48=head1 DESCRIPTION
49
50These functions are primarily useful for applications to retrieve
51supported objects from B<OSSL_STORE_INFO> objects and for scheme specific
52loaders to create B<OSSL_STORE_INFO> holders.
53
54=head2 Types
55
56B<OSSL_STORE_INFO> is an opaque type that's just an intermediary holder for
57the objects that have been retrieved by OSSL_STORE_load() and similar
58functions.
59Supported OpenSSL type object can be extracted using one of
60STORE_INFO_get0_TYPE().
61The life time of this extracted object is as long as the life time of
62the B<OSSL_STORE_INFO> it was extracted from, so care should be taken not
63to free the latter too early.
64As an alternative, STORE_INFO_get1_TYPE() extracts a duplicate (or the
65same object with its reference count increased), which can be used
66after the containing B<OSSL_STORE_INFO> has been freed.
67The object returned by STORE_INFO_get1_TYPE() must be freed separately
68by the caller.
69See L</SUPPORTED OBJECTS> for more information on the types that are
70supported.
71
72=head2 Functions
73
74OSSL_STORE_INFO_get_type() takes a B<OSSL_STORE_INFO> and returns the STORE
75type number for the object inside.
76STORE_INFO_get_type_string() takes a STORE type number and returns a
77short string describing it.
78
79OSSL_STORE_INFO_get0_NAME(), OSSL_STORE_INFO_get0_NAME_description(),
80OSSL_STORE_INFO_get0_PARAMS(), OSSL_STORE_INFO_get0_PKEY(),
81OSSL_STORE_INFO_get0_CERT() and OSSL_STORE_INFO_get0_CRL() all take a
82B<OSSL_STORE_INFO> and return the held object of the appropriate OpenSSL
83type provided that's what's held.
84
85OSSL_STORE_INFO_get1_NAME(), OSSL_STORE_INFO_get1_NAME_description(),
86OSSL_STORE_INFO_get1_PARAMS(), OSSL_STORE_INFO_get1_PKEY(),
87OSSL_STORE_INFO_get1_CERT() and OSSL_STORE_INFO_get1_CRL() all take a
88B<OSSL_STORE_INFO> and return a duplicate of the held object of the
89appropriate OpenSSL type provided that's what's held.
90
91OSSL_STORE_INFO_free() frees a B<OSSL_STORE_INFO> and its contained type.
92
93OSSL_STORE_INFO_new_NAME() , OSSL_STORE_INFO_new_PARAMS(),
94OSSL_STORE_INFO_new_PKEY(), OSSL_STORE_INFO_new_CERT() and
95OSSL_STORE_INFO_new_CRL() create a B<OSSL_STORE_INFO>
96object to hold the given input object.
97Additionally, for B<OSSL_STORE_INFO_NAME>` objects,
98OSSL_STORE_INFO_set0_NAME_description() can be used to add an extra
99description.
100This description is meant to be human readable and should be used for
101information printout.
102
103=head1 SUPPORTED OBJECTS
104
105Currently supported object types are:
106
107=over 4
108
109=item OSSL_STORE_INFO_NAME
110
111A name is exactly that, a name.
112It's like a name in a directory, but formatted as a complete URI.
113For example, the path in URI C<file:/foo/bar/> could include a file
114named C<cookie.pem>, and in that case, the returned B<OSSL_STORE_INFO_NAME>
115object would have the URI C<file:/foo/bar/cookie.pem>, which can be
116used by the application to get the objects in that file.
117This can be applied to all schemes that can somehow support a listing
118of object URIs.
119
120For C<file:> URIs that are used without the explicit scheme, the
121returned name will be the path of each object, so if C</foo/bar> was
122given and that path has the file C<cookie.pem>, the name
123C</foo/bar/cookie.pem> will be returned.
124
125The returned URI is considered canonical and must be unique and permanent
126for the storage where the object (or collection of objects) resides.
127Each loader is responsible for ensuring that it only returns canonical
128URIs.
129However, it's possible that certain schemes allow an object (or collection
130thereof) to be reached with alternative URIs; just because one URI is
131canonical doesn't mean that other variants can't be used.
132
133At the discretion of the loader that was used to get these names, an
134extra description may be attached as well.
135
136=item OSSL_STORE_INFO_PARAMS
137
138Key parameters.
139
140=item OSSL_STORE_INFO_PKEY
141
142A private/public key of some sort.
143
144=item OSSL_STORE_INFO_CERT
145
146An X.509 certificate.
147
148=item OSSL_STORE_INFO_CRL
149
150A X.509 certificate revocation list.

153
154=head1 RETURN VALUES
155
156OSSL_STORE_INFO_get_type() returns the STORE type number of the given
157B<OSSL_STORE_INFO>.
158There is no error value.
159
160OSSL_STORE_INFO_get0_NAME(), OSSL_STORE_INFO_get0_NAME_description(),
161OSSL_STORE_INFO_get0_PARAMS(), OSSL_STORE_INFO_get0_PKEY(),
162OSSL_STORE_INFO_get0_CERT() and OSSL_STORE_INFO_get0_CRL() all return
163a pointer to the OpenSSL object on success, NULL otherwise.
164
165OSSL_STORE_INFO_get0_NAME(), OSSL_STORE_INFO_get0_NAME_description(),
166OSSL_STORE_INFO_get0_PARAMS(), OSSL_STORE_INFO_get0_PKEY(),
167OSSL_STORE_INFO_get0_CERT() and OSSL_STORE_INFO_get0_CRL() all return
168a pointer to a duplicate of the OpenSSL object on success, NULL otherwise.
169
170OSSL_STORE_INFO_type_string() returns a string on success, or B<NULL> on
171failure.
172
173OSSL_STORE_INFO_new_NAME(), OSSL_STORE_INFO_new_PARAMS(),
174OSSL_STORE_INFO_new_PKEY(), OSSL_STORE_INFO_new_CERT() and
175OSSL_STORE_INFO_new_CRL() return a B<OSSL_STORE_INFO>
176pointer on success, or B<NULL> on failure.
177
178OSSL_STORE_INFO_set0_NAME_description() returns 1 on success, or 0 on
179failure.
