These functions retrieve information from the attrs array of X.501 Attribute objects. They all fail if attrs is a NULL pointer.

() returns the array element at the zero-based index. It fails if the index is negative or greater than or equal to the number of objects in the array.

() returns the number of objects currently stored in the array.

The three remaining functions search the array starting after the index start_after. They fail if no matching object is found. () also fails if the data is not of the requested type.

Additionally, the start_after argument of () is interpreted in a special way. If start_after is -2 or smaller, X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ() also fails if attrs contains more than one matching object. If start_after is -3 or smaller, it also fails unless the matching object contains exactly one value.

X509at_get_attr() returns an internal pointer or NULL on failure.

X509at_get_attr_count() returns the number of array elements or -1 on failure.

X509at_get_attr_by_OBJ() and X509at_get_attr_by_NID() return the index of the first object in the array that has an index greater than start_after and a type matching obj or nid, respectively, or -1 on failure. In addition, X509at_get_attr_by_NID() returns -2 if OBJ_nid2obj(3) fails on the requested nid.

X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ() returns an internal pointer to the data contained in the value of the first object that has an index greater than start_after and a type matching obj, or NULL on failure.
