165.Sh DESCRIPTION
166These functions decode and encode X.509 certificates
167and some of their substructures.
168For details about the semantics, examples, caveats, and bugs, see
169.Xr ASN1_item_d2i 3 .
170.Pp
171.Fn d2i_X509
172and
173.Fn i2d_X509
174decode and encode an ASN.1
175.Vt Certificate
176structure defined in RFC 5280 section 4.1.
177.Pp
178.Fn d2i_X509_bio ,
179.Fn d2i_X509_fp ,
180.Fn i2d_X509_bio ,
181and
182.Fn i2d_X509_fp
183are similar except that they decode or encode using a
184.Vt BIO
185or
186.Vt FILE
187pointer.
188.Pp
189.Fn d2i_X509_AUX
190is similar to
191.Fn d2i_X509 ,
192but the input is expected to consist of an X.509 certificate followed
193by auxiliary trust information.
194This is used by the PEM routines to read TRUSTED CERTIFICATE objects.
195This function should not be called on untrusted input.
196.Pp
197.Fn i2d_X509_AUX
198is similar to
199.Fn i2d_X509 ,
200but the encoded output contains both the certificate and any auxiliary
201trust information.
202This is used by the PEM routines to write TRUSTED CERTIFICATE objects.
203Note that this is a non-standard OpenSSL-specific data format.
204.Pp
205.Fn d2i_X509_CERT_AUX
206and
207.Fn i2d_X509_CERT_AUX
208decode and encode optional non-standard auxiliary data appended to
209a certificate, for example friendly alias names and trust data.
210.Pp
211.Fn d2i_X509_CINF
212and
213.Fn i2d_X509_CINF
214decode and encode an ASN.1
215.Vt TBSCertificate
216structure defined in RFC 5280 section 4.1.
217.Pp
218.Fn d2i_X509_VAL
219and
220.Fn i2d_X509_VAL
221decode and encode an ASN.1
222.Vt Validity
223structure defined in RFC 5280 section 4.1.

225.Fn d2i_X509 ,
226.Fn d2i_X509_bio ,
227.Fn d2i_X509_fp ,
228and
229.Fn d2i_X509_AUX
230return a valid
231.Vt X509
232structure or
233.Dv NULL
234if an error occurs.
235.Pp
236.Fn d2i_X509_CERT_AUX ,
237.Fn d2i_X509_CINF ,
238and
239.Fn d2i_X509_VAL
240return an
241.Vt X509_CERT_AUX ,
242.Vt X509_CINF ,
243or
244.Vt X509_VAL
245object, respectively, or
246.Dv NULL
247if an error occurs.

249.Fn i2d_X509 ,
250.Fn i2d_X509_AUX ,
251.Fn i2d_X509_CERT_AUX ,
252.Fn i2d_X509_CINF ,
253and
254.Fn i2d_X509_VAL
255return the number of bytes successfully encoded or a negative value
256if an error occurs.
257.Pp
258.Fn i2d_X509_bio
259and
260.Fn i2d_X509_fp
261return 1 for success or 0 if an error occurs.
