In particular, both .Fa child and .Fa parent are sorted appropriately and they contain at most one .Vt IPAddressFamily object per address family identifier (AFI) and optional subsequent address family identifier (SAFI). .Pp The checks are, in order: .Bl -enum .It If .Fa child is .Dv NULL or identical to .Fa parent then .Fa child is a subset of .Fa parent . In particular, a .Dv NULL .Fa parent is allowed for a .Dv NULL .Fa child . .It If .Fa parent is .Dv NULL then .Fa child is not a subset of .Fa parent . .It If .Xr X509v3_addr_inherits 3 determines that .Fa child inherits or that .Fa parent inherits then .Fa child is not a subset of .Fa parent . .It Each address prefix or range in .Fa child must be a subset of an address prefix or range in the .Fa parent , taking AFI and optional SAFI into account: .Bl -bullet -compact .It For each .Vt IPAddressFamily of .Fa child there must be an .Vt IPAddressFamily of .Fa parent with the same AFI and optional SAFI. .It Since the address prefixes and ranges in corresponding .Vt IPAddressFamily objects in .Fa child and .Fa parent are sorted in ascending order, and do not overlap, they can be traversed simultaneously in linear time. For each prefix or range in .Fa child there must be a prefix or range in .Fa parent whose minimal address is smaller and whose maximal address is larger. .El If any of these steps fails, .Fa child is not a subset of .Fa parent . .El .Pp .Fn X509v3_asid_subset determines if all AS identifier resources in .Fa child are contained in the corresponding resources in .Fa parent . .Pp The description for .Fn X509v3_addr_subset applies mutatis mutandis. In particular, .Fa child and .Fa parent must be in canonical form per .Xr X509v3_asid_is_canonical 3 , but this is not enforced. .Sh RETURN VALUES .Fn X509v3_addr_subset and .Fn X509v3_asid_subset return 1 if and only if .Fa child is a subset of .Fa parent , otherwise they return 0. If both .Fa child and .Fa parent are in canonical form, these functions cannot fail. .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr ASIdentifiers_new 3 , .Xr ASRange_new 3 , .Xr crypto 3 , .Xr IPAddressRange_new 3 , .Xr X509_new 3 , .Xr X509v3_addr_add_inherit 3 , .Xr X509v3_asid_add_inherit 3 .Sh STANDARDS RFC 3779: X.509 Extensions for IP Addresses and AS Identifiers. .Sh HISTORY These functions first appeared in OpenSSL 0.9.8e and have been available since .Ox 7.1 .
