The index .Fa loc can take any value from 0 to .Fn X509_get_ext_count x No - 1 . The returned extension is an internal pointer which must not be freed up by the application. .Pp .Fn X509v3_get_ext_by_NID and .Fn X509v3_get_ext_by_OBJ look for an extension with .Fa nid or .Fa obj from extension stack .Fa x . The search starts from the extension after .Fa lastpos or from the beginning if .Fa lastpos is -1. If the extension is found, its index is returned; otherwise, -1 is returned. .Pp .Fn X509v3_get_ext_by_critical is similar to .Fn X509v3_get_ext_by_NID except that it looks for an extension of criticality .Fa crit . A zero value for .Fa crit looks for a non-critical extension; a non-zero value looks for a critical extension. .Pp .Fn X509v3_delete_ext deletes the extension with index .Fa loc from .Fa x . The deleted extension is returned and must be freed by the caller. If .Fa loc is an invalid index value, .Dv NULL is returned. .Pp .Fn X509v3_add_ext adds the extension .Fa ex to the stack .Pf * Fa x at position .Fa loc . If .Fa loc is -1, the new extension is added to the end. If .Pf * Fa x is .Dv NULL , a new stack will be allocated. The passed extension .Fa ex is duplicated internally so it must be freed after use. .Pp .Fn X509_get_ext_count , .Fn X509_get_ext , .Fn X509_get_ext_by_NID , .Fn X509_get_ext_by_OBJ , .Fn X509_get_ext_by_critical , .Fn X509_delete_ext , and .Fn X509_add_ext operate on the extensions of certificate .Fa x . They are otherwise identical to the X509v3 functions. .Pp .Fn X509_CRL_get_ext_count , .Fn X509_CRL_get_ext , .Fn X509_CRL_get_ext_by_NID , .Fn X509_CRL_get_ext_by_OBJ , .Fn X509_CRL_get_ext_by_critical , .Fn X509_CRL_delete_ext , and .Fn X509_CRL_add_ext operate on the extensions of the CRL .Fa x . They are otherwise identical to the X509v3 functions. .Pp .Fn X509_REVOKED_get_ext_count , .Fn X509_REVOKED_get_ext , .Fn X509_REVOKED_get_ext_by_NID , .Fn X509_REVOKED_get_ext_by_OBJ , .Fn X509_REVOKED_get_ext_by_critical , .Fn X509_REVOKED_delete_ext , and .Fn X509_REVOKED_add_ext operate on the extensions of the CRL entry .Fa x . They are otherwise identical to the X509v3 functions. .Pp These functions are used to examine stacks of extensions directly. Many applications will want to parse or encode and add an extension: they should use the extension encode and decode functions instead such as .Xr X509_get_ext_d2i 3 . .Pp Extension indices start from zero, so a zero index return value is not an error. These search functions start from the extension .Em after the .Fa lastpos parameter, so it should initially be set to -1. If it is set to 0, the initial extension will not be checked. .Sh RETURN VALUES .Fn X509v3_get_ext_count returns the extension count. .Pp .Fn X509v3_get_ext , .Fn X509v3_delete_ext , and .Fn X509_delete_ext return an .Vt X509_EXTENSION pointer or .Dv NULL if an error occurs. .Pp .Fn X509v3_get_ext_by_NID , .Fn X509v3_get_ext_by_OBJ , and .Fn X509v3_get_ext_by_critical return the extension index or -1 if an error occurs. .Pp .Fn X509v3_add_ext returns a stack of extensions or .Dv NULL on error. .Pp .Fn X509_add_ext returns 1 on success or 0 on error. .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr X509_CRL_new 3 , .Xr X509_EXTENSION_new 3 , .Xr X509_new 3 , .Xr X509_REVOKED_new 3 , .Xr X509V3_EXT_print 3 , .Xr X509V3_extensions_print 3 , .Xr X509V3_get_d2i 3 .Sh HISTORY These functions first appeared in SSLeay 0.8.0 and have been available since .Ox 2.4 .
