  31 =head1 DESCRIPTION
  32
  33 X509_NAME_ENTRY_get_object() retrieves the field name of B<ne> in
  34 and B<ASN1_OBJECT> structure.
  35
  36 X509_NAME_ENTRY_get_data() retrieves the field value of B<ne> in
  37 and B<ASN1_STRING> structure.
  38
  39 X509_NAME_ENTRY_set_object() sets the field name of B<ne> to B<obj>.
  40
  41 X509_NAME_ENTRY_set_data() sets the field value of B<ne> to string type
  42 B<type> and value determined by B<bytes> and B<len>.
  43
  44 X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_txt(), X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_NID()
  45 and X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_OBJ() create and return an
  46 B<X509_NAME_ENTRY> structure.
  47
  48 =head1 NOTES
  49
  50 X509_NAME_ENTRY_get_object() and X509_NAME_ENTRY_get_data() can be
  51 used to examine an B<X509_NAME_ENTRY> function as returned by
  52 X509_NAME_get_entry() for example.
  53
  54 X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_txt(), X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_NID(),
  55 and X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_OBJ() create and return an
  56
  57 X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_txt(), X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_OBJ(),
  58 X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_NID() and X509_NAME_ENTRY_set_data()
  59 are seldom used in practice because B<X509_NAME_ENTRY> structures
  60 are almost always part of B<X509_NAME> structures and the
  61 corresponding B<X509_NAME> functions are typically used to
  62 create and add new entries in a single operation.
  63
  64 The arguments of these functions support similar options to the similarly
  65 named ones of the corresponding B<X509_NAME> functions such as
  66 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(). So for example B<type> can be set to
  67 B<MBSTRING_ASC> but in the case of X509_set_data() the field name must be
  68 set first so the relevant field information can be looked up internally.
