NAME

       d2i_X509_REQ, i2d_X509_REQ, d2i_X509_REQ_bio, d2i_X509_REQ_fp, i2d_X509_REQ_bio, i2d_X509_REQ_fp - PKCS#10 certificate request functions.

SYNOPSIS

	#include <openssl/x509.h>

	X509_REQ *d2i_X509_REQ(X509_REQ **a, unsigned char **pp, long length);
	int i2d_X509_REQ(X509_REQ *a, unsigned char **pp);

	X509_REQ *d2i_X509_REQ_bio(BIO *bp, X509_REQ **x);
	X509_REQ *d2i_X509_REQ_fp(FILE *fp, X509_REQ **x);

	int i2d_X509_REQ_bio(X509_REQ *x, BIO *bp);
	int i2d_X509_REQ_fp(X509_REQ *x, FILE *fp);

DESCRIPTION

       These functions decode and encode a PKCS#10 certificate request.

       Othewise these behave in a similar way to d2i_X509() and i2d_X509() described in the d2i_X509(3) manual page.

NAME

       x509 - X.509 certificate handling

SYNOPSIS

	#include <openssl/x509.h>

DESCRIPTION

       A X.509 certificate is a structured grouping of information about an individual, a device, or anything one can imagine.	A X.509 CRL
       (certificate revocation list) is a tool to help determine if a certificate is still valid.  The exact definition of those can be found in
       the X.509 document from ITU-T, or in RFC3280 from PKIX.	In OpenSSL, the type X509 is used to express such a certificate, and the type
       X509_CRL is used to express a CRL.

       A related structure is a certificate request, defined in PKCS#10 from RSA Security, Inc, also reflected in RFC2896.  In OpenSSL, the type
       X509_REQ is used to express such a certificate request.

       To handle some complex parts of a certificate, there are the types X509_NAME (to express a certificate name), X509_ATTRIBUTE (to express a
       certificate attributes), X509_EXTENSION (to express a certificate extension) and a few more.

       Finally, there's the supertype X509_INFO, which can contain a CRL, a certificate and a corresponding private key.

       X509_..., d2i_X509_... and i2d_X509_... handle X.509 certificates, with some exceptions, shown below.

       X509_CRL_..., d2i_X509_CRL_... and i2d_X509_CRL_...  handle X.509 CRLs.

       X509_REQ_..., d2i_X509_REQ_... and i2d_X509_REQ_...  handle PKCS#10 certificate requests.

       X509_NAME_... handle certificate names.

       X509_ATTRIBUTE_... handle certificate attributes.

       X509_EXTENSION_... handle certificate extensions.
