=head1 DESCRIPTION
X509_REQ_get_attr_by_OBJ() finds the location of the first matching object I<obj>
in the I<req> attribute list. The search starts at the position after I<lastpos>.
If the returned value is positive then it can be used on the next call to
X509_REQ_get_attr_by_OBJ() as the value of I<lastpos> in order to iterate through
the remaining attributes. I<lastpos> can be set to any negative value on the
first call, in order to start searching from the start of the attribute list.
X509_REQ_get_attr_by_NID() is similar to X509_REQ_get_attr_by_OBJ() except that
it passes the numerical identifier (NID) I<nid> associated with the object.
See <openssl/obj_mac.h> for a list of NID_*.
X509_REQ_get_attr() returns the B<X509_ATTRIBUTE> object at index I<loc> in the
I<req> attribute list. I<loc> should be in the range from 0 to
X509_REQ_get_attr_count() - 1.
X509_REQ_delete_attr() removes the B<X509_ATTRIBUTE> object at index I<loc> in
the I<req> objects list of attributes. An error occurs if I<req> is NULL.
X509_REQ_add1_attr() pushes a copy of the passed in B<X509_ATTRIBUTE> I<>attr>
to the I<req> object's attribute list. An error will occur if either the
attribute list is NULL or the attribute already exists.
X509_REQ_add1_attr_by_OBJ() creates a new B<X509_ATTRIBUTE> using
X509_ATTRIBUTE_set1_object() and X509_ATTRIBUTE_set1_data() to assign a new
I<obj> with type I<type> and data I<bytes> of length I<len> and then pushes it
to the I<req> object's attribute list. I<req> must be non NULL or an error
will occur. If I<obj> already exists in the attribute list then an error occurs.
X509_REQ_add1_attr_by_NID() is similar to X509_REQ_add1_attr_by_OBJ() except
that it passes the numerical identifier (NID) I<nid> associated with the object.
See <openssl/obj_mac.h> for a list of NID_*.
X509_REQ_add1_attr_by_txt() is similar to X509_REQ_add1_attr_by_OBJ() except
that it passes a name I<attrname> associated with the object.
See <openssl/obj_mac.h> for a list of SN_* names.
Refer to L<X509_ATTRIBUTE(3)> for information related to attributes.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
X509_REQ_get_attr_count() returns the number of attributes in the I<req> object
attribute list or -1 if the attribute list is NULL.
X509_REQ_get_attr_by_OBJ() returns -1 if either the I<req> object's attribute
list is empty OR I<obj> is not found, otherwise it returns the location of the
I<obj> in the attribute list.
X509_REQ_get_attr_by_NID() is similar to X509_REQ_get_attr_by_OBJ(), except that
it returns -2 if the I<nid> is not known by OpenSSL.
X509_REQ_get_attr() returns either an B<X509_ATTRIBUTE> or NULL on error.
X509_REQ_delete_attr() returns either the removed B<X509_ATTRIBUTE> or NULL if
there is a error.
X509_REQ_add1_attr(), X509_REQ_add1_attr_by_OBJ(), X509_REQ_add1_attr_by_NID()
and X509_REQ_add1_attr_by_txt() return 1 on success or 0 on error.
=head1 NOTES
Any functions that modify the attributes (add or delete) internally set a flag
to indicate the ASN.1 encoding has been modified.
