=head1 DESCRIPTION
X509V3_get_ext_d2i() looks for an extension with OID B<nid> in the extensions
B<x> and, if found, decodes it. If B<idx> is B<NULL> then only one
occurrence of an extension is permissible otherwise the first extension after
index B<*idx> is returned and B<*idx> updated to the location of the extension.
If B<crit> is not B<NULL> then B<*crit> is set to a status value: -2 if the
extension occurs multiple times (this is only returned if B<idx> is B<NULL>),
-1 if the extension could not be found, 0 if the extension is found and is
not critical and 1 if critical. A pointer to an extension specific structure
or B<NULL> is returned.
X509V3_add1_i2d() adds extension B<value> to STACK B<*x> (allocating a new
STACK if necessary) using OID B<nid> and criticality B<crit> according
to B<flags>.
X509V3_EXT_d2i() attempts to decode the ASN.1 data contained in extension
B<ext> and returns a pointer to an extension specific structure or B<NULL>
if the extension could not be decoded (invalid syntax or not supported).
X509V3_EXT_i2d() encodes the extension specific structure B<ext>
with OID B<ext_nid> and criticality B<crit>.
X509_get_ext_d2i() and X509_add1_ext_i2d() operate on the extensions of
certificate B<x>, they are otherwise identical to X509V3_get_d2i() and
X509V3_add_i2d().
X509_CRL_get_ext_d2i() and X509_CRL_add1_ext_i2d() operate on the extensions
of CRL B<crl>, they are otherwise identical to X509V3_get_d2i() and
X509V3_add_i2d().
X509_REVOKED_get_ext_d2i() and X509_REVOKED_add1_ext_i2d() operate on the
extensions of B<X509_REVOKED> structure B<r> (i.e for CRL entry extensions),
they are otherwise identical to X509V3_get_d2i() and X509V3_add_i2d().
X509_get0_extensions(), X509_CRL_get0_extensions() and
X509_REVOKED_get0_extensions() return a stack of all the extensions
of a certificate a CRL or a CRL entry respectively.
=head1 NOTES
In almost all cases an extension can occur at most once and multiple
occurences is an error. Therefore the B<idx> parameter is usually B<NULL>.
The B<flags> parameter may be one of the following values.
B<X509V3_ADD_DEFAULT> appends a new extension only if the extension does
not already exist. An error is returned if the extension does already
exist.
B<X509V3_ADD_APPEND> appends a new extension, ignoring whether the extension
already exists.
B<X509V3_ADD_REPLACE> replaces an extension if it exists otherwise apppends
a new extension.
B<X509V3_ADD_REPLACE_EXISTING> replaces an existing extension if it exists
otherwise returns an error.
B<X509V3_ADD_KEEP_EXISTING> appends a new extension only if the extension does
not already exist. An error B<is not> returned if the extension does already
exist.
B<X509V3_ADD_DELETE> extension B<nid> is deleted: no new extenion is added.
If B<X509V3_ADD_SILENT> is ored with B<flags>: any error returned will not
be added to the error queue.
The function X509V3_get_d2i() will return B<NULL> if the extension is not
found, occurs multiple times or cannot be decoded. It is possible to
determine the precise reason by checking the value of B<*crit>.

=head1 RETURN VALUES
X509V3_EXT_d2i() and *X509V3_get_d2i() return a pointer to an extension
specific structure of B<NULL> if an error occurs.
X509V3_EXT_i2d() returns a pointer to an B<X509_EXTENSION> structure
or B<NULL> if an error occurs.
X509V3_add1_i2d() returns 1 if the operation is successful and 0 if it
fails due to a non-fatal error (extension not found, already exists,
cannot be encoded) or -1 due to a fatal error such as a memory allocation
failure.
X509_get0_extensions(), X509_CRL_get0_extensions() and
X509_REVOKED_get0_extensions() return a stack of extensions. They can return
NULL if no extensions are present.
