<h1 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>The X509 ASN1 allocation routines, allocate and free an X509 structure, which represents an X509 certificate.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>X509_new_ex() allocates and initializes a X509 structure with a library context of <i>libctx</i>, property query of <i>propq</i> and a reference count of <b>1</b>. Many X509 functions such as X509_check_purpose(), and X509_verify() use this library context to select which providers supply the fetched algorithms (SHA1 is used internally). This created X509 object can then be used when loading binary data using d2i_X509().</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>X509_new() is similar to X509_new_ex() but sets the library context and property query to NULL. This results in the default (NULL) library context being used for any X509 operations requiring algorithm fetches.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>X509_free() decrements the reference count of <b>X509</b> structure <b>a</b> and frees it up if the reference count is zero. If <b>a</b> is NULL nothing is done.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>X509_up_ref() increments the reference count of <b>a</b>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>X509_chain_up_ref() increases the reference count of all certificates in chain <b>x</b> and returns a copy of the stack, or an empty stack if <b>a</b> is NULL.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>OSSL_STACK_OF_X509_free() deallocates the given list of pointers to certificates after calling X509_free() on all its elements.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h1 id="NOTES">NOTES</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>The function X509_up_ref() if useful if a certificate structure is being used by several different operations each of which will free it up after use: this avoids the need to duplicate the entire certificate structure.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The function X509_chain_up_ref() doesn't just up the reference count of each certificate. It also returns a copy of the stack, using sk_X509_dup(), but it serves a similar purpose: the returned chain persists after the original has been freed.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h1 id="RETURN-VALUES">RETURN VALUES</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>If the allocation fails, X509_new() returns NULL and sets an error code that can be obtained by <a href="../man3/ERR_get_error.html">ERR_get_error(3)</a>. Otherwise it returns a pointer to the newly allocated structure.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>X509_up_ref() returns 1 for success and 0 for failure.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>X509_chain_up_ref() returns a copy of the stack or NULL if an error occurred.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>OSSL_STACK_OF_X509_free() has no return value.</p>
