These functions decode and encode names that can be used in X.509 extensions. For details about the semantics, examples, caveats, and bugs, see ASN1_item_d2i(3).

() and () decode and encode an ASN.1 GeneralName structure defined in RFC 5280 section 4.2.1.6.

() and () decode and encode an ASN.1 GeneralNames structure defined in RFC 5280 section 4.2.1.6.

() and () decode and encode an ASN.1 EDIPartyName structure defined in RFC 5280 section 4.2.1.6.

() and () decode and encode an ASN.1 OtherName structure defined in RFC 5280 section 4.2.1.6.

d2i_GENERAL_NAME(), d2i_GENERAL_NAMES(), d2i_EDIPARTYNAME(), and d2i_OTHERNAME() return a GENERAL_NAME, GENERAL_NAMES, EDIPARTYNAME, or OTHERNAME object, respectively, or NULL if an error occurs.

i2d_GENERAL_NAME(), i2d_GENERAL_NAMES(), i2d_EDIPARTYNAME(), and i2d_OTHERNAME() return the number of bytes successfully encoded or a negative value if an error occurs.
