SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/x509.h>
ASN1_OBJECT * X509_NAME_ENTRY_get_object(X509_NAME_ENTRY *ne);
ASN1_STRING * X509_NAME_ENTRY_get_data(X509_NAME_ENTRY *ne);
int X509_NAME_ENTRY_set_object(X509_NAME_ENTRY *ne, ASN1_OBJECT *obj);
int X509_NAME_ENTRY_set_data(X509_NAME_ENTRY *ne, int type, const unsigned char *bytes, int len);
X509_NAME_ENTRY *X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_txt(X509_NAME_ENTRY **ne, const char *field, int type, const unsigned char *bytes, int len);
X509_NAME_ENTRY *X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_NID(X509_NAME_ENTRY **ne, int nid, int type,unsigned char *bytes, int len);
X509_NAME_ENTRY *X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_OBJ(X509_NAME_ENTRY **ne, ASN1_OBJECT *obj, int type, const unsigned char *bytes, int len);
DESCRIPTION
X509_NAME_ENTRY_get_object() retrieves the field name of
ne in
and
ASN1_OBJECT structure.
X509_NAME_ENTRY_get_data() retrieves the field value of ne in
and ASN1_STRING structure.
X509_NAME_ENTRY_set_object() sets the field name of ne to obj.
X509_NAME_ENTRY_set_data() sets the field value of ne to string type
type and value determined by bytes and len.
X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_txt(), X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_NID()
and X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_OBJ() create and return an
X509_NAME_ENTRY structure.
NOTES
X509_NAME_ENTRY_get_object() and
X509_NAME_ENTRY_get_data() can be
used to examine an
X509_NAME_ENTRY function as returned by
X509_NAME_get_entry() for example.
X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_txt(), X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_NID(),
and X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_OBJ() create and return an
X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_txt(), X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_OBJ(),
X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_NID() and X509_NAME_ENTRY_set_data()
are seldom used in practice because X509_NAME_ENTRY structures
are almost always part of X509_NAME structures and the
corresponding X509_NAME functions are typically used to
create and add new entries in a single operation.
The arguments of these functions support similar options to the similarly
named ones of the corresponding X509_NAME functions such as
X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(). So for example type can be set to
MBSTRING_ASC but in the case of X509_set_data() the field name must be
set first so the relevant field information can be looked up internally.
