.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
The \fBX509_LOOKUP\fR structure holds the information needed to look up
certificates and CRLs according to an associated \fBX509_LOOKUP_METHOD\fR\|(3).
Multiple \fBX509_LOOKUP\fR instances can be added to an \fBX509_STORE\fR\|(3)
to enable lookup in that store.
.PP
\&\fBX509_LOOKUP_new()\fR creates a new \fBX509_LOOKUP\fR using the given lookup
\&\fImethod\fR.
It can also be created by calling \fBX509_STORE_add_lookup\fR\|(3), which
will associate a \fBX509_STORE\fR with the lookup mechanism.
.PP
\&\fBX509_LOOKUP_init()\fR initializes the internal state and resources as
needed by the given \fBX509_LOOKUP\fR to do its work.
.PP
\&\fBX509_LOOKUP_shutdown()\fR tears down the internal state and resources of
the given \fBX509_LOOKUP\fR.
.PP
\&\fBX509_LOOKUP_free()\fR destructs the given \fBX509_LOOKUP\fR.
.PP
\&\fBX509_LOOKUP_set_method_data()\fR and \fBX509_LOOKUP_get_method_data()\fR
associates and retrieves a pointer to application data to and from the
given \fBX509_LOOKUP\fR, respectively.
.PP
\&\fBX509_LOOKUP_ctrl_ex()\fR is used to set or get additional data to or from
a \fBX509_LOOKUP\fR structure or its associated \fBX509_LOOKUP_METHOD\fR\|(3).
The arguments of the control command are passed via \fIargc\fR and \fIargl\fR,
its return value via \fI*ret\fR. The library context \fIlibctx\fR and property
query \fIpropq\fR are used when fetching algorithms from providers.
The meaning of the arguments depends on the \fIcmd\fR number of the
control command. In general, this function is not called directly, but
wrapped by a macro call, see below.
The control \fIcmd\fRs known to OpenSSL are discussed in more depth
in \*(L"Control Commands\*(R".
.PP
\&\fBX509_LOOKUP_ctrl()\fR is similar to \fBX509_LOOKUP_ctrl_ex()\fR but
uses \s-1NULL\s0 for the library context \fIlibctx\fR and property query \fIpropq\fR.
.PP
\&\fBX509_LOOKUP_load_file_ex()\fR passes a filename to be loaded immediately
into the associated \fBX509_STORE\fR. The library context \fIlibctx\fR and property
query \fIpropq\fR are used when fetching algorithms from providers.
\&\fItype\fR indicates what type of object is expected.
This can only be used with a lookup using the implementation
\&\fBX509_LOOKUP_file\fR\|(3).
.PP
\&\fBX509_LOOKUP_load_file()\fR is similar to \fBX509_LOOKUP_load_file_ex()\fR but
uses \s-1NULL\s0 for the library context \fIlibctx\fR and property query \fIpropq\fR.
.PP
\&\fBX509_LOOKUP_add_dir()\fR passes a directory specification from which
certificates and CRLs are loaded on demand into the associated
\&\fBX509_STORE\fR.
\&\fItype\fR indicates what type of object is expected.
This can only be used with a lookup using the implementation
\&\fBX509_LOOKUP_hash_dir\fR\|(3).
.PP
\&\fBX509_LOOKUP_add_store_ex()\fR passes a \s-1URI\s0 for a directory-like structure
from which containers with certificates and CRLs are loaded on demand
into the associated \fBX509_STORE\fR. The library context \fIlibctx\fR and property
query \fIpropq\fR are used when fetching algorithms from providers.
.PP
\&\fBX509_LOOKUP_add_store()\fR is similar to \fBX509_LOOKUP_add_store_ex()\fR but
uses \s-1NULL\s0 for the library context \fIlibctx\fR and property query \fIpropq\fR.
.PP
\&\fBX509_LOOKUP_load_store_ex()\fR passes a \s-1URI\s0 for a single container from
which certificates and CRLs are immediately loaded into the associated
\&\fBX509_STORE\fR. The library context \fIlibctx\fR and property query \fIpropq\fR are used
when fetching algorithms from providers.
These functions can only be used with a lookup using the
implementation \fBX509_LOOKUP_store\fR\|(3).
.PP
\&\fBX509_LOOKUP_load_store()\fR is similar to \fBX509_LOOKUP_load_store_ex()\fR but
uses \s-1NULL\s0 for the library context \fIlibctx\fR and property query \fIpropq\fR.
