  25 =head1 DESCRIPTION
  26
  27 X509_get0_signature() sets B<*psig> to the signature of B<x> and B<*palg>
  28 to the signature algorithm of B<x>. The values returned are internal
  29 pointers which B<MUST NOT> be freed up after the call.
  30
  31 X509_get_signature_nid() returns the NID corresponding to the signature
  32 algorithm of B<x>.
  33
  34 X509_REQ_get0_signature(), X509_REQ_get_signature_nid()
  35 X509_CRL_get0_signature() and X509_CRL_get_signature_nid() perform the
  36 same function for certificate requests and CRLs.
  37
  38 =head1 NOTES
  39
  40 These functions provide lower level access to signatures in certificates
  41 where an application wishes to analyse or generate a signature in a form
  42 where X509_sign() et al is not appropriate (for example a non standard
  43 or unsupported format).
  44
  45 =head1 RETURN VALUES
  46
  47 X509_get_signature_nid(), X509_REQ_get_signature_nid() and
  48 X509_CRL_get_signature_nid() return a NID.
  49
  50 X509_get0_signature(), X509_REQ_get0_signature() and
  51 X509_CRL_get0_signature() do not return values.
