62=head1 DESCRIPTION
63
64X509v3_get_ext_count() retrieves the number of extensions in I<x>.
65
66X509v3_get_ext() retrieves extension I<loc> from I<x>. The index I<loc>
67can take any value from 0 to X509_get_ext_count(I<x>) - 1. The returned
68extension is an internal pointer which B<MUST NOT> be freed by the
69application.
70
71X509v3_get_ext_by_NID() and X509v3_get_ext_by_OBJ() look for an extension
72with I<nid> or I<obj> from extension STACK I<x>. The search starts from the
73extension after I<lastpos> or from the beginning if I<lastpos> is -1. If
74the extension is found, its index is returned, otherwise -1 is returned.
75
76X509v3_get_ext_by_critical() is similar to X509v3_get_ext_by_NID() except it
77looks for an extension of criticality I<crit>. A zero value for I<crit>
78looks for a non-critical extension. A nonzero value looks for a critical
79extension.
80
81X509v3_delete_ext() deletes the extension with index I<loc> from I<x>.
82The deleted extension is returned and must be freed by the caller.
83If I<loc> is an invalid index value, NULL is returned.
84
85X509v3_add_ext() inserts extension I<ex> to STACK I<*x> at position I<loc>.
86If I<loc> is -1, the new extension is added to the end.
87A new STACK is allocated if I<*x> is NULL.
88The passed extension I<ex> is duplicated so it must be freed after use.
89
90X509v3_add_extensions() adds the list of extensions I<exts> to STACK I<*target>.
91The STACK I<*target> is returned unchanged if I<exts> is NULL or an empty list.
92Otherwise a new stack is allocated if I<*target> is NULL.
93An extension to be added
94that has the same OID as a pre-existing one replaces this earlier one.
95
96X509_get_ext_count(), X509_get_ext(), X509_get_ext_by_NID(),
97X509_get_ext_by_OBJ(), X509_get_ext_by_critical(), X509_delete_ext()
98and X509_add_ext() operate on the extensions of certificate I<x>. They are
99otherwise identical to the X509v3 functions.
100
101X509_CRL_get_ext_count(), X509_CRL_get_ext(), X509_CRL_get_ext_by_NID(),
102X509_CRL_get_ext_by_OBJ(), X509_CRL_get_ext_by_critical(),
103X509_CRL_delete_ext() and X509_CRL_add_ext() operate on the extensions of
104CRL I<x>. They are otherwise identical to the X509v3 functions.
105
106X509_REVOKED_get_ext_count(), X509_REVOKED_get_ext(),
107X509_REVOKED_get_ext_by_NID(), X509_REVOKED_get_ext_by_OBJ(),
108X509_REVOKED_get_ext_by_critical(), X509_REVOKED_delete_ext() and
109X509_REVOKED_add_ext() operate on the extensions of CRL entry I<x>.
110They are otherwise identical to the X509v3 functions.
111
112=head1 NOTES
113
114These functions are used to examine stacks of extensions directly.
115Applications that want to parse or encode and add an extension should
116use the extension encode and decode functions instead, such as
117X509_add1_ext_i2d() and X509_get_ext_d2i().
118
119For X509v3_get_ext_by_NID(), X509v3_get_ext_by_OBJ(),
120X509v3_get_ext_by_critical() and its variants, a zero index return value
121is not an error since extension STACK I<x> indices start from zero.
122These search functions start from the extension B<after> the I<lastpos> parameter
123so it should initially be set to -1. If it is set to zero, the initial extension
124will not be checked.
125
126X509v3_delete_ext() and its variants are a bit counter-intuitive
127because these functions do not free the extension they delete.
128They return an B<X509_EXTENSION> object which must be explicitly freed
129using X509_EXTENSION_free().
130
131=head1 RETURN VALUES
132
133X509v3_get_ext_count() returns the extension count or 0 for failure.
134
135X509v3_get_ext(), X509v3_delete_ext() and X509_delete_ext() return an
136B<X509_EXTENSION> structure or NULL if an error occurs.
137
138X509v3_get_ext_by_OBJ() and X509v3_get_ext_by_critical() return
139the extension index or -1 if an error occurs.
140
141X509v3_get_ext_by_NID() returns the extension index or negative values if an
142error occurs.
143
144X509v3_add_ext() and X509v3_add_extensions()
145return a STACK of extensions or NULL on error.
146
147X509_add_ext() returns 1 on success and 0 on error.
