NAME

6       ne_ssl_cert_read, ne_ssl_cert_write, ne_ssl_cert_import,
7       ne_ssl_cert_export - functions to read or write certificates to and
8       from files or strings
9

SYNOPSIS

11       #include <ne_ssl.h>
12
13       ne_ssl_certificate *ne_ssl_cert_read(const char *filename);
14
15       int ne_ssl_cert_write(const ne_ssl_certificate *cert,
16                             const char *filename);
17
18       ne_ssl_certificate *ne_ssl_cert_import(const char *data);
19
20       char *ne_ssl_cert_export(const ne_ssl_certificate *cert);
21

DESCRIPTION

23       The ne_ssl_cert_write function writes a certificate to a file using the
24       PEM encoding. The ne_ssl_cert_export function returns a base64-encoded
25       NUL-terminated string representing the certificate. This string is
26       malloc-allocated and should be destroyed using free by the caller.
27
28       The ne_ssl_cert_read function reads a certificate from a PEM-encoded
29       file, and returns a certificate object. The ne_ssl_cert_import function
30       returns a certificate object from a base64-encoded string, data, as
31       returned by ne_ssl_cert_export. The certificate object returned by
32       these functions should be destroyed using ne_ssl_cert_free after use.
33

RETURN VALUE

35       ne_ssl_cert_read returns NULL if a certificate could not be read from
36       the file.  ne_ssl_cert_write returns non-zero if the certificate could
37       not be written to the file.  ne_ssl_cert_export always returns a
38       NUL-terminated string, and never NULL.  ne_ssl_cert_import returns NULL
39       if the string was not a valid base64-encoded certificate.
40

ENCODING FORMATS

42       The string produced by ne_ssl_cert_export is the base64 encoding of the
43       DER representation of the certificate. The file written by
44       ne_ssl_cert_write uses the PEM format: this is the base64 encoding of
45       the DER representation with newlines every 64 characters, and start and
46       end marker lines.
