SYNOPSIS
#include
<openssl/x509.h>
X509_CRL *
X509_CRL_new(void);
void
X509_CRL_free(X509_CRL
*crl);
X509_CRL_INFO *
X509_CRL_INFO_new(void);
void
X509_CRL_INFO_free(X509_CRL_INFO
*crl_info);
DESCRIPTION
X509_CRL_new()
allocates and initializes an empty X509_CRL object,
representing an ASN.1 CertificateList structure
defined in RFC 5280 section 5.1. It can hold a pointer to an
X509_CRL_INFO object discussed below together with a
cryptographic signature and information about the signature algorithm used.
X509_CRL_free()
frees crl.
X509_CRL_INFO_new()
allocates and initializes an empty X509_CRL_INFO
object, representing an ASN.1 TBSCertList structure
defined in RFC 5280 section 5.1. It is used inside the
X509_CRL object and can hold a list of revoked
certificates, an issuer name, the time the list was issued, the time when
the next update of the list is due, and optional extensions.
X509_CRL_INFO_free()
frees crl_info.
RETURN VALUES
X509_CRL_new() and
X509_CRL_INFO_new() return the new
X509_CRL or X509_CRL_INFO
object, respectively, or NULL if an error
occurs.
