=head1 DESCRIPTION
X509v3_get_ext_count() retrieves the number of extensions in I<x>.
X509v3_get_ext() retrieves extension I<loc> from I<x>. The index I<loc>
can take any value from 0 to X509_get_ext_count(I<x>) - 1. The returned
extension is an internal pointer which B<MUST NOT> be freed by the
application.
X509v3_get_ext_by_NID() and X509v3_get_ext_by_OBJ() look for an extension
with I<nid> or I<obj> from extension STACK I<x>. The search starts from the
extension after I<lastpos> or from the beginning if I<lastpos> is -1. If
the extension is found, its index is returned, otherwise -1 is returned.
X509v3_get_ext_by_critical() is similar to X509v3_get_ext_by_NID() except it
looks for an extension of criticality I<crit>. A zero value for I<crit>
looks for a non-critical extension. A nonzero value looks for a critical
extension.
X509v3_delete_ext() deletes the extension with index I<loc> from I<x>.
The deleted extension is returned and must be freed by the caller.
If I<loc> is an invalid index value, NULL is returned.
X509v3_add_ext() inserts extension I<ex> to STACK I<*x> at position I<loc>.
If I<loc> is -1, the new extension is added to the end.
A new STACK is allocated if I<*x> is NULL.
The passed extension I<ex> is duplicated so it must be freed after use.
X509v3_add_extensions() adds the list of extensions I<exts> to STACK I<*target>.
The STACK I<*target> is returned unchanged if I<exts> is NULL or an empty list.
Otherwise a new stack is allocated if I<*target> is NULL.
An extension to be added
that has the same OID as a pre-existing one replaces this earlier one.
X509_get_ext_count(), X509_get_ext(), X509_get_ext_by_NID(),
X509_get_ext_by_OBJ(), X509_get_ext_by_critical(), X509_delete_ext()
and X509_add_ext() operate on the extensions of certificate I<x>. They are
otherwise identical to the X509v3 functions.
X509_CRL_get_ext_count(), X509_CRL_get_ext(), X509_CRL_get_ext_by_NID(),
X509_CRL_get_ext_by_OBJ(), X509_CRL_get_ext_by_critical(),
X509_CRL_delete_ext() and X509_CRL_add_ext() operate on the extensions of
CRL I<x>. They are otherwise identical to the X509v3 functions.
X509_REVOKED_get_ext_count(), X509_REVOKED_get_ext(),
X509_REVOKED_get_ext_by_NID(), X509_REVOKED_get_ext_by_OBJ(),
X509_REVOKED_get_ext_by_critical(), X509_REVOKED_delete_ext() and
X509_REVOKED_add_ext() operate on the extensions of CRL entry I<x>.
They are otherwise identical to the X509v3 functions.
=head1 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
X509_add1_ext_i2d() and X509_get_ext_d2i().
For X509v3_get_ext_by_NID(), X509v3_get_ext_by_OBJ(),
X509v3_get_ext_by_critical() and its variants, a zero index return value
is not an error since extension STACK I<x> indices start from zero.
These search functions start from the extension B<after> the I<lastpos> parameter
so it should initially be set to -1. If it is set to zero, the initial extension
will not be checked.
X509v3_delete_ext() and its variants are a bit counter-intuitive
because these functions do not free the extension they delete.
They return an B<X509_EXTENSION> object which must be explicitly freed
using X509_EXTENSION_free().
=head1 RETURN VALUES
X509v3_get_ext_count() returns the extension count or 0 for failure.
X509v3_get_ext(), X509v3_delete_ext() and X509_delete_ext() return an
B<X509_EXTENSION> structure or NULL if an error occurs.
X509v3_get_ext_by_OBJ() and X509v3_get_ext_by_critical() return
the extension index or -1 if an error occurs.
X509v3_get_ext_by_NID() returns the extension index or negative values if an
error occurs.
X509v3_add_ext() returns a STACK of extensions or NULL on error.
X509v3_add_extensions() returns a STACK of extensions
or NULL on error or if I<*target> is NULL and I<exts> is NULL or an empty list.
X509_add_ext() returns 1 on success and 0 on error.
