40=head1 DESCRIPTION
41
42X509V3_get_d2i() looks for an extension with OID I<nid> in the extensions
43I<x> and, if found, decodes it. If I<idx> is NULL then only one
44occurrence of an extension is permissible, otherwise the first extension after
45index I<*idx> is returned and I<*idx> updated to the location of the extension.
46If I<crit> is not NULL then I<*crit> is set to a status value: -2 if the
47extension occurs multiple times (this is only returned if I<idx> is NULL),
48-1 if the extension could not be found, 0 if the extension is found and is
49not critical and 1 if critical. A pointer to an extension specific structure
50or NULL is returned.
51
52X509V3_add1_i2d() adds extension I<value> to STACK I<*x> (allocating a new
53STACK if necessary) using OID I<nid> and criticality I<crit> according
54to I<flags>.
55
56X509V3_EXT_d2i() attempts to decode the ASN.1 data contained in extension
57I<ext> and returns a pointer to an extension specific structure or NULL
58if the extension could not be decoded (invalid syntax or not supported).
59
60X509V3_EXT_i2d() encodes the extension specific structure I<ext_struc>
61with OID I<ext_nid> and criticality I<crit>.
62
63X509_get_ext_d2i() and X509_add1_ext_i2d() operate on the extensions of
64certificate I<x>. They are otherwise identical to X509V3_get_d2i() and
65X509V3_add1_i2d().
66
67X509_CRL_get_ext_d2i() and X509_CRL_add1_ext_i2d() operate on the extensions
68of CRL I<crl>. They are otherwise identical to X509V3_get_d2i() and
69X509V3_add1_i2d().
70
71X509_REVOKED_get_ext_d2i() and X509_REVOKED_add1_ext_i2d() operate on the
72extensions of B<X509_REVOKED> structure I<r> (i.e for CRL entry extensions).
73They are otherwise identical to X509V3_get_d2i() and X509V3_add1_i2d().
74
75X509_get0_extensions(), X509_CRL_get0_extensions() and
76X509_REVOKED_get0_extensions() return a STACK of all the extensions
77of a certificate, a CRL or a CRL entry respectively.
78
79=head1 NOTES
80
81In almost all cases an extension can occur at most once and multiple
82occurrences is an error. Therefore, the I<idx> parameter is usually NULL.
83
84The I<flags> parameter may be one of the following values.
85
86B<X509V3_ADD_DEFAULT> appends a new extension only if the extension does
87not exist. An error is returned if the extension exists.
88
89B<X509V3_ADD_APPEND> appends a new extension, ignoring whether the extension
90exists.
91
92B<X509V3_ADD_REPLACE> replaces an existing extension. If the extension does
93not exist, appends a new extension.
94
95B<X509V3_ADD_REPLACE_EXISTING> replaces an existing extension. If the
96extension does not exist, returns an error.
97
98B<X509V3_ADD_KEEP_EXISTING> appends a new extension only if the extension does
99not exist. An error is B<not> returned if the extension exists.
100
101B<X509V3_ADD_DELETE> deletes and frees an existing extension. If the extension
102does not exist, returns an error. No new extension is added.
103
104If B<X509V3_ADD_SILENT> is bitwise ORed with I<flags>: any error returned
105will not be added to the error queue.
106
107The function X509V3_get_d2i() and its variants
108will return NULL if the extension is not
109found, occurs multiple times or cannot be decoded. It is possible to
110determine the precise reason by checking the value of I<*crit>.
111The returned pointer must be explicitly freed.
112
113The function X509V3_add1_i2d() and its variants allocate B<X509_EXTENSION>
114objects on STACK I<*x> depending on I<flags>. The B<X509_EXTENSION> objects
115must be explicitly freed using X509_EXTENSION_free().

209cannot be encoded) or -1 due to a fatal error such as a memory allocation
210failure.
