Each -line (for multiline formats) is indented by B<indent> spaces. The output format -can be extensively customised by use of the B<flags> parameter. - -X509_NAME_print_ex_fp() is identical to X509_NAME_print_ex() except the output is -written to FILE pointer B<fp>. - -X509_NAME_oneline() prints an ASCII version of B<a> to B<buf>. -If B<buf> is B<NULL> then a buffer is dynamically allocated and returned, and -B<size> is ignored. -Otherwise, at most B<size> bytes will be written, including the ending '\0', -and B<buf> is returned. - -X509_NAME_print() prints out B<name> to B<bp> indenting each line by B<obase> -characters. Multiple lines are used if the output (including indent) exceeds -80 characters. - -=head1 NOTES - -The functions X509_NAME_oneline() and X509_NAME_print() are legacy functions which -produce a non standard output form, they don't handle multi character fields and -have various quirks and inconsistencies. Their use is strongly discouraged in new -applications. - -Although there are a large number of possible flags for most purposes -B<XN_FLAG_ONELINE>, B<XN_FLAG_MULTILINE> or B<XN_FLAG_RFC2253> will suffice. -As noted on the L<ASN1_STRING_print_ex(3)|ASN1_STRING_print_ex(3)> manual page -for UTF8 terminals the B<ASN1_STRFLGS_ESC_MSB> should be unset: so for example -B<XN_FLAG_ONELINE & ~ASN1_STRFLGS_ESC_MSB> would be used. - -The complete set of the flags supported by X509_NAME_print_ex() is listed below. - -Several options can be ored together. - -The options B<XN_FLAG_SEP_COMMA_PLUS>, B<XN_FLAG_SEP_CPLUS_SPC>, -B<XN_FLAG_SEP_SPLUS_SPC> and B<XN_FLAG_SEP_MULTILINE> determine the field separators -to use. Two distinct separators are used between distinct RelativeDistinguishedName -components and separate values in the same RDN for a multi-valued RDN. Multi-valued -RDNs are currently very rare so the second separator will hardly ever be used. - -B<XN_FLAG_SEP_COMMA_PLUS> uses comma and plus as separators. B<XN_FLAG_SEP_CPLUS_SPC> -uses comma and plus with spaces: this is more readable that plain comma and plus. -B<XN_FLAG_SEP_SPLUS_SPC> uses spaced semicolon and plus. B<XN_FLAG_SEP_MULTILINE> uses -spaced newline and plus respectively. - -If B<XN_FLAG_DN_REV> is set the whole DN is printed in reversed order. - -The fields B<XN_FLAG_FN_SN>, B<XN_FLAG_FN_LN>, B<XN_FLAG_FN_OID>, -B<XN_FLAG_FN_NONE> determine how a field name is displayed. It will -use the short name (e.g. CN) the long name (e.g. commonName) always -use OID numerical form (normally OIDs are only used if the field name is not -recognised) and no field name respectively. - -If B<XN_FLAG_SPC_EQ> is set then spaces will be placed around the '=' character -separating field names and values. - -If B<XN_FLAG_DUMP_UNKNOWN_FIELDS> is set then the encoding of unknown fields is -printed instead of the values. - -If B<XN_FLAG_FN_ALIGN> is set then field names are padded to 20 characters: this -is only of use for multiline format. - -Additionally all the options supported by ASN1_STRING_print_ex() can be used to -control how each field value is displayed. - -In addition a number options can be set for commonly used formats. - -B<XN_FLAG_RFC2253> sets options which produce an output compatible with RFC2253 it -is equivalent to: - B<ASN1_STRFLGS_RFC2253 | XN_FLAG_SEP_COMMA_PLUS | XN_FLAG_DN_REV | XN_FLAG_FN_SN | XN_FLAG_DUMP_UNKNOWN_FIELDS> - - -B<XN_FLAG_ONELINE> is a more readable one line format which is the same as: - B<ASN1_STRFLGS_RFC2253 | ASN1_STRFLGS_ESC_QUOTE | XN_FLAG_SEP_CPLUS_SPC | XN_FLAG_SPC_EQ | XN_FLAG_FN_SN> - -B<XN_FLAG_MULTILINE> is a multiline format which is the same as: - B<ASN1_STRFLGS_ESC_CTRL | ASN1_STRFLGS_ESC_MSB | XN_FLAG_SEP_MULTILINE | XN_FLAG_SPC_EQ | XN_FLAG_FN_LN | XN_FLAG_FN_ALIGN> - -B<XN_FLAG_COMPAT> uses a format identical to X509_NAME_print(): in fact it calls X509_NAME_print() internally. - -=head1 SEE ALSO - -L<ASN1_STRING_print_ex(3)|ASN1_STRING_print_ex(3)> - -=head1 HISTORY - -TBA - -=cut |
