.. 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'.

For nroff, turn off justification. Always turn off hyphenation; it makes
way too many mistakes in technical documents.
"NAME"
X509_get_pubkey, X509_get0_pubkey, X509_set_pubkey, X509_get_X509_PUBKEY, X509_REQ_get_pubkey, X509_REQ_get0_pubkey, X509_REQ_set_pubkey, X509_REQ_get_X509_PUBKEY - get or set certificate or certificate request public key
"SYNOPSIS"
Header "SYNOPSIS" .Vb 1 #include <openssl/x509.h> \& EVP_PKEY *X509_get_pubkey(X509 *x); EVP_PKEY *X509_get0_pubkey(const X509 *x); int X509_set_pubkey(X509 *x, EVP_PKEY *pkey); X509_PUBKEY *X509_get_X509_PUBKEY(const X509 *x); \& EVP_PKEY *X509_REQ_get_pubkey(X509_REQ *req); EVP_PKEY *X509_REQ_get0_pubkey(X509_REQ *req); int X509_REQ_set_pubkey(X509_REQ *x, EVP_PKEY *pkey); X509_PUBKEY *X509_REQ_get_X509_PUBKEY(X509_REQ *x); .Ve
"DESCRIPTION"
Header "DESCRIPTION" \fBX509_get_pubkey() attempts to decode the public key for certificate x. If successful it returns the public key as an \s-1EVP_PKEY\s0 pointer with its reference count incremented: this means the returned key must be freed up after use. X509_get0_pubkey() is similar except it does not increment the reference count of the returned \s-1EVP_PKEY\s0 so it must not be freed up after use.

\fBX509_get_X509_PUBKEY() returns an internal pointer to the X509_PUBKEY structure which encodes the certificate of x. The returned value must not be freed up after use.

\fBX509_set_pubkey() attempts to set the public key for certificate x to \fBpkey. The key pkey should be freed up after use.

\fBX509_REQ_get_pubkey(), X509_REQ_get0_pubkey(), X509_REQ_set_pubkey() and \fBX509_REQ_get_X509_PUBKEY() are similar but operate on certificate request req.

"NOTES"
Header "NOTES" The first time a public key is decoded the \s-1EVP_PKEY\s0 structure is cached in the certificate or certificate request itself. Subsequent calls return the cached structure with its reference count incremented to improve performance.
"RETURN VALUES"
Header "RETURN VALUES" \fBX509_get_pubkey(), X509_get0_pubkey(), X509_get_X509_PUBKEY(), \fBX509_REQ_get_pubkey() and X509_REQ_get_X509_PUBKEY() return a public key or \fB\s-1NULL\s0 if an error occurred.

\fBX509_set_pubkey() and X509_REQ_set_pubkey() return 1 for success and 0 for failure.
