3 The X509_EXTENSION_METHOD includes extensions and attributes and/or names.
4 Basically everthing that can be added to an X509 with an OID identifying it.
6 It operates via 2 methods per object id.
7 int a2i_XXX(X509 *x,char *str,int len);
8 int i2a_XXX(BIO *bp,X509 *x);
10 The a2i_XXX function will add the object with a value converted from the
11 string into the X509. Len can be -1 in which case the length is calculated
12 via strlen(str). Applications can always use direct knowledge to load and
13 unload the relevent objects themselves.
15 i2a_XXX will print to the passed BIO, a text representation of the
16 relevet object. Use a memory BIO if you want it printed to a buffer :-).
18 X509_add_by_NID(X509 *x,int nid,char *str,int len);
19 X509_add_by_OBJ(X509 *x,ASN1_OBJECT *obj,char *str,int len);
21 X509_print_by_name(BIO *bp,X509 *x);
22 X509_print_by_NID(BIO *bp,X509 *x);
23 X509_print_by_OBJ(BIO *bp,X509 *x);
