS() return the number of bytes successfully encoded or a negative value if an error occurs.
