33=head1 DESCRIPTION
34
35X509_REQ_get_attr_by_OBJ() finds the location of the first matching object I<obj>
36in the I<req> attribute list. The search starts at the position after I<lastpos>.
37If the returned value is positive then it can be used on the next call to
38X509_REQ_get_attr_by_OBJ() as the value of I<lastpos> in order to iterate through
39the remaining attributes. I<lastpos> can be set to any negative value on the
40first call, in order to start searching from the start of the attribute list.
41
42X509_REQ_get_attr_by_NID() is similar to X509_REQ_get_attr_by_OBJ() except that
43it passes the numerical identifier (NID) I<nid> associated with the object.
44See <openssl/obj_mac.h> for a list of NID_*.
45
46X509_REQ_get_attr() returns the B<X509_ATTRIBUTE> object at index I<loc> in the
47I<req> attribute list. I<loc> should be in the range from 0 to
48X509_REQ_get_attr_count() - 1.
49
50X509_REQ_delete_attr() removes the B<X509_ATTRIBUTE> object at index I<loc> in
51the I<req> objects list of attributes. An error occurs if I<req> is NULL.
52
53X509_REQ_add1_attr() pushes a copy of the passed in B<X509_ATTRIBUTE> I<>attr>
54to the I<req> object's attribute list. An error will occur if either the
55attribute list is NULL or the attribute already exists.
56
57X509_REQ_add1_attr_by_OBJ() creates a new B<X509_ATTRIBUTE> using
58X509_ATTRIBUTE_set1_object() and X509_ATTRIBUTE_set1_data() to assign a new
59I<obj> with type I<type> and data I<bytes> of length I<len> and then pushes it
60to the I<req> object's attribute list. I<req> must be non NULL or an error
61will occur. If I<obj> already exists in the attribute list then an error occurs.
62
63X509_REQ_add1_attr_by_NID() is similar to X509_REQ_add1_attr_by_OBJ() except
64that it passes the numerical identifier (NID) I<nid> associated with the object.
65See <openssl/obj_mac.h> for a list of NID_*.
66
67X509_REQ_add1_attr_by_txt() is similar to X509_REQ_add1_attr_by_OBJ() except
68that it passes a name I<attrname> associated with the object.
69See <openssl/obj_mac.h> for a list of SN_* names.
70
71Refer to L<X509_ATTRIBUTE(3)> for information related to attributes.
72
73=head1 RETURN VALUES
74
75X509_REQ_get_attr_count() returns the number of attributes in the I<req> object
76attribute list or -1 if the attribute list is NULL.
77
78X509_REQ_get_attr_by_OBJ() returns -1 if either the I<req> object's attribute
79list is empty OR I<obj> is not found, otherwise it returns the location of the
80I<obj> in the attribute list.
81
82X509_REQ_get_attr_by_NID() is similar to X509_REQ_get_attr_by_OBJ(), except that
83it returns -2 if the I<nid> is not known by OpenSSL.
84
85X509_REQ_get_attr() returns either an B<X509_ATTRIBUTE> or NULL on error.
86
87X509_REQ_delete_attr() returns either the removed B<X509_ATTRIBUTE> or NULL if
88there is a error.
89
90X509_REQ_add1_attr(), X509_REQ_add1_attr_by_OBJ(), X509_REQ_add1_attr_by_NID()
91and X509_REQ_add1_attr_by_txt() return 1 on success or 0 on error.
92
93=head1 NOTES
94
95Any functions that modify the attributes (add or delete) internally set a flag
96to indicate the ASN.1 encoding has been modified.
