Title "X509v3_get_ext_by_NID 3"
way too many mistakes in technical documents.
\fBX509v3_get_ext() retrieves extension loc from x. The index loc can take any value from 0 to X509_get_ext_count(x) - 1. The returned extension is an internal pointer which MUST NOT be freed by the application.
\fBX509v3_get_ext_by_NID() and X509v3_get_ext_by_OBJ() look for an extension with nid or obj from extension STACK x. The search starts from the extension after lastpos or from the beginning if lastpos is -1. If the extension is found, its index is returned, otherwise -1 is returned.
\fBX509v3_get_ext_by_critical() is similar to X509v3_get_ext_by_NID() except it looks for an extension of criticality crit. A zero value for crit looks for a non-critical extension. A nonzero value looks for a critical extension.
\fBX509v3_delete_ext() deletes the extension with index loc from x. The deleted extension is returned and must be freed by the caller. If loc is an invalid index value, NULL is returned.
\fBX509v3_add_ext() adds extension ex to STACK *x at position loc. If \fIloc is -1, the new extension is added to the end. If *x is NULL, a new STACK will be allocated. The passed extension ex is duplicated internally so it must be freed after use.
\fBX509_get_ext_count(), X509_get_ext(), X509_get_ext_by_NID(), \fBX509_get_ext_by_OBJ(), X509_get_ext_by_critical(), X509_delete_ext() and X509_add_ext() operate on the extensions of certificate x. They are otherwise identical to the X509v3 functions.
\fBX509_CRL_get_ext_count(), X509_CRL_get_ext(), X509_CRL_get_ext_by_NID(), \fBX509_CRL_get_ext_by_OBJ(), X509_CRL_get_ext_by_critical(), \fBX509_CRL_delete_ext() and X509_CRL_add_ext() operate on the extensions of CRL x. They are otherwise identical to the X509v3 functions.
\fBX509_REVOKED_get_ext_count(), X509_REVOKED_get_ext(), \fBX509_REVOKED_get_ext_by_NID(), X509_REVOKED_get_ext_by_OBJ(), \fBX509_REVOKED_get_ext_by_critical(), X509_REVOKED_delete_ext() and \fBX509_REVOKED_add_ext() operate on the extensions of CRL entry x. They are otherwise identical to the X509v3 functions.
For X509v3_get_ext_by_NID(), X509v3_get_ext_by_OBJ(), \fBX509v3_get_ext_by_critical() and its variants, a zero index return value is not an error since extension STACK x indices start from zero. These search functions start from the extension after the lastpos parameter so it should initially be set to -1. If it is set to zero, the initial extension will not be checked.
\fBX509v3_delete_ext() and its variants are a bit counter-intuitive because these functions do not free the extension they delete. They return an X509_EXTENSION object which must be explicitly freed using X509_EXTENSION_free().
\fBX509v3_get_ext(), X509v3_delete_ext() and X509_delete_ext() return an \fBX509_EXTENSION structure or NULL if an error occurs.
\fBX509v3_get_ext_by_OBJ() and X509v3_get_ext_by_critical() return the extension index or -1 if an error occurs.
\fBX509v3_get_ext_by_NID() returns the extension index or negative values if an error occurs.
\fBX509v3_add_ext() returns a STACK of extensions or NULL on error.
\fBX509_add_ext() returns 1 on success and 0 on error.
