NAME
ne_ssl_cert_read, ne_ssl_cert_write, ne_ssl_cert_import, ne_ssl_cert_export - functions to read or write certificates to and from files or strings
SYNOPSIS
#include <ne_ssl.h>
-
ne_ssl_certificate *ne_ssl_cert_read(const char *filename);
-
int ne_ssl_cert_write(const ne_ssl_certificate *cert, const char *filename);
-
ne_ssl_certificate *ne_ssl_cert_import(const char *data);
-
char *ne_ssl_cert_export(const ne_ssl_certificate *cert);
DESCRIPTION
The
ne_ssl_cert_write
function writes a certificate to a file using the PEM encoding. The
ne_ssl_cert_export
function returns a base64-encoded
NUL-terminated string representing the certificate. This string is malloc-allocated and should be destroyed using
free
by the caller.
The
ne_ssl_cert_read
function reads a certificate from a PEM-encoded file, and returns a certificate object. The
ne_ssl_cert_import
function returns a certificate object from a base64-encoded string,
data, as returned by
ne_ssl_cert_export. The certificate object returned by these functions should be destroyed using
ne_ssl_cert_free
after use.
RETURN VALUE
ne_ssl_cert_read
returns
NULL
if a certificate could not be read from the file.
ne_ssl_cert_write
returns non-zero if the certificate could not be written to the file.
ne_ssl_cert_export
always returns a
NUL-terminated string, and never
NULL.
ne_ssl_cert_import
returns
NULL
if the string was not a valid base64-encoded certificate.
ENCODING FORMATS
The string produced by
ne_ssl_cert_export
is the base64 encoding of the DER representation of the certificate. The file written by
ne_ssl_cert_write
uses the PEM format: this is the base64 encoding of the DER representation with newlines every 64 characters, and start and end marker lines.
