.. 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'.

"DESCRIPTION"
Header "DESCRIPTION" The X509_LOOKUP structure holds the information needed to look up certificates and CRLs according to an associated X509_LOOKUP_METHOD\|(3). Multiple X509_LOOKUP instances can be added to an X509_STORE\|(3) to enable lookup in that store.

\fBX509_LOOKUP_new() creates a new X509_LOOKUP using the given lookup \fImethod. It can also be created by calling X509_STORE_add_lookup\|(3), which will associate an X509_STORE with the lookup mechanism.

\fBX509_LOOKUP_init() initializes the internal state and resources as needed by the given X509_LOOKUP to do its work.

\fBX509_LOOKUP_shutdown() tears down the internal state and resources of the given X509_LOOKUP.

\fBX509_LOOKUP_free() destructs the given X509_LOOKUP.

\fBX509_LOOKUP_set_method_data() associates a pointer to application data to the given X509_LOOKUP.

\fBX509_LOOKUP_get_method_data() retrieves a pointer to application data from the given X509_LOOKUP.

\fBX509_LOOKUP_ctrl() is used to set or get additional data to or from an \fBX509_LOOKUP structure or its associated X509_LOOKUP_METHOD\|(3). The arguments of the control command are passed via argc and argl, its return value via *ret. The meaning of the arguments depends on the cmd number of the control command. In general, this function is not called directly, but wrapped by a macro call, see below. The control cmds known to OpenSSL are discussed in more depth in \*(L"Control Commands\*(R".

\fBX509_LOOKUP_load_file() passes a filename to be loaded immediately into the associated X509_STORE. \fItype indicates what type of object is expected. This can only be used with a lookup using the implementation \fBX509_LOOKUP_file\|(3).

\fBX509_LOOKUP_add_dir() passes a directory specification from which certificates and CRLs are loaded on demand into the associated \fBX509_STORE. \fItype indicates what type of object is expected. This can only be used with a lookup using the implementation \fBX509_LOOKUP_hash_dir\|(3).

\fBX509_LOOKUP_load_file(), X509_LOOKUP_add_dir(), \fBX509_LOOKUP_add_store(), and X509_LOOKUP_load_store() are implemented as macros that use X509_LOOKUP_ctrl().

\fBX509_LOOKUP_by_subject(), X509_LOOKUP_by_issuer_serial(), \fBX509_LOOKUP_by_fingerprint(), and X509_LOOKUP_by_alias() look up certificates and CRLs in the X509_STORE\|(3) associated with the \fBX509_LOOKUP using different criteria, where the looked up object is stored in ret. Some of the underlying X509_LOOKUP_METHODs will also cache objects matching the criteria in the associated X509_STORE, which makes it possible to handle cases where the criteria have more than one hit.

"File Types"
Subsection "File Types" \fBX509_LOOKUP_load_file() and X509_LOOKUP_add_dir() take a type, which can be one of the following:
"X509_FILETYPE_PEM" 4
Item "X509_FILETYPE_PEM" The file or files that are loaded are expected to be in \s-1PEM\s0 format.
"X509_FILETYPE_ASN1" 4
Item "X509_FILETYPE_ASN1" The file or files that are loaded are expected to be in raw \s-1DER\s0 format.
"X509_FILETYPE_DEFAULT" 4
Item "X509_FILETYPE_DEFAULT" The default certificate file or directory is used. In this case, \fIname is ignored.
"Control Commands"
Subsection "Control Commands" The X509_LOOKUP_METHODs built into OpenSSL recognise the following \fBX509_LOOKUP_ctrl() cmds:
"X509_L_FILE_LOAD" 4
Item "X509_L_FILE_LOAD" This is the command that X509_LOOKUP_load_file() uses. The filename is passed in argc, and the type in argl.
"X509_L_ADD_DIR" 4
Item "X509_L_ADD_DIR" This is the command that X509_LOOKUP_add_dir() uses. The directory specification is passed in argc, and the type in \fIargl.
"X509_L_ADD_STORE" 4
Item "X509_L_ADD_STORE" This is the command that X509_LOOKUP_add_store() uses. The \s-1URI\s0 is passed in argc.
"X509_L_LOAD_STORE" 4
Item "X509_L_LOAD_STORE" This is the command that X509_LOOKUP_load_store() uses. The \s-1URI\s0 is passed in argc.
"RETURN VALUES"
Header "RETURN VALUES" \fBX509_LOOKUP_new() returns an X509_LOOKUP pointer when successful, or \s-1NULL\s0 on error.

\fBX509_LOOKUP_init() and X509_LOOKUP_shutdown() return 1 on success, or 0 on error.

\fBX509_LOOKUP_ctrl() returns -1 if the X509_LOOKUP doesn't have an associated X509_LOOKUP_METHOD, or 1 if the doesn't have a control function. Otherwise, it returns what the control function in the \fBX509_LOOKUP_METHOD returns, which is usually 1 on success and 0 in error. Xref "509_LOOKUP_METHOD"

\fBX509_LOOKUP_get_store() returns an X509_STORE pointer if there is one, otherwise \s-1NULL.\s0

\fBX509_LOOKUP_by_subject(), X509_LOOKUP_by_issuer_serial(), \fBX509_LOOKUP_by_fingerprint(), and X509_LOOKUP_by_alias() all return 0 if there is no X509_LOOKUP_METHOD or that method doesn't implement the corresponding function. Otherwise, it returns what the corresponding function in the \fBX509_LOOKUP_METHOD returns, which is usually 1 on success and 0 in error.