.PP
\&\fBX509_LOOKUP_load_file_ex()\fR, \fBX509_LOOKUP_load_file()\fR,
\&\fBX509_LOOKUP_add_dir()\fR,
\&\fBX509_LOOKUP_add_store_ex()\fR \fBX509_LOOKUP_add_store()\fR,
\&\fBX509_LOOKUP_load_store_ex()\fR and \fBX509_LOOKUP_load_store()\fR are
implemented as macros that use \fBX509_LOOKUP_ctrl()\fR.
.PP
\&\fBX509_LOOKUP_by_subject_ex()\fR, \fBX509_LOOKUP_by_subject()\fR,
\&\fBX509_LOOKUP_by_issuer_serial()\fR, \fBX509_LOOKUP_by_fingerprint()\fR, and
\&\fBX509_LOOKUP_by_alias()\fR look up certificates and CRLs in the \fBX509_STORE\fR\|(3)
associated with the \fBX509_LOOKUP\fR using different criteria, where the looked up
object is stored in \fIret\fR.
Some of the underlying \fBX509_LOOKUP_METHOD\fRs will also cache objects
matching the criteria in the associated \fBX509_STORE\fR, which makes it
possible to handle cases where the criteria have more than one hit.
.SS "Control Commands"
.IX Subsection "Control Commands"
The \fBX509_LOOKUP_METHOD\fRs built into OpenSSL recognize the following
\&\fBX509_LOOKUP_ctrl()\fR \fIcmd\fRs:
.IP "\fBX509_L_FILE_LOAD\fR" 4
.IX Item "X509_L_FILE_LOAD"
This is the command that \fBX509_LOOKUP_load_file_ex()\fR and
\&\fBX509_LOOKUP_load_file()\fR use.
The filename is passed in \fIargc\fR, and the type in \fIargl\fR.
.IP "\fBX509_L_ADD_DIR\fR" 4
.IX Item "X509_L_ADD_DIR"
This is the command that \fBX509_LOOKUP_add_dir()\fR uses.
The directory specification is passed in \fIargc\fR, and the type in
\&\fIargl\fR.
.IP "\fBX509_L_ADD_STORE\fR" 4
.IX Item "X509_L_ADD_STORE"
This is the command that \fBX509_LOOKUP_add_store_ex()\fR and
\&\fBX509_LOOKUP_add_store()\fR use.
The \s-1URI\s0 is passed in \fIargc\fR.
.IP "\fBX509_L_LOAD_STORE\fR" 4
.IX Item "X509_L_LOAD_STORE"
This is the command that \fBX509_LOOKUP_load_store_ex()\fR and
\&\fBX509_LOOKUP_load_store()\fR use.
The \s-1URI\s0 is passed in \fIargc\fR.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fBX509_LOOKUP_new()\fR returns a \fBX509_LOOKUP\fR pointer when successful,
or \s-1NULL\s0 on error.
.PP
\&\fBX509_LOOKUP_init()\fR and \fBX509_LOOKUP_shutdown()\fR return 1 on success, or
0 on error.
.PP
\&\fBX509_LOOKUP_ctrl()\fR returns \-1 if the \fBX509_LOOKUP\fR doesn't have an
associated \fBX509_LOOKUP_METHOD\fR, or 1 if the 
doesn't have a control function.
Otherwise, it returns what the control function in the
\&\fBX509_LOOKUP_METHOD\fR returns, which is usually 1 on success and 0 in
error.
.IX Xref "509_LOOKUP_METHOD"
.PP
\&\fBX509_LOOKUP_get_store()\fR returns a \fBX509_STORE\fR pointer if there is
one, otherwise \s-1NULL.\s0
.PP
\&\fBX509_LOOKUP_by_subject_ex()\fR, \fBX509_LOOKUP_by_subject()\fR,
\&\fBX509_LOOKUP_by_issuer_serial()\fR, \fBX509_LOOKUP_by_fingerprint()\fR, and
\&\fBX509_LOOKUP_by_alias()\fR all return 0 if there is no \fBX509_LOOKUP_METHOD\fR or that
method doesn't implement the corresponding function.
Otherwise, it returns what the corresponding function in the
\&\fBX509_LOOKUP_METHOD\fR returns, which is usually 1 on success and 0 in
error.
