NAME

6       X509_get_version, X509_set_version, X509_REQ_get_version,
7       X509_REQ_set_version, X509_CRL_get_version, X509_CRL_set_version - get
8       or set certificate, certificate request or CRL version

SYNOPSIS

11        #include <openssl/x509.h>
12
13        long X509_get_version(const X509 *x);
14        int X509_set_version(X509 *x, long version);
15
16        long X509_REQ_get_version(const X509_REQ *req);
17        int X509_REQ_set_version(X509_REQ *x, long version);
18
19        long X509_CRL_get_version(const X509_CRL *crl);
20        int X509_CRL_set_version(X509_CRL *x, long version);
21

DESCRIPTION

23       X509_get_version() returns the numerical value of the version field of
24       certificate x. Note: this is defined by standards (X.509 et al) to be
25       one less than the certificate version. So a version 3 certificate will
26       return 2 and a version 1 certificate will return 0.
27
28       X509_set_version() sets the numerical value of the version field of
29       certificate x to version.
30
31       Similarly X509_REQ_get_version(), X509_REQ_set_version(),
32       X509_CRL_get_version() and X509_CRL_set_version() get and set the
33       version number of certificate requests and CRLs.
34

NOTES

36       The version field of certificates, certificate requests and CRLs has a
37       DEFAULT value of v1(0) meaning the field should be omitted for version
38       1. This is handled transparently by these functions.
39

RETURN VALUES

41       X509_get_version(), X509_REQ_get_version() and X509_CRL_get_version()
42       return the numerical value of the version field.
43
44       X509_set_version(), X509_REQ_set_version() and X509_CRL_set_version()
45       return 1 for success and 0 for failure.

HISTORY

57       X509_get_version(), X509_REQ_get_version() and X509_CRL_get_version()
58       are functions in OpenSSL 1.1.0, in previous versions they were macros.
