.. Set up some character translations and predefined strings. \*(-- will
give an unbreakable dash, \*(PI will give pi, \*(L" will give a left
double quote, and \*(R" will give a right double quote. \*(C+ will
give a nicer C++. Capital omega is used to do unbreakable dashes and
therefore won't be available. \*(C` and \*(C' expand to `' in nroff,
nothing in troff, for use with C<>.

Escape single quotes in literal strings from groff's Unicode transform.

If the F register is >0, we'll generate index entries on stderr for
titles (.TH), headers (.SH), subsections (.SS), items (.Ip), and index
entries marked with X<> in POD. Of course, you'll have to process the
output yourself in some meaningful fashion.

Avoid warning from groff about undefined register 'F'.

Title "NCONF_NEW_EX 3ossl" For nroff, turn off justification. Always turn off hyphenation; it makes
way too many mistakes in technical documents.
NCONF_new_ex, NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_default, NCONF_load, NCONF_get0_libctx, NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_section_names \- functionality to Load and parse configuration files manually Header "SYNOPSIS" .Vb 1 #include <openssl/conf.h> \& typedef struct { char *section; char *name; char *value; } CONF_VALUE; \& CONF *NCONF_new_ex(OSSL_LIB_CTX *libctx, CONF_METHOD *meth); CONF *NCONF_new(CONF_METHOD *meth); void NCONF_free(CONF *conf); CONF_METHOD *NCONF_default(void); int NCONF_load(CONF *conf, const char *file, long *eline); OSSL_LIB_CTX *NCONF_get0_libctx(const CONF *conf); \& STACK_OF(CONF_VALUE) *NCONF_get_section(const CONF *conf, const char *name); STACK_OF(OPENSSL_CSTRING) *NCONF_get_section_names(const CONF *conf); .Ve Header "DESCRIPTION" \fBNCONF_new_ex() creates a new \s-1CONF\s0 object in heap memory and assigns to it a context libctx that can be used during loading. If the method table \fImeth is set to \s-1NULL\s0 then the default value of NCONF_default() is used.

\fBNCONF_new() is similar to NCONF_new_ex() but sets the libctx to \s-1NULL.\s0

\fBNCONF_free() frees the data associated with conf and then frees the conf object.

\fBNCONF_load() parses the file named filename and adds the values found to \fIconf. If an error occurs file and eline list the file and line that the load failed on if they are not \s-1NULL.\s0

\fBNCONF_default() gets the default method table for processing a configuration file.

\fBNCONF_get0_libctx() gets the library context associated with the conf parameter.

\fBNCONF_get_section_names() gets the names of the sections associated with the conf as \s-1STACK_OF\s0(\s-1OPENSSL_CSTRING\s0) strings. The individual strings are associated with the conf and will be invalid after conf is freed. The returned stack must be freed with sk_OPENSSL_CSTRING_free().

\fBNCONF_get_section() gets the config values associated with the conf from the config section name as \s-1STACK_OF\s0(\s-1CONF_VALUE\s0) structures. The returned stack is associated with the conf and will be invalid after conf is freed. It must not be freed by the caller.

Header "RETURN VALUES" \fBNCONF_load() returns 1 on success or 0 on error.

\fBNCONF_new_ex() and NCONF_new() return a newly created \s-1CONF\s0 object or \s-1NULL\s0 if an error occurs.
