NAME
X509_get_subject_name, X509_set_subject_name, X509_get_issuer_name,
X509_set_issuer_name, X509_REQ_get_subject_name,
X509_REQ_set_subject_name, X509_CRL_get_issuer,
X509_CRL_set_issuer_name - get and set issuer or subject names
SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/x509.h>
X509_NAME *X509_get_subject_name(const X509 *x);
int X509_set_subject_name(X509 *x, X509_NAME *name);
X509_NAME *X509_get_issuer_name(const X509 *x);
int X509_set_issuer_name(X509 *x, X509_NAME *name);
X509_NAME *X509_REQ_get_subject_name(const X509_REQ *req);
int X509_REQ_set_subject_name(X509_REQ *req, X509_NAME *name);
X509_NAME *X509_CRL_get_issuer(const X509_CRL *crl);
int X509_CRL_set_issuer_name(X509_CRL *x, X509_NAME *name);
DESCRIPTION
X509_get_subject_name() returns the subject name of certificate x. The
returned value is an internal pointer which MUST NOT be freed.
X509_set_subject_name() sets the issuer name of certificate x to name.
The name parameter is copied internally and should be freed up when it
is no longer needed.
X509_get_issuer_name() and X509_set_issuer_name() are identical to
X509_get_subject_name() and X509_set_subject_name() except the get and
set the issuer name of x.
Similarly X509_REQ_get_subject_name(), X509_REQ_set_subject_name(),
X509_CRL_get_issuer() and X509_CRL_set_issuer_name() get or set the
subject or issuer names of certificate requests of CRLs respectively.
RETURN VALUES
X509_get_subject_name(), X509_get_issuer_name(),
X509_REQ_get_subject_name() and X509_CRL_get_issuer() return an
X509_NAME pointer.
X509_set_subject_name(), X509_set_issuer_name(),
X509_REQ_set_subject_name() and X509_CRL_set_issuer_name() return 1 for
success and 0 for failure.
