132.Sh DESCRIPTION
133.Fn X509_EXTENSION_new
134allocates and initializes an empty
135.Vt X509_EXTENSION
136object, representing an ASN.1
137.Vt Extension
138structure defined in RFC 5280 section 4.1.
139It is a wrapper object around specific extension objects of different
140types and stores an extension type identifier and a criticality
141flag in addition to the DER-encoded form of the wrapped object.
142.Vt X509_EXTENSION
143objects can be used for X.509 v3 certificates inside
144.Vt X509_CINF
145objects and for X.509 v2 certificate revocation lists inside
146.Vt X509_CRL_INFO
147and
148.Vt X509_REVOKED
149objects.
150.Pp
151.Fn X509_EXTENSION_free
152frees
153.Fa ex
154and all objects it is using.
155.Pp
156.Fn X509_EXTENSION_create_by_NID
157creates an extension of type
158.Fa nid
159and criticality
160.Fa crit
161using data
162.Fa data .
163The created extension is returned and written to
164.Pf * Fa ex
165reusing or allocating a new extension if necessary, so
166.Pf * Fa ex
167should either be
168.Dv NULL
169or a valid
170.Vt X509_EXTENSION
171structure.
172It must not be an uninitialised pointer.
173.Pp
174.Fn X509_EXTENSION_create_by_OBJ
175is identical to
176.Fn X509_EXTENSION_create_by_NID
177except that it creates an extension using
178.Fa obj
179instead of a NID.
180.Pp
181.Fn X509_EXTENSION_set_object
182sets the extension type of
183.Fa ex
184to
185.Fa obj .
186The
187.Fa obj
188pointer is duplicated internally so
189.Fa obj
190should be freed up after use.
191.Pp
192.Fn X509_EXTENSION_set_critical
193sets the criticality of
194.Fa ex
195to
196.Fa crit .
197If
198.Fa crit
199is zero, the extension in non-critical, otherwise it is critical.
200.Pp
201.Fn X509_EXTENSION_set_data
202sets the data in extension
203.Fa ex
204to
205.Fa data .
206The
207.Fa data
208pointer is duplicated internally.
209.Pp
210.Fn X509_EXTENSION_get_object
211returns the extension type of
212.Fa ex
213as an
214.Vt ASN1_OBJECT
215pointer.
216The returned pointer is an internal value which must not be freed up.
217.Pp
218.Fn X509_EXTENSION_get_critical
219returns the criticality of extension
220.Fa ex
221it returns 1 for critical and 0 for non-critical.
222.Pp
223.Fn X509_EXTENSION_get_data
224returns the data of extension
225.Fa ex .
226The returned pointer is an internal value which must not be freed up.
227.Pp
228These functions manipulate the contents of an extension directly.
229Most applications will want to parse or encode and add an extension:
230they should use the extension encode and decode functions instead
231such as
232.Xr X509_add1_ext_i2d 3
233and
234.Xr X509_get_ext_d2i 3 .
235.Pp
236The
237.Fa data
238associated with an extension is the extension encoding in an
239.Vt ASN1_OCTET_STRING
240structure.

253.Fn X509_EXTENSION_set_critical ,
254and
255.Fn X509_EXTENSION_set_data

257.Pp
258.Fn X509_EXTENSION_get_object
259returns an
260.Vt ASN1_OBJECT
261pointer.
262.Pp
263.Fn X509_EXTENSION_get_critical
264returns 0 for non-critical or 1 for critical.

266.Fn X509_EXTENSION_get_data
267returns an
268.Vt ASN1_OCTET_STRING
269pointer.
