=head1 NAME
NCONF_new_with_libctx, NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_default, NCONF_load
- functionality to Load and parse configuration files manually
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/conf.h>
CONF *NCONF_new_with_libctx(OPENSSL_CTX *libctx, CONF_METHOD *meth);
CONF *NCONF_new(CONF_METHOD *meth);
void NCONF_free(CONF *conf);
CONF_METHOD *NCONF_default(void);
int NCONF_load(CONF *conf, const char *file, long *eline);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
NCONF_new_with_libctx() creates a new CONF object in heap memory and assigns to
it a context I<libctx> that can be used during loading. If the method table
I<meth> is set to NULL then the default value of NCONF_default() is used.
NCONF_new() is similar to NCONF_new_with_libctx() but sets the I<libctx> to NULL.
NCONF_free() frees the data associated with I<conf> and then frees the I<conf>
object.
NCONF_load() parses the file named I<filename> and adds the values found to
I<conf>. If an error occurs I<file> and I<eline> list the file and line that
the load failed on if they are not NULL.
NCONF_default() gets the default method table for processing a configuration file.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
NCONF_load() returns 1 on success or 0 on error.
NCONF_new_with_libctx() and NCONF_new() return a newly created I<CONF> object
or NULL if an error occurs.
