.Sh NAME
.Nm X509v3_addr_subset ,
.Nm X509v3_asid_subset
.Nd RFC 3779 subset relationship
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In openssl/x509v3.h
.Ft int
.Fn X509v3_addr_subset "IPAddrBlocks *child" "IPAddrBlocks *parent"
.Ft int
.Fn X509v3_asid_subset "ASIdentifiers *child" "ASIdentifiers *parent"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Fn X509v3_addr_subset
determines if all IP address resources present in
.Fa child
are contained in the corresponding resources in
.Fa parent .
.Pp
The implementation assumes but does not ensure that both
.Fa child
and
.Fa parent
are in canonical form as described in
.Xr X509v3_addr_is_canonical 3 .
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.
