DESCRIPTION
X509_NAME_ENTRY_get_object() retrieves the field name of ne in
and ASN1_OBJECT structure.
X509_NAME_ENTRY_get_data() retrieves the field value of ne in
and ASN1_STRING structure.
X509_NAME_ENTRY_set_object() sets the field name of ne to obj.
X509_NAME_ENTRY_set_data() sets the field value of ne to
string type type and value determined by bytes and len.
X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_txt(), X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_NID()
and X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_OBJ() create and return an X509_NAME_ENTRY structure.
NOTES
X509_NAME_ENTRY_get_object() and X509_NAME_ENTRY_get_data()
can be used to examine an X509_NAME_ENTRY function
as returned by X509_NAME_get_entry() for example.
X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_txt(), X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_NID(),
and X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_OBJ() create and return an
X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_txt(), X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_OBJ(), X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_NID()
and X509_NAME_ENTRY_set_data() are seldom used in practice because X509_NAME_ENTRY structures
are almost always part of X509_NAME structures
and the corresponding X509_NAME functions are
typically used to create and add new entries in a single operation.
The arguments of these functions support similar options to
the similarly named ones of the corresponding X509_NAME functions
such as X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(). So for example type can
be set to MBSTRING_ASC but in the case of X509_set_data()
the field name must be set first so the relevant field information
can be looked up internally.
