.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fBX509v3_get_ext_count()\fR retrieves the number of extensions in \fIx\fR.
.PP
\&\fBX509v3_get_ext()\fR retrieves extension \fIloc\fR from \fIx\fR. The index \fIloc\fR
can take any value from 0 to X509_get_ext_count(\fIx\fR) \- 1. The returned
extension is an internal pointer which \fB\s-1MUST NOT\s0\fR be freed by the
application.
.PP
\&\fBX509v3_get_ext_by_NID()\fR and \fBX509v3_get_ext_by_OBJ()\fR look for an extension
with \fInid\fR or \fIobj\fR from extension \s-1STACK\s0 \fIx\fR. The search starts from the
extension after \fIlastpos\fR or from the beginning if \fIlastpos\fR is \-1. If
the extension is found, its index is returned, otherwise \-1 is returned.
.PP
\&\fBX509v3_get_ext_by_critical()\fR is similar to \fBX509v3_get_ext_by_NID()\fR except it
looks for an extension of criticality \fIcrit\fR. A zero value for \fIcrit\fR
looks for a non-critical extension. A nonzero value looks for a critical
extension.
.PP
\&\fBX509v3_delete_ext()\fR deletes the extension with index \fIloc\fR from \fIx\fR.
The deleted extension is returned and must be freed by the caller.
If \fIloc\fR is an invalid index value, \s-1NULL\s0 is returned.
.PP
\&\fBX509v3_add_ext()\fR adds extension \fIex\fR to \s-1STACK\s0 \fI*x\fR at position \fIloc\fR. If
\&\fIloc\fR is \-1, the new extension is added to the end. If \fI*x\fR is \s-1NULL,\s0
a new \s-1STACK\s0 will be allocated. The passed extension \fIex\fR is duplicated
internally so it must be freed after use.
.PP
\&\fBX509_get_ext_count()\fR, \fBX509_get_ext()\fR, \fBX509_get_ext_by_NID()\fR,
\&\fBX509_get_ext_by_OBJ()\fR, \fBX509_get_ext_by_critical()\fR, \fBX509_delete_ext()\fR
and \fBX509_add_ext()\fR operate on the extensions of certificate \fIx\fR. They are
otherwise identical to the X509v3 functions.
.PP
\&\fBX509_CRL_get_ext_count()\fR, \fBX509_CRL_get_ext()\fR, \fBX509_CRL_get_ext_by_NID()\fR,
\&\fBX509_CRL_get_ext_by_OBJ()\fR, \fBX509_CRL_get_ext_by_critical()\fR,
\&\fBX509_CRL_delete_ext()\fR and \fBX509_CRL_add_ext()\fR operate on the extensions of
\&\s-1CRL\s0 \fIx\fR. They are otherwise identical to the X509v3 functions.
.PP
\&\fBX509_REVOKED_get_ext_count()\fR, \fBX509_REVOKED_get_ext()\fR,
\&\fBX509_REVOKED_get_ext_by_NID()\fR, \fBX509_REVOKED_get_ext_by_OBJ()\fR,
\&\fBX509_REVOKED_get_ext_by_critical()\fR, \fBX509_REVOKED_delete_ext()\fR and
\&\fBX509_REVOKED_add_ext()\fR operate on the extensions of \s-1CRL\s0 entry \fIx\fR.
They are otherwise identical to the X509v3 functions.
.SH "NOTES"
.IX Header "NOTES"
These functions are used to examine stacks of extensions directly.
Applications that want to parse or encode and add an extension should
use the extension encode and decode functions instead, such as
\&\fBX509_add1_ext_i2d()\fR and \fBX509_get_ext_d2i()\fR.
.PP
For \fBX509v3_get_ext_by_NID()\fR, \fBX509v3_get_ext_by_OBJ()\fR,
\&\fBX509v3_get_ext_by_critical()\fR and its variants, a zero index return value
is not an error since extension \s-1STACK\s0 \fIx\fR indices start from zero.
These search functions start from the extension \fBafter\fR the \fIlastpos\fR parameter
so it should initially be set to \-1. If it is set to zero, the initial extension
will not be checked.
.PP
\&\fBX509v3_delete_ext()\fR and its variants are a bit counter-intuitive
because these functions do not free the extension they delete.
They return an \fBX509_EXTENSION\fR object which must be explicitly freed
using \fBX509_EXTENSION_free()\fR.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fBX509v3_get_ext_count()\fR returns the extension count or 0 for failure.
.PP
\&\fBX509v3_get_ext()\fR, \fBX509v3_delete_ext()\fR and \fBX509_delete_ext()\fR return an
\&\fBX509_EXTENSION\fR structure or \s-1NULL\s0 if an error occurs.
.PP
\&\fBX509v3_get_ext_by_OBJ()\fR and \fBX509v3_get_ext_by_critical()\fR return
the extension index or \-1 if an error occurs.
.PP
\&\fBX509v3_get_ext_by_NID()\fR returns the extension index or negative values if an
error occurs.
.PP
\&\fBX509v3_add_ext()\fR returns a \s-1STACK\s0 of extensions or \s-1NULL\s0 on error.
.PP
\&\fBX509_add_ext()\fR returns 1 on success and 0 on error.
