DESCRIPTION
X509V3_get_d2i() looks for an extension with OID nid in the extensions x and, if found, decodes it. If idx is NULL, then only one occurrence of an extension is permissible. Otherwise the first extension after index *idx is returned and *idx is updated to the location of the extension. If crit is not NULL, then *crit is set to a status value: -2 if the extension occurs multiple times (this is only returned if idx is NULL), -1 if the extension could not be found, 0 if the extension is found and is not critical, and 1 if it is critical. A pointer to an extension specific structure or NULL is returned.

X509V3_add1_i2d() adds extension value to STACK *x (allocating a new STACK if necessary) using OID nid and criticality crit according to flags.

X509V3_EXT_d2i() attempts to decode the ASN.1 data contained in extension ext and returns a pointer to an extension specific structure or NULL if the extension could not be decoded (invalid syntax or not supported).

X509V3_EXT_i2d() encodes the extension specific structure ext with OID ext_nid and criticality crit.

X509_get_ext_d2i() and X509_add1_ext_i2d() operate on the extensions of certificate x, and are otherwise identical to X509V3_get_d2i() and X509V3_add1_i2d(3).

X509_CRL_get_ext_d2i() and X509_CRL_add1_ext_i2d() operate on the extensions of CRL crl, and are otherwise identical to X509V3_get_d2i() and X509V3_add1_i2d(3).

X509_REVOKED_get_ext_d2i() and X509_REVOKED_add1_ext_i2d() operate on the extensions of the X509_REVOKED structure r (i.e. for CRL entry extensions), and are otherwise identical to X509V3_get_d2i() and X509V3_add1_i2d(3).

In almost all cases an extension can occur at most once and multiple occurrences is an error. Therefore the idx parameter is usually NULL.

The flags parameter may be one of the following values.

X509V3_ADD_DEFAULT appends a new extension only if the extension does not already exist. An error is returned if the extension does already exist.

X509V3_ADD_APPEND appends a new extension, ignoring whether the extension already exists.

X509V3_ADD_REPLACE replaces an extension if it exists otherwise appends a new extension.

X509V3_ADD_REPLACE_EXISTING replaces an existing extension if it exists otherwise returns an error.

X509V3_ADD_KEEP_EXISTING appends a new extension only if the extension does not already exist. An error is not returned if the extension does already exist.

X509V3_ADD_DELETE deletes extension nid. No new extension is added.

If X509V3_ADD_SILENT is OR'd with flags, any error returned will not be added to the error queue.

The function X509V3_get_d2i() will return NULL if the extension is not found, occurs multiple times or cannot be decoded. It is possible to determine the precise reason by checking the value of *crit.

RETURN VALUES
X509V3_get_d2i() and X509V3_EXT_d2i() return a pointer to an extension specific structure or NULL if an error occurs.

X509V3_EXT_i2d() returns a pointer to an X509_EXTENSION structure or NULL if an error occurs.

X509V3_add1_i2d() returns 1 if the operation is successful, 0 if it fails due to a non-fatal error (extension not found, already exists, cannot be encoded), or -1 due to a fatal error such as a memory allocation failure.
