NAME

6       CRYPTO_set_ex_data, CRYPTO_get_ex_data - internal application specific
7       data functions
8

SYNOPSIS

10        #include <openssl/crypto.h>
11
12        int CRYPTO_set_ex_data(CRYPTO_EX_DATA *r, int idx, void *arg);
13
14        void *CRYPTO_get_ex_data(CRYPTO_EX_DATA *r, int idx);

DESCRIPTION

17       Several OpenSSL structures can have application specific data attached
18       to them.  These functions are used internally by OpenSSL to manipulate
19       application specific data attached to a specific structure.
20
21       These functions should only be used by applications to manipulate
22       CRYPTO_EX_DATA structures passed to the new_func(), free_func() and
23       dup_func() callbacks: as passed to RSA_get_ex_new_index() for example.
24
25       CRYPTO_set_ex_data() is used to set application specific data, the data
26       is supplied in the arg parameter and its precise meaning is up to the
27       application.
28
29       CRYPTO_get_ex_data() is used to retrieve application specific data. The
30       data is returned to the application, this will be the same value as
31       supplied to a previous CRYPTO_set_ex_data() call.
32

RETURN VALUES

34       CRYPTO_set_ex_data() returns 1 on success or 0 on failure.
35
36       CRYPTO_get_ex_data() returns the application data or 0 on failure. 0
37       may also be valid application data but currently it can only fail if
38       given an invalid idx parameter.
39
40       On failure an error code can be obtained from ERR_get_error(3).
