CRYPTO_set_ex_data(3) OpenSSL CRYPTO_set_ex_data(3)
NAME
CRYPTO_set_ex_data, CRYPTO_get_ex_data - internal
application specific data functions
SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/crypto.h>
int CRYPTO_set_ex_data(CRYPTO_EX_DATA *r, int idx, void *arg);
void *CRYPTO_get_ex_data(CRYPTO_EX_DATA *r, int idx);
DESCRIPTION
Several OpenSSL structures can have application specific
data attached to them. These functions are used internally
by OpenSSL to manipulate application specific data attached
to a specific structure.
These functions should only be used by applications to
manipulate CRYPTO_EX_DATA structures passed to the
nneeww_ffuunncc(()), ffrreeee_ffuunncc(()) and dduupp_ffuunncc(()) callbacks: as passed
to RRSSAA_ggeett_eexx_nneeww_iinnddeexx(()) for example.
CCRRYYPPTTOO_sseett_eexx_ddaattaa(()) is used to set application specific
data, the data is supplied in the arg parameter and its
precise meaning is up to the application.
CCRRYYPPTTOO_ggeett_eexx_ddaattaa(()) is used to retrieve application
specific data. The data is returned to the application, this
will be the same value as supplied to a previous
CCRRYYPPTTOO_sseett_eexx_ddaattaa(()) call.
RETURN VALUES
CCRRYYPPTTOO_sseett_eexx_ddaattaa(()) returns 1 on success or 0 on failure.
CCRRYYPPTTOO_ggeett_eexx_ddaattaa(()) returns the application data or 0 on
failure. 0 may also be valid application data but currently
it can only fail if given an invalid idx parameter.
On failure an error code can be obtained from
ERR_get_error(3).
