DESCRIPTION

27       X509_NAME_ENTRY_get_object() retrieves the field name of ne in and
28       ASN1_OBJECT structure.
29
30       X509_NAME_ENTRY_get_data() retrieves the field value of ne in and
31       ASN1_STRING structure.
32
33       X509_NAME_ENTRY_set_object() sets the field name of ne to obj.
34
35       X509_NAME_ENTRY_set_data() sets the field value of ne to string type
36       type and value determined by bytes and len.
37
38       X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_txt(), X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_NID() and
39       X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_OBJ() create and return an X509_NAME_ENTRY
40       structure.

NOTES

43       X509_NAME_ENTRY_get_object() and X509_NAME_ENTRY_get_data() can be used
44       to examine an X509_NAME_ENTRY function as returned by
45       X509_NAME_get_entry() for example.
46
47       X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_txt(), X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_NID(), and
48       X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_OBJ() create and return an
49
50       X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_txt(), X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_OBJ(),
51       X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_NID() and X509_NAME_ENTRY_set_data() are sel‐
52       dom used in practice because X509_NAME_ENTRY structures are almost
53       always part of X509_NAME structures and the corresponding X509_NAME
54       functions are typically used to create and add new entries in a single
55       operation.
56
57       The arguments of these functions support similar options to the simi‐
58       larly named ones of the corresponding X509_NAME functions such as
59       X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(). So for example type can be set to
60       MBSTRING_ASC but in the case of X509_set_data() the field name must be
61       set first so the relevant field information can be looked up inter‐
62       nally.
