20        X509_NAME_ENTRY *X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_txt(X509_NAME_ENTRY **ne, const char *field, int type, const unsigned char *bytes, int len);
21        X509_NAME_ENTRY *X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_NID(X509_NAME_ENTRY **ne, int nid, int type,unsigned char *bytes, int len);
22        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

25       X509_NAME_ENTRY_get_object() retrieves the field name of ne in and
26       ASN1_OBJECT structure.
27
28       X509_NAME_ENTRY_get_data() retrieves the field value of ne in and
29       ASN1_STRING structure.
30
31       X509_NAME_ENTRY_set_object() sets the field name of ne to obj.
32
33       X509_NAME_ENTRY_set_data() sets the field value of ne to string type
34       type and value determined by bytes and len.
35
36       X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_txt(), X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_NID() and
37       X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_OBJ() create and return an X509_NAME_ENTRY
38       structure.

NOTES

41       X509_NAME_ENTRY_get_object() and X509_NAME_ENTRY_get_data() can be used
42       to examine an X509_NAME_ENTRY function as returned by
43       X509_NAME_get_entry() for example.
44
45       X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_txt(), X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_NID(), and
46       X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_OBJ() create and return an
47
48       X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_txt(), X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_OBJ(),
49       X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_NID() and X509_NAME_ENTRY_set_data() are
50       seldom used in practice because X509_NAME_ENTRY structures are almost
51       always part of X509_NAME structures and the corresponding X509_NAME
52       functions are typically used to create and add new entries in a single
53       operation.
54
55       The arguments of these functions support similar options to the
56       similarly named ones of the corresponding X509_NAME functions such as
57       X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(). So for example type can be set to
58       MBSTRING_ASC but in the case of X509_set_data() the field name must be
59       set first so the relevant field information can be looked up
60       internally.
