22=head1 DESCRIPTION
23
24X509_ALGOR_dup() returns a copy of I<alg>.
25
26X509_ALGOR_set0() sets the algorithm OID of I<alg> to I<aobj> and the
27associated parameter type to I<ptype> with value I<pval>. If I<ptype> is
28B<V_ASN1_UNDEF> the parameter is omitted, otherwise I<ptype> and I<pval> have
29the same meaning as the I<type> and I<value> parameters to ASN1_TYPE_set().
30All the supplied parameters are used internally so must B<NOT> be freed after
31this call succeeded;
32otherwise ownership remains with the caller and I<alg> remains untouched.
33
34X509_ALGOR_get0() is the inverse of X509_ALGOR_set0(): it returns the
35algorithm OID in I<*paobj> and the associated parameter in I<*pptype>
36and I<*ppval> from the B<AlgorithmIdentifier> I<alg>.
37
38X509_ALGOR_set_md() sets the B<AlgorithmIdentifier> I<alg> to appropriate
39values for the message digest I<md>.
40
41X509_ALGOR_cmp() compares I<a> and I<b> and returns 0 if they have identical
42encodings and nonzero otherwise.
43
44X509_ALGOR_copy() copies the source values into the dest structs; making
45a duplicate of each (and free any thing pointed to from within *dest).
46
47=head1 RETURN VALUES
48
49X509_ALGOR_dup() returns a valid B<X509_ALGOR> structure or NULL if an error
50occurred.
51
52X509_ALGOR_set0() and X509_ALGOR_copy() return 1 on success or 0 on error.
53
54X509_ALGOR_get0() and X509_ALGOR_set_md() return no values.
55
56X509_ALGOR_cmp() returns 0 if the two parameters have identical encodings and
57nonzero otherwise.
