The following function has been deprecated since OpenSSL 1.1.0, and can be
|
|
hidden entirely by defining B<OPENSSL_API_COMPAT> with a suitable version value,
|
|
see L<openssl_user_macros(7)>:
|
|
|
|
void OBJ_cleanup(void);
|
|
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
The ASN1 object utility functions process ASN1_OBJECT structures which are
|
|
a representation of the ASN1 OBJECT IDENTIFIER (OID) type.
|
|
For convenience, OIDs are usually represented in source code as numeric
|
|
identifiers, or B<NID>s. OpenSSL has an internal table of OIDs that
|
|
are generated when the library is built, and their corresponding NIDs
|
|
are available as defined constants. For the functions below, application
|
|
code should treat all returned values -- OIDs, NIDs, or names -- as
|
|
constants.
|
|
|
|
OBJ_nid2obj(), OBJ_nid2ln() and OBJ_nid2sn() convert the NID I<n> to
|
|
an ASN1_OBJECT structure, its long name and its short name respectively,
|
|
or B<NULL> if an error occurred.
|
|
|
|
OBJ_obj2nid(), OBJ_ln2nid(), OBJ_sn2nid() return the corresponding NID
|
|
for the object I<o>, the long name I<ln> or the short name I<sn> respectively
|
|
or NID_undef if an error occurred.
|
|
|
|
OBJ_txt2nid() returns NID corresponding to text string I<s>. I<s> can be
|
|
a long name, a short name or the numerical representation of an object.
|
|
|
|
OBJ_txt2obj() converts the text string I<s> into an ASN1_OBJECT structure.
|
|
If I<no_name> is 0 then long names and short names will be interpreted
|
|
as well as numerical forms. If I<no_name> is 1 only the numerical form
|
|
is acceptable.
|
|
|
|
OBJ_obj2txt() converts the B<ASN1_OBJECT> I<a> into a textual representation.
|
|
Unless I<buf> is NULL,
|
|
the representation is written as a NUL-terminated string to I<buf>, where
|
|
at most I<buf_len> bytes are written, truncating the result if necessary.
|
|
In any case it returns the total string length, excluding the NUL character,
|
|
required for non-truncated representation, or -1 on error.
|
|
If I<no_name> is 0 then if the object has a long or short name
|
|
then that will be used, otherwise the numerical form will be used.
|
|
If I<no_name> is 1 then the numerical form will always be used.
|
|
|
|
i2t_ASN1_OBJECT() is the same as OBJ_obj2txt() with the I<no_name> set to zero.
|
|
|
|
OBJ_cmp() compares I<a> to I<b>. If the two are identical 0 is returned.
|
|
|
|
OBJ_dup() returns a copy of I<o>.
|
|
|
|
OBJ_create() adds a new object to the internal table. I<oid> is the
|
|
numerical form of the object, I<sn> the short name and I<ln> the
|
|
long name. A new NID is returned for the created object in case of
|
|
success and NID_undef in case of failure. Any of I<oid>, I<sn> and
|
|
I<ln> may be NULL, but not all at once.
|
|
|
|
OBJ_length() returns the size of the content octets of I<obj>.
|
|
|
|
OBJ_get0_data() returns a pointer to the content octets of I<obj>.
|
|
The returned pointer is an internal pointer which B<must not> be freed.
|
|
|
|
OBJ_add_sigid() creates a new composite "Signature Algorithm" that associates a
|
|
given NID with two other NIDs - one representing the underlying signature
|
|
algorithm and the other representing a digest algorithm to be used in
|
|
conjunction with it. I<signid> represents the NID for the composite "Signature
|
|
Algorithm", I<dig_id> is the NID for the digest algorithm and I<pkey_id> is the
|
|
NID for the underlying signature algorithm. As there are signature algorithms
|
|
that do not require a digest, NID_undef is a valid I<dig_id>.
|
|
|
|
OBJ_cleanup() releases any resources allocated by creating new objects.
|
|
|
|
=head1 NOTES
|
|
|
|
Objects in OpenSSL can have a short name, a long name and a numerical
|
|
identifier (NID) associated with them. A standard set of objects is
|
|
represented in an internal table. The appropriate values are defined
|
|
in the header file B<objects.h>.
|
|
|
|
For example the OID for commonName has the following definitions:
|
|
|
|
#define SN_commonName "CN"
|
|
#define LN_commonName "commonName"
|
|
#define NID_commonName 13
|
|
|
|
New objects can be added by calling OBJ_create().
|
|
|
|
Table objects have certain advantages over other objects: for example
|
|
their NIDs can be used in a C language switch statement. They are
|
|
also static constant structures which are shared: that is there
|
|
is only a single constant structure for each table object.
|
|
|
|
Objects which are not in the table have the NID value NID_undef.
|
|
|
|
Objects do not need to be in the internal tables to be processed,
|
|
the functions OBJ_txt2obj() and OBJ_obj2txt() can process the numerical
|
|
form of an OID.
|
|
|
|
Some objects are used to represent algorithms which do not have a
|
|
corresponding ASN.1 OBJECT IDENTIFIER encoding (for example no OID currently
|
|
exists for a particular algorithm). As a result they B<cannot> be encoded or
|
|
decoded as part of ASN.1 structures. Applications can determine if there
|
|
is a corresponding OBJECT IDENTIFIER by checking OBJ_length() is not zero.
|
|
|
|
These functions cannot return B<const> because an B<ASN1_OBJECT> can
|
|
represent both an internal, constant, OID and a dynamically-created one.
|
|
The latter cannot be constant because it needs to be freed after use.
|
|
|
|
These functions were not thread safe in OpenSSL 3.0 and before.
|
|
|
|
=head1 RETURN VALUES
|
|
|
|
OBJ_nid2obj() returns an B<ASN1_OBJECT> structure or B<NULL> is an
|
|
error occurred.
|
|
|
|
OBJ_nid2ln() and OBJ_nid2sn() returns a valid string or B<NULL>
|
|
on error.
|
|
|
|
OBJ_obj2nid(), OBJ_ln2nid(), OBJ_sn2nid() and OBJ_txt2nid() return
|
|
a NID or B<NID_undef> on error.
|
|
|
|
OBJ_add_sigid() returns 1 on success or 0 on error.
|
|
|
|
i2t_ASN1_OBJECT() an OBJ_obj2txt() return -1 on error.
|
|
On success, they return the length of the string written to I<buf> if I<buf> is
|
|
not NULL and I<buf_len> is big enough, otherwise the total string length.
|
|
Note that this does not count the trailing NUL character.
|
|
|
|
=head1 EXAMPLES
|
|
|
|
Create an object for B<commonName>:
|
|
|
|
ASN1_OBJECT *o = OBJ_nid2obj(NID_commonName);
|
|
|
|
Check if an object is B<commonName>
|
|
|
|
if (OBJ_obj2nid(obj) == NID_commonName)
|
|
/* Do something */
|
|
|
|
Create a new NID and initialize an object from it:
|
|
|
|
int new_nid = OBJ_create("1.2.3.4", "NewOID", "New Object Identifier");
|
|
ASN1_OBJECT *obj = OBJ_nid2obj(new_nid);
|
|
|
|
Create a new object directly:
|
|
|
|
obj = OBJ_txt2obj("1.2.3.4", 1);
