# DESCRIPTION

X509_EXTENSION_set_object() sets the extension type of ex to obj. The obj pointer is duplicated internally so obj should be freed up after use.

X509_EXTENSION_set_critical() sets the criticality of ex to crit. If crit is zero the extension in non-critical otherwise it is critical.

X509_EXTENSION_set_data() sets the data in extension ex to data. The data pointer is duplicated internally.

X509_EXTENSION_create_by_NID() creates an extension of type nid, criticality crit using data data. The created extension is returned and written to *ex reusing or allocating a new extension if necessary so *ex should either be NULL or a valid X509_EXTENSION structure it must not be an uninitialised pointer.

X509_EXTENSION_create_by_OBJ() is identical to X509_EXTENSION_create_by_NID() except it creates and extension using obj instead of a NID.

X509_EXTENSION_get_object() returns the extension type of ex as an ASN1_OBJECT pointer. The returned pointer is an internal value which must not be freed up.

X509_EXTENSION_get_critical() returns the criticality of extension ex it returns 1 for critical and 0 for non-critical.

X509_EXTENSION_get_data() returns the data of extension ex. The returned pointer is an internal value which must not be freed up.

# NOTES

These functions manipulate the contents of an extension directly. Most applications will want to parse or encode and add an extension: they should use the extension encode and decode functions instead such as X509_add1_ext_i2d() and X509_get_ext_d2i().

The data associated with an extension is the extension encoding in an ASN1_OCTET_STRING structure.

# RETURN VALUES

X509_EXTENSION_set_object() X509_EXTENSION_set_critical() and X509_EXTENSION_set_data() return 1 for success and 0 for failure.

X509_EXTENSION_create_by_NID() and X509_EXTENSION_create_by_OBJ() return an X509_EXTENSION pointer or NULL if an error occurs.

X509_EXTENSION_get_object() returns an ASN1_OBJECT pointer.

X509_EXTENSION_get_critical() returns 0 for non-critical and 1 for critical.

X509_EXTENSION_get_data() returns an ASN1_OCTET_STRING pointer.
