46=head1 DESCRIPTION
47
48X509V3_get_d2i() looks for an extension with OID I<nid> in the extensions
49I<x> and, if found, decodes it. If I<idx> is NULL then only one
50occurrence of an extension is permissible, otherwise the first extension after
51index I<*idx> is returned and I<*idx> updated to the location of the extension.
52If I<crit> is not NULL then I<*crit> is set to a status value: -2 if the
53extension occurs multiple times (this is only returned if I<idx> is NULL),
54-1 if the extension could not be found, 0 if the extension is found and is
55not critical and 1 if critical. A pointer to an extension specific structure
56or NULL is returned.
57
58X509V3_add1_i2d() adds extension I<value> to STACK I<*x> (allocating a new
59STACK if necessary) using OID I<nid> and criticality I<crit> according
60to I<flags>.
61
62X509V3_EXT_d2i() attempts to decode the ASN.1 data contained in extension
63I<ext> and returns a pointer to an extension specific structure or NULL
64if the extension could not be decoded (invalid syntax or not supported).
65
66X509V3_EXT_i2d() encodes the extension specific structure I<ext_struc>
67with OID I<ext_nid> and criticality I<crit>.
68
69X509_get_ext_d2i() and X509_add1_ext_i2d() operate on the extensions of
70certificate I<x>. They are otherwise identical to X509V3_get_d2i() and
71X509V3_add1_i2d().
72
73X509_ACERT_get_ext_d2i() and X509_ACERT_add1_ext_i2d() operate on the extensions
74of B<X509_ACERT> structure I<x>. They are otherwise identical to X509V3_get_d2i()
75and X509V3_add1_i2d().
76
77X509_CRL_get_ext_d2i() and X509_CRL_add1_ext_i2d() operate on the extensions
78of CRL I<crl>. They are otherwise identical to X509V3_get_d2i() and
79X509V3_add1_i2d().
80
81X509_REVOKED_get_ext_d2i() and X509_REVOKED_add1_ext_i2d() operate on the
82extensions of B<X509_REVOKED> structure I<r> (i.e for CRL entry extensions).
83They are otherwise identical to X509V3_get_d2i() and X509V3_add1_i2d().
84
85X509_get0_extensions(), X509_ACERT_get0_extensions(),
86X509_CRL_get0_extensions() and X509_REVOKED_get0_extensions() return a
87STACK of all the extensions of a certificate, an attribute certificate,
88a CRL or a CRL entry respectively.
89
90=head1 NOTES
91
92In almost all cases an extension can occur at most once and multiple
93occurrences is an error. Therefore, the I<idx> parameter is usually NULL.
94
95The I<flags> parameter may be one of the following values.
96
97B<X509V3_ADD_DEFAULT> appends a new extension only if the extension does
98not exist. An error is returned if the extension exists.
99
100B<X509V3_ADD_APPEND> appends a new extension, ignoring whether the extension
101exists.
102
103B<X509V3_ADD_REPLACE> replaces an existing extension. If the extension does
104not exist, appends a new extension.
105
106B<X509V3_ADD_REPLACE_EXISTING> replaces an existing extension. If the
107extension does not exist, returns an error.
108
109B<X509V3_ADD_KEEP_EXISTING> appends a new extension only if the extension does
110not exist. An error is B<not> returned if the extension exists.
111
112B<X509V3_ADD_DELETE> deletes and frees an existing extension. If the extension
113does not exist, returns an error. No new extension is added.
114
115If B<X509V3_ADD_SILENT> is bitwise ORed with I<flags>: any error returned
116will not be added to the error queue.
117
118The function X509V3_get_d2i() and its variants
119will return NULL if the extension is not
120found, occurs multiple times or cannot be decoded. It is possible to
121determine the precise reason by checking the value of I<*crit>.
122
123The function X509V3_add1_i2d() and its variants allocate B<X509_EXTENSION>
124objects on STACK I<*x> depending on I<flags>. The B<X509_EXTENSION> objects
125must be explicitly freed using X509_EXTENSION_free().

218and 0 if it fails due to a non-fatal error (extension not found, already exists,
219cannot be encoded) or -1 due to a fatal error such as a memory allocation
220failure.
