=head1 DESCRIPTION

These functions retrieve information related to commonly used certificate extensions.

X509_get_pathlen() retrieves the path length extension from a certificate.
This extension is used to limit the length of a cert chain that may be
issued from that CA.

X509_get_extension_flags() retrieves general information about a certificate,
it will return one or more of the following flags ored together.

=over 4

=item B<EXFLAG_V1>

The certificate is an obsolete version 1 certificate.

=item B<EXFLAG_BCONS>

The certificate contains a basic constraints extension.

=item B<EXFLAG_CA>

The certificate contains basic constraints and asserts the CA flag.

=item B<EXFLAG_PROXY>

The certificate is a valid proxy certificate.

=item B<EXFLAG_SI>

The certificate is self issued (that is subject and issuer names match).

=item B<EXFLAG_SS>

The subject and issuer names match and extension values imply it is self
signed.

=item B<EXFLAG_FRESHEST>

The freshest CRL extension is present in the certificate.

=item B<EXFLAG_CRITICAL>

The certificate contains an unhandled critical extension.

=item B<EXFLAG_INVALID>

Some certificate extension values are invalid or inconsistent. The
certificate should be rejected.
This bit may also be raised after an out-of-memory error while
processing the X509 object, so it may not be related to the processed
ASN1 object itself.

=item B<EXFLAG_INVALID_POLICY>

The NID_certificate_policies certificate extension is invalid or
inconsistent. The certificate should be rejected.
This bit may also be raised after an out-of-memory error while
processing the X509 object, so it may not be related to the processed
ASN1 object itself.

=item B<EXFLAG_KUSAGE>

The certificate contains a key usage extension. The value can be retrieved
using X509_get_key_usage().

=item B<EXFLAG_XKUSAGE>

The certificate contains an extended key usage extension. The value can be
retrieved using X509_get_extended_key_usage().

=back

X509_get_key_usage() returns the value of the key usage extension.  If key
usage is present will return zero or more of the flags:
B<KU_DIGITAL_SIGNATURE>, B<KU_NON_REPUDIATION>, B<KU_KEY_ENCIPHERMENT>,
B<KU_DATA_ENCIPHERMENT>, B<KU_KEY_AGREEMENT>, B<KU_KEY_CERT_SIGN>,
B<KU_CRL_SIGN>, B<KU_ENCIPHER_ONLY> or B<KU_DECIPHER_ONLY> corresponding to
individual key usage bits. If key usage is absent then B<UINT32_MAX> is
returned.

X509_get_extended_key_usage() returns the value of the extended key usage
extension. If extended key usage is present it will return zero or more of the
flags: B<XKU_SSL_SERVER>, B<XKU_SSL_CLIENT>, B<XKU_SMIME>, B<XKU_CODE_SIGN>
B<XKU_OCSP_SIGN>, B<XKU_TIMESTAMP>, B<XKU_DVCS> or B<XKU_ANYEKU>. These
correspond to the OIDs B<id-kp-serverAuth>, B<id-kp-clientAuth>,
B<id-kp-emailProtection>, B<id-kp-codeSigning>, B<id-kp-OCSPSigning>,
B<id-kp-timeStamping>, B<id-kp-dvcs> and B<anyExtendedKeyUsage> respectively.
Additionally B<XKU_SGC> is set if either Netscape or Microsoft SGC OIDs are
present.

X509_get0_subject_key_id() returns an internal pointer to the subject key
identifier of B<x> as an B<ASN1_OCTET_STRING> or B<NULL> if the extension
is not present or cannot be parsed.

X509_get0_authority_key_id() returns an internal pointer to the authority key
identifier of B<x> as an B<ASN1_OCTET_STRING> or B<NULL> if the extension
is not present or cannot be parsed.

X509_get0_authority_issuer() returns an internal pointer to the authority
certificate issuer of B<x> as a stack of B<GENERAL_NAME> structures or
B<NULL> if the extension is not present or cannot be parsed.

X509_get0_authority_serial() returns an internal pointer to the authority
certificate serial number of B<x> as an B<ASN1_INTEGER> or B<NULL> if the
extension is not present or cannot be parsed.

X509_set_proxy_flag() marks the certificate with the B<EXFLAG_PROXY> flag.
This is for the users who need to mark non-RFC3820 proxy certificates as
such, as OpenSSL only detects RFC3820 compliant ones.

X509_set_proxy_pathlen() sets the proxy certificate path length for the given
certificate B<x>.  This is for the users who need to mark non-RFC3820 proxy
certificates as such, as OpenSSL only detects RFC3820 compliant ones.

X509_get_proxy_pathlen() returns the proxy certificate path length for the
given certificate B<x> if it is a proxy certificate.

=head1 NOTES

The value of the flags correspond to extension values which are cached
in the B<X509> structure. If the flags returned do not provide sufficient
information an application should examine extension values directly
for example using X509_get_ext_d2i().

If the key usage or extended key usage extension is absent then typically usage
is unrestricted. For this reason X509_get_key_usage() and
X509_get_extended_key_usage() return B<UINT32_MAX> when the corresponding
extension is absent. Applications can additionally check the return value of
X509_get_extension_flags() and take appropriate action is an extension is
absent.

If X509_get0_subject_key_id() returns B<NULL> then the extension may be
absent or malformed. Applications can determine the precise reason using
X509_get_ext_d2i().

=head1 RETURN VALUES

X509_get_pathlen() returns the path length value, or -1 if the extension
is not present.

X509_get_extension_flags(), X509_get_key_usage() and
X509_get_extended_key_usage() return sets of flags corresponding to the
certificate extension values.

X509_get0_subject_key_id() returns the subject key identifier as a
pointer to an B<ASN1_OCTET_STRING> structure or B<NULL> if the extension
is absent or an error occurred during parsing.

X509_get_proxy_pathlen() returns the path length value if the given
certificate is a proxy one and has a path length set, and -1 otherwise.
