NAME

     X509_NAME_ENTRY_get_object, X509_NAME_ENTRY_get_data,
     X509_NAME_ENTRY_set_object, X509_NAME_ENTRY_set_data,
     X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_txt,
     X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_NID, X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_OBJ
     - X509_NAME_ENTRY utility functions

SYNOPSIS

      #include <openssl/x509.h>

      ASN1_OBJECT * X509_NAME_ENTRY_get_object(X509_NAME_ENTRY *ne);
      ASN1_STRING * X509_NAME_ENTRY_get_data(X509_NAME_ENTRY *ne);

      int X509_NAME_ENTRY_set_object(X509_NAME_ENTRY *ne, ASN1_OBJECT *obj);
      int X509_NAME_ENTRY_set_data(X509_NAME_ENTRY *ne, int type, const unsigned char *bytes, int len);

      X509_NAME_ENTRY *X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_txt(X509_NAME_ENTRY **ne, const char *field, int type, const unsigned char *bytes, int len);
      X509_NAME_ENTRY *X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_NID(X509_NAME_ENTRY **ne, int nid, int type,unsigned char *bytes, int len);
      X509_NAME_ENTRY *X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_OBJ(X509_NAME_ENTRY **ne, ASN1_OBJECT *obj, int type, const unsigned char *bytes, int len);

DESCRIPTION

     X509_NAME_ENTRY_get_object() retrieves the field name of ne
     in and ASN1_OBJECT structure.

     X509_NAME_ENTRY_get_data() retrieves the field value of ne
     in and ASN1_STRING structure.

     X509_NAME_ENTRY_set_object() sets the field name of ne to
     obj.

     X509_NAME_ENTRY_set_data() sets the field value of ne to
     string type type and value determined by bytes and len.

     X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_txt(),
     X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_NID() and
     X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_OBJ() create and return an
     X509_NAME_ENTRY structure.

NOTES

     X509_NAME_ENTRY_get_object() and X509_NAME_ENTRY_get_data()
     can be used to examine an X509_NAME_ENTRY function as
     returned by X509_NAME_get_entry() for example.

     X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_txt(),
     X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_OBJ(),
     X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_NID() and
     X509_NAME_ENTRY_set_data() are seldom used in practice
     because X509_NAME_ENTRY structures are almost always part of
     X509_NAME structures and the corresponding X509_NAME
     functions are typically used to create and add new entries
     in a single operation.

X509_NAME_ENTRY_get_object(3)OpenSSLX509_NAME_ENTRY_get_object(3)

     The arguments of these functions support similar options to
     the similarly named ones of the corresponding X509_NAME
     functions such as X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(). So for
     example type can be set to MBSTRING_ASC but in the case of
     X509_set_data() the field name must be set first so the
     relevant field information can be looked up internally.
