34=head1 DESCRIPTION
35
36These functions convert to and from B<ASN1_INTEGER> and B<ASN1_ENUMERATED>
37structures.
38
39ASN1_INTEGER_get_int64() converts an B<ASN1_INTEGER> into an B<int64_t> type
40If successful it returns 1 and sets I<*pr> to the value of I<a>. If it fails
41(due to invalid type or the value being too big to fit into an B<int64_t> type)
42it returns 0.
43
44ASN1_INTEGER_get_uint64() is similar to ASN1_INTEGER_get_int64_t() except it
45converts to a B<uint64_t> type and an error is returned if the passed integer
46is negative.
47
48ASN1_INTEGER_get() also returns the value of I<a> but it returns 0 if I<a> is
49NULL and -1 on error (which is ambiguous because -1 is a legitimate value for
50an B<ASN1_INTEGER>). New applications should use ASN1_INTEGER_get_int64()
51instead.
52
53ASN1_INTEGER_set_int64() sets the value of B<ASN1_INTEGER> I<a> to the
54B<int64_t> value I<r>.
55
56ASN1_INTEGER_set_uint64() sets the value of B<ASN1_INTEGER> I<a> to the
57B<uint64_t> value I<r>.
58
59ASN1_INTEGER_set() sets the value of B<ASN1_INTEGER> I<a> to the I<long> value
60I<v>.
61
62BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER() converts B<BIGNUM> I<bn> to an B<ASN1_INTEGER>. If I<ai>
63is NULL a new B<ASN1_INTEGER> structure is returned. If I<ai> is not NULL then
64the existing structure will be used instead.
65
66ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN() converts ASN1_INTEGER I<ai> into a B<BIGNUM>. If I<bn> is
67NULL a new B<BIGNUM> structure is returned. If I<bn> is not NULL then the
68existing structure will be used instead.
69
70ASN1_ENUMERATED_get_int64(), ASN1_ENUMERATED_set_int64(),
71ASN1_ENUMERATED_set(), BN_to_ASN1_ENUMERATED() and ASN1_ENUMERATED_to_BN()
72behave in an identical way to their ASN1_INTEGER counterparts except they
73operate on an B<ASN1_ENUMERATED> value.
74
75ASN1_ENUMERATED_get() returns the value of I<a> in a similar way to
76ASN1_INTEGER_get() but it returns B<0xffffffffL> if the value of I<a> will not
77fit in a long type. New applications should use ASN1_ENUMERATED_get_int64()
78instead.
79
80=head1 NOTES
81
82In general an B<ASN1_INTEGER> or B<ASN1_ENUMERATED> type can contain an
83integer of almost arbitrary size and so cannot always be represented by a C
84B<int64_t> type. However, in many cases (for example version numbers) they
85represent small integers which can be more easily manipulated if converted to
86an appropriate C integer type.
87
88=head1 BUGS
89
90The ambiguous return values of ASN1_INTEGER_get() and ASN1_ENUMERATED_get()
91mean these functions should be avoided if possible. They are retained for
92compatibility. Normally the ambiguous return values are not legitimate
93values for the fields they represent.
94
95=head1 RETURN VALUES
96
97ASN1_INTEGER_set_int64(), ASN1_INTEGER_set(), ASN1_ENUMERATED_set_int64() and
98ASN1_ENUMERATED_set() return 1 for success and 0 for failure. They will only
99fail if a memory allocation error occurs.
100
101ASN1_INTEGER_get_int64() and ASN1_ENUMERATED_get_int64() return 1 for success
102and 0 for failure. They will fail if the passed type is incorrect (this will
103only happen if there is a programming error) or if the value exceeds the range
104of an B<int64_t> type.
105
106BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER() and BN_to_ASN1_ENUMERATED() return an B<ASN1_INTEGER> or
107B<ASN1_ENUMERATED> structure respectively or NULL if an error occurs. They will
108only fail due to a memory allocation error.
109
110ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN() and ASN1_ENUMERATED_to_BN() return a B<BIGNUM> structure
111of NULL if an error occurs. They can fail if the passed type is incorrect
112(due to programming error) or due to a memory allocation failure.
