7       X509_set_issuer_name, X509_REQ_get_subject_name,

SYNOPSIS

12        #include <openssl/x509.h>
13
14        X509_NAME *X509_get_subject_name(const X509 *x);
15        int X509_set_subject_name(X509 *x, X509_NAME *name);
16
17        X509_NAME *X509_get_issuer_name(const X509 *x);
18        int X509_set_issuer_name(X509 *x, X509_NAME *name);
19
20        X509_NAME *X509_REQ_get_subject_name(const X509_REQ *req);
21        int X509_REQ_set_subject_name(X509_REQ *req, X509_NAME *name);
22
23        X509_NAME *X509_CRL_get_issuer(const X509_CRL *crl);
24        int X509_CRL_set_issuer_name(X509_CRL *x, X509_NAME *name);
25

DESCRIPTION

27       X509_get_subject_name() returns the subject name of certificate x. The
28       returned value is an internal pointer which MUST NOT be freed.
29
30       X509_set_subject_name() sets the issuer name of certificate x to name.
31       The name parameter is copied internally and should be freed up when it
32       is no longer needed.
33
34       X509_get_issuer_name() and X509_set_issuer_name() are identical to
35       X509_get_subject_name() and X509_set_subject_name() except the get and
36       set the issuer name of x.
37
38       Similarly X509_REQ_get_subject_name(), X509_REQ_set_subject_name(),
39       X509_CRL_get_issuer() and X509_CRL_set_issuer_name() get or set the
40       subject or issuer names of certificate requests of CRLs respectively.
41

RETURN VALUES

43       X509_get_subject_name(), X509_get_issuer_name(),
44       X509_REQ_get_subject_name() and X509_CRL_get_issuer() return an
45       X509_NAME pointer.
46
47       X509_set_subject_name(), X509_set_issuer_name(),
48       X509_REQ_set_subject_name() and X509_CRL_set_issuer_name() return 1 for
49       success and 0 for failure.
