X509_REQ_NEW(3)       DragonFly Library Functions Manual       X509_REQ_NEW(3)


NAME

     X509_REQ_new, X509_REQ_free, X509_REQ_INFO_new, X509_REQ_INFO_free --
     PKCS#10 certification requests


SYNOPSIS

     #include <openssl/x509.h>

     X509_REQ *
     X509_REQ_new(void);

     void
     X509_REQ_free(X509_REQ *req);

     X509_REQ_INFO *
     X509_REQ_INFO_new(void);

     void
     X509_REQ_INFO_free(X509_REQ_INFO *req_info);


DESCRIPTION

     X509_REQ_new() allocates and initializes an empty X509_REQ object, repre-
     senting an ASN.1 CertificationRequest structure defined in RFC 2986 sec-
     tion 4.2.	It can hold a pointer to an X509_REQ_INFO object discussed
     below together with a cryptographic signature and information about the
     signature algorithm used.	X509_REQ_free() frees req.  If req is a NULL
     pointer, no action occurs.

     X509_REQ_INFO_new() allocates and initializes an empty X509_REQ_INFO
     object, representing an ASN.1 CertificationRequestInfo structure defined
     in RFC 2986 section 4.1.  It is used inside the X509_REQ object and can
     hold the subject and the public key of the requested certificate and
     additional attributes.  X509_REQ_INFO_free() frees req_info.  If req_info
     is a NULL pointer, no action occurs.


RETURN VALUES

     X509_REQ_new() and X509_REQ_INFO_new() return the new X509_REQ or
     X509_REQ_INFO object, respectively, or NULL if an error occurs.
