DESCRIPTION
X509_ALGOR_new()
allocates and initializes an empty X509_ALGOR object,
representing an ASN.1 AlgorithmIdentifier structure
defined in RFC 5280 section 4.1.1.2. Such objects can specify a
cryptographic algorithm together with algorithm-specific parameters. They
are used by many other objects, for example certificates, certificate
revocation lists, and certificate requests.
X509_ALGOR_free()
frees alg.
X509_ALGOR_dup()
copies alg by calling
i2d_X509_ALGOR(3) and
d2i_X509_ALGOR(3).
X509_ALGOR_set0()
sets the algorithm OID of alg to
aobj and the associated parameter type to
ptype with value pval. If
ptype is V_ASN1_UNDEF the
parameter is omitted, otherwise ptype and
pval have the same meaning as the
type and value parameters to
ASN1_TYPE_set(3). All the supplied parameters are used
internally so must
NOT be freed
after this call.
X509_ALGOR_get0()
is the inverse of X509_ALGOR_set0(): it returns the
algorithm OID in *paobj and the associated parameter
in *pptype and *ppval from
alg.
X509_ALGOR_set_md()
sets alg to appropriate values for the message digest
md.
X509_ALGOR_cmp()
compares a and b.
RETURN VALUES
X509_ALGOR_new() and
X509_ALGOR_dup() return a new
X509_ALGOR object or NULL if
an error occurs.
X509_ALGOR_set0() returns 1 for success or
0 for failure.
X509_ALGOR_cmp() returns 0 if
a and b have identical encodings
or non-zero otherwise.
