128.Fn X509_get0_signature ,
129.Fn X509_REQ_get0_signature ,
130and
131.Fn X509_CRL_get0_signature
132set
133.Pf * Fa psig
134to the signature and
135.Pf * Fa palg
136to the signature algorithm of
137.Fa x ,
138.Fa req ,
139or
140.Fa crl ,
141respectively.
142.Fn X509_get0_tbs_sigalg
143and
144.Fn X509_CRL_get0_tbs_sigalg
145return the signature algorithm in the signed portion of
146.Fa x
147or
148.Fa crl ,
149respectively.
150The values returned are internal pointers
151that must not be freed by the caller.
152.Pp
153.Fn X509_get_signature_type
154returns the base NID corresponding to the signature algorithm of
155.Fa x
156just like
157.Xr EVP_PKEY_base_id 3
158does.
159.Pp
160.Fn X509_get_signature_nid ,
161.Fn X509_REQ_get_signature_nid ,
162and
163.Fn X509_CRL_get_signature_nid
164return the NID corresponding to the signature algorithm of
165.Fa x ,
166.Fa req ,
167or
168.Fa crl ,
169respectively, just like
170.Xr EVP_PKEY_id 3
171does.
172.Pp
173These functions provide lower level access to the signature
174for cases where an application wishes to analyse or generate a
175signature in a form where
176.Xr X509_sign 3
177is not appropriate, for example in a non-standard or unsupported format.
