DESCRIPTION

32       X509_NAME_ENTRY_get_object() retrieves the field name of ne in and
33       ASN1_OBJECT structure.
34
35       X509_NAME_ENTRY_get_data() retrieves the field value of ne in and
36       ASN1_STRING structure.
37
38       X509_NAME_ENTRY_set_object() sets the field name of ne to obj.
39
40       X509_NAME_ENTRY_set_data() sets the field value of ne to string type
41       type and value determined by bytes and len.
42
43       X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_txt(), X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_NID() and
44       X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_OBJ() create and return an X509_NAME_ENTRY
45       structure.
46

NOTES

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

RETURN VALUES

67       X509_NAME_ENTRY_get_object() returns a valid ASN1_OBJECT structure if
68       it is set or NULL if an error occurred.
69
70       X509_NAME_ENTRY_get_data() returns a valid ASN1_STRING structure if it
71       is set or NULL if an error occurred.
72
73       X509_NAME_ENTRY_set_object() and X509_NAME_ENTRY_set_data() return 1 on
74       success or 0 on error.
75
76       X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_txt(), X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_NID() and
77       X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_OBJ() return a valid X509_NAME_ENTRY on
78       success or NULL if an error occurred.
