DESCRIPTION
X509_CINF_new()
allocates and initializes an empty X509_CINF object,
representing an ASN.1 TBSCertificate structure defined
in RFC 5280 section 4.1. It is used inside the X509
object and holds the main information contained in the X.509 certificate
including subject, public key, issuer, serial number, validity period, and
extensions.
X509_CINF_free()
frees inf.
X509_VAL_new()
allocates and initializes an empty X509_VAL object,
representing an ASN.1 Validity structure defined in
RFC 5280 section 4.1. It is used inside the X509_CINF
object and holds the validity period of the certificate.
X509_VAL_free()
frees val.
X509_CERT_AUX_new()
allocates and initializes an empty X509_CERT_AUX
structure. It can be used inside an X509 object to
hold optional non-standard auxiliary data appended to a certificate, for
example friendly alias names and trust data.
X509_CERT_AUX_free()
frees aux.
RETURN VALUES
X509_CINF_new(),
X509_VAL_new(), and
X509_CERT_AUX_new() return the new
X509_CINF, X509_VAL, or
X509_CERT_AUX object, respectively, or
NULL if an error occurs.
