28=head1 DESCRIPTION
29
30X509_EXTENSION_set_object() sets the extension type of B<ex> to B<obj>. The
31B<obj> pointer is duplicated internally so B<obj> should be freed up after use.
32
33X509_EXTENSION_set_critical() sets the criticality of B<ex> to B<crit>. If
34B<crit> is zero the extension in non-critical otherwise it is critical.
35
36X509_EXTENSION_set_data() sets the data in extension B<ex> to B<data>. The
37B<data> pointer is duplicated internally.
38
39X509_EXTENSION_create_by_NID() creates an extension of type B<nid>,
40criticality B<crit> using data B<data>. The created extension is returned and
41written to B<*ex> reusing or allocating a new extension if necessary so B<*ex>
42should either be B<NULL> or a valid B<X509_EXTENSION> structure it must
43B<not> be an uninitialised pointer.
44
45X509_EXTENSION_create_by_OBJ() is identical to X509_EXTENSION_create_by_NID()
46except it creates and extension using B<obj> instead of a NID.
47
48X509_EXTENSION_get_object() returns the extension type of B<ex> as an
49B<ASN1_OBJECT> pointer. The returned pointer is an internal value which must
50not be freed up.
51
52X509_EXTENSION_get_critical() returns the criticality of extension B<ex> it
53returns B<1> for critical and B<0> for non-critical.
54
55X509_EXTENSION_get_data() returns the data of extension B<ex>. The returned
56pointer is an internal value which must not be freed up.
57
58=head1 NOTES
59
60These functions manipulate the contents of an extension directly. Most
61applications will want to parse or encode and add an extension: they should
62use the extension encode and decode functions instead such as
63X509_add1_ext_i2d() and X509_get_ext_d2i().
64
65The B<data> associated with an extension is the extension encoding in an
66B<ASN1_OCTET_STRING> structure.
67
68=head1 RETURN VALUES
69
70X509_EXTENSION_set_object() X509_EXTENSION_set_critical() and
71X509_EXTENSION_set_data() return B<1> for success and B<0> for failure.
72
73X509_EXTENSION_create_by_NID() and X509_EXTENSION_create_by_OBJ() return
74an B<X509_EXTENSION> pointer or B<NULL> if an error occurs.
75
76X509_EXTENSION_get_object() returns an B<ASN1_OBJECT> pointer.
77
78X509_EXTENSION_get_critical() returns B<0> for non-critical and B<1> for
79critical.
80
81X509_EXTENSION_get_data() returns an B<ASN1_OCTET_STRING> pointer.
