59=head1 DESCRIPTION
60
61X509v3_get_ext_count() retrieves the number of extensions in I<x>.
62
63X509v3_get_ext() retrieves extension I<loc> from I<x>. The index I<loc>
64can take any value from 0 to X509_get_ext_count(I<x>) - 1. The returned
65extension is an internal pointer which B<MUST NOT> be freed by the
66application.
67
68X509v3_get_ext_by_NID() and X509v3_get_ext_by_OBJ() look for an extension
69with I<nid> or I<obj> from extension STACK I<x>. The search starts from the
70extension after I<lastpos> or from the beginning if I<lastpos> is -1. If
71the extension is found, its index is returned, otherwise -1 is returned.
72
73X509v3_get_ext_by_critical() is similar to X509v3_get_ext_by_NID() except it
74looks for an extension of criticality I<crit>. A zero value for I<crit>
75looks for a non-critical extension. A nonzero value looks for a critical
76extension.
77
78X509v3_delete_ext() deletes the extension with index I<loc> from I<x>.
79The deleted extension is returned and must be freed by the caller.
80If I<loc> is an invalid index value, NULL is returned.
81
82X509v3_add_ext() adds extension I<ex> to STACK I<*x> at position I<loc>. If
83I<loc> is -1, the new extension is added to the end. If I<*x> is NULL,
84a new STACK will be allocated. The passed extension I<ex> is duplicated
85internally so it must be freed after use.
86
87X509_get_ext_count(), X509_get_ext(), X509_get_ext_by_NID(),
88X509_get_ext_by_OBJ(), X509_get_ext_by_critical(), X509_delete_ext()
89and X509_add_ext() operate on the extensions of certificate I<x>. They are
90otherwise identical to the X509v3 functions.
91
92X509_CRL_get_ext_count(), X509_CRL_get_ext(), X509_CRL_get_ext_by_NID(),
93X509_CRL_get_ext_by_OBJ(), X509_CRL_get_ext_by_critical(),
94X509_CRL_delete_ext() and X509_CRL_add_ext() operate on the extensions of
95CRL I<x>. They are otherwise identical to the X509v3 functions.
96
97X509_REVOKED_get_ext_count(), X509_REVOKED_get_ext(),
98X509_REVOKED_get_ext_by_NID(), X509_REVOKED_get_ext_by_OBJ(),
99X509_REVOKED_get_ext_by_critical(), X509_REVOKED_delete_ext() and
100X509_REVOKED_add_ext() operate on the extensions of CRL entry I<x>.
101They are otherwise identical to the X509v3 functions.
102
103=head1 NOTES
104
105These functions are used to examine stacks of extensions directly.
106Applications that want to parse or encode and add an extension should
107use the extension encode and decode functions instead, such as
108X509_add1_ext_i2d() and X509_get_ext_d2i().
109
110For X509v3_get_ext_by_NID(), X509v3_get_ext_by_OBJ(),
111X509v3_get_ext_by_critical() and its variants, a zero index return value
112is not an error since extension STACK I<x> indices start from zero.
113These search functions start from the extension B<after> the I<lastpos> parameter
114so it should initially be set to -1. If it is set to zero, the initial extension
115will not be checked.
116
117X509v3_delete_ext() and its variants are a bit counter-intuitive
118because these functions do not free the extension they delete.
119They return an B<X509_EXTENSION> object which must be explicitly freed
120using X509_EXTENSION_free().
121
122=head1 RETURN VALUES
123
124X509v3_get_ext_count() returns the extension count or 0 for failure.
125
126X509v3_get_ext(), X509v3_delete_ext() and X509_delete_ext() return an
127B<X509_EXTENSION> structure or NULL if an error occurs.
128
129X509v3_get_ext_by_OBJ() and X509v3_get_ext_by_critical() return
130the extension index or -1 if an error occurs.
131
132X509v3_get_ext_by_NID() returns the extension index or negative values if an
133error occurs.
134
135X509v3_add_ext() returns a STACK of extensions or NULL on error.
136
137X509_add_ext() returns 1 on success and 0 on error.
