=head1 DESCRIPTION

X509V3_get_d2i() looks for an extension with OID I<nid> in the extensions
I<x> and, if found, decodes it. If I<idx> is NULL then only one
occurrence of an extension is permissible, otherwise the first extension after
index I<*idx> is returned and I<*idx> updated to the location of the extension.
If I<crit> is not NULL then I<*crit> is set to a status value: -2 if the
extension occurs multiple times (this is only returned if I<idx> is NULL),
-1 if the extension could not be found, 0 if the extension is found and is
not critical and 1 if critical. A pointer to an extension specific structure
or NULL is returned.

X509V3_add1_i2d() adds extension I<value> to STACK I<*x> (allocating a new
STACK if necessary) using OID I<nid> and criticality I<crit> according
to I<flags>.

X509V3_EXT_d2i() attempts to decode the ASN.1 data contained in extension
I<ext> and returns a pointer to an extension specific structure or NULL
if the extension could not be decoded (invalid syntax or not supported).

X509V3_EXT_i2d() encodes the extension specific structure I<ext_struc>
with OID I<ext_nid> and criticality I<crit>.

X509_get_ext_d2i() and X509_add1_ext_i2d() operate on the extensions of
certificate I<x>. They are otherwise identical to X509V3_get_d2i() and
X509V3_add1_i2d().

X509_CRL_get_ext_d2i() and X509_CRL_add1_ext_i2d() operate on the extensions
of CRL I<crl>. They are otherwise identical to X509V3_get_d2i() and
X509V3_add1_i2d().

X509_REVOKED_get_ext_d2i() and X509_REVOKED_add1_ext_i2d() operate on the
extensions of B<X509_REVOKED> structure I<r> (i.e for CRL entry extensions).
They are otherwise identical to X509V3_get_d2i() and X509V3_add1_i2d().

X509_get0_extensions(), X509_CRL_get0_extensions() and
X509_REVOKED_get0_extensions() return a STACK of all the extensions
of a certificate, a CRL or a CRL entry respectively.

=head1 NOTES

In almost all cases an extension can occur at most once and multiple
occurrences is an error. Therefore, the I<idx> parameter is usually NULL.

The I<flags> parameter may be one of the following values.

B<X509V3_ADD_DEFAULT> appends a new extension only if the extension does
not exist. An error is returned if the extension exists.

B<X509V3_ADD_APPEND> appends a new extension, ignoring whether the extension
exists.

B<X509V3_ADD_REPLACE> replaces an existing extension. If the extension does
not exist, appends a new extension.

B<X509V3_ADD_REPLACE_EXISTING> replaces an existing extension. If the
extension does not exist, returns an error.

B<X509V3_ADD_KEEP_EXISTING> appends a new extension only if the extension does
not exist. An error is B<not> returned if the extension exists.

B<X509V3_ADD_DELETE> deletes and frees an existing extension. If the extension
does not exist, returns an error. No new extension is added.

If B<X509V3_ADD_SILENT> is bitwise ORed with I<flags>: any error returned
will not be added to the error queue.

The function X509V3_get_d2i() and its variants
will return NULL if the extension is not
found, occurs multiple times or cannot be decoded. It is possible to
determine the precise reason by checking the value of I<*crit>.
The returned pointer must be explicitly freed.

The function X509V3_add1_i2d() and its variants allocate B<X509_EXTENSION>
objects on STACK I<*x> depending on I<flags>. The B<X509_EXTENSION> objects
must be explicitly freed using X509_EXTENSION_free().

=head1 RETURN VALUES

X509V3_get_d2i(), its variants, and X509V3_EXT_d2i() return
a pointer to an extension specific structure or NULL if an error occurs.

X509V3_add1_i2d() and its variants return 1 if the operation is successful
and 0 if it fails due to a non-fatal error (extension not found, already exists,
cannot be encoded) or -1 due to a fatal error such as a memory allocation
failure.

X509V3_EXT_i2d() returns a pointer to an B<X509_EXTENSION> structure
or NULL if an error occurs.

X509_get0_extensions(), X509_CRL_get0_extensions() and
X509_REVOKED_get0_extensions() return a stack of extensions. They return
NULL if no extensions are present.
