12 #include <openssl/x509.h>
13
14 X509_NAME *X509_get_subject_name(const X509 *x);
15 int X509_set_subject_name(X509 *x, X509_NAME *name);
16
17 X509_NAME *X509_get_issuer_name(const X509 *x);
18 int X509_set_issuer_name(X509 *x, X509_NAME *name);
19
20 X509_NAME *X509_REQ_get_subject_name(const X509_REQ *req);
21 int X509_REQ_set_subject_name(X509_REQ *req, X509_NAME *name);
22
23 X509_NAME *X509_CRL_get_issuer(const X509_CRL *crl);
24 int X509_CRL_set_issuer_name(X509_CRL *x, X509_NAME *name);
25
26=head1 DESCRIPTION
27
28X509_get_subject_name() returns the subject name of certificate B<x>. The
29returned value is an internal pointer which B<MUST NOT> be freed.
30
31X509_set_subject_name() sets the issuer name of certificate B<x> to
32B<name>. The B<name> parameter is copied internally and should be freed
33up when it is no longer needed.
34
35X509_get_issuer_name() and X509_set_issuer_name() are identical to
36X509_get_subject_name() and X509_set_subject_name() except the get and
37set the issuer name of B<x>.
38
39Similarly X509_REQ_get_subject_name(), X509_REQ_set_subject_name(),
40X509_CRL_get_issuer() and X509_CRL_set_issuer_name() get or set the subject
41or issuer names of certificate requests of CRLs respectively.
42
43=head1 RETURN VALUES
44
45X509_get_subject_name(), X509_get_issuer_name(), X509_REQ_get_subject_name()
46and X509_CRL_get_issuer() return an B<X509_NAME> pointer.
47
48X509_set_subject_name(), X509_set_issuer_name(), X509_REQ_set_subject_name()
49and X509_CRL_set_issuer_name() return 1 for success and 0 for failure.
