NAME
X509NAMEprintex, X509NAMEprintexfp, X509NAMEprint,
X509NAMEoneline - X509NAME printing routines.
SYNOPSIS
#include
int X509NAMEprintex(BIO *out, X509NAME *nm, int indent, unsigned long flags);
int X509NAMEprintexfp(FILE *fp, X509NAME *nm, int indent, unsigned long flags);
char * X509NAMEoneline(X509NAME *a,char *buf,int size);
int X509NAMEprint(BIO *bp, X509NAME *name, int obase);
DESCRIPTION
X509NAMEprintex() prints a human readable version of nnmm to BIO oouutt.
Each line (for multiline formats) is indented by iinnddeenntt spaces. The output format can be extensively customised by use of the ffllaaggss parameter.X509NAMEprintexfp() is identical to X509NAMEprintex() except the
output is written to FILE pointer ffpp.X509NAMEoneline() prints an ASCII version of aa to bbuuff. At most ssiizzee
bytes will be written. If bbuuff is NNUULLLL then a buffer is dynamically allocated and returned, otherwise bbuuff is returned.X509NAMEprint() prints out nnaammee to bbpp indenting each line by oobbaassee
characters. Multiple lines are used if the output (including indent) exceeds 80 characters. NNOOTTEESSThe functions X509NAMEoneline() and X509NAMEprint() are legacy
functions which produce a non standard output form, they don't handle multi character fields and have various quirks and inconsistencies. Their use is strongly discouraged in new applications. Although there are a large number of possible flags for most purposes XXNNFFLLAAGGOONNEELLIINNEE, XXNNFFLLAAGGMMUULLTTIILLIINNEE or XXNNFFLLAAGGRRFFCC22225533 will suffice. As noted on the ASN1STRINGprintex(3) manual page for UTF8 terminals the AASSNN11SSTTRRFFLLGGSSEESSCCMMSSBB should be unset: so for example XXNNFFLLAAGGOONNEELLIINNEE && ~~AASSNN11SSTTRRFFLLGGSSEESSCCMMSSBB would be used.The complete set of the flags supported by X509NAMEprintex() is
listed below. Several options can be ored together. The options XXNNFFLLAAGGSSEEPPCCOOMMMMAAPPLLUUSS, XXNNFFLLAAGGSSEEPPCCPPLLUUSSSSPPCC, XXNNFFLLAAGGSSEEPPSSPPLLUUSSSSPPCC and XXNNFFLLAAGGSSEEPPMMUULLTTIILLIINNEE determine the field separators to use. Two distinct separators are used between distinct RelativeDistinguishedName components and separate values in the sameRDN for a multi-valued RDN. Multi-valued RDNs are currently very rare
so the second separator will hardly ever be used. XXNNFFLLAAGGSSEEPPCCOOMMMMAAPPLLUUSS uses comma and plus as separators. XXNNFFLLAAGGSSEEPPCCPPLLUUSSSSPPCC uses comma and plus with spaces: this is more readable that plain comma and plus. XXNNFFLLAAGGSSEEPPSSPPLLUUSSSSPPCC uses spaced semicolon and plus. XXNNFFLLAAGGSSEEPPMMUULLTTIILLIINNEE uses spaced newline and plus respectively. If XXNNFFLLAAGGDDNNRREEVV is set the whole DN is printed in reversed order. The fields XXNNFFLLAAGGFFNNSSNN, XXNNFFLLAAGGFFNNLLNN, XXNNFFLLAAGGFFNNOOIIDD, XXNNFFLLAAGGFFNNNNOONNEE determine how a field name is displayed. It will use the short name (e.g. CN) the long name (e.g. commonName) always use OID numerical form (normally OIDs are only used if the field name is not recognised) and no field name respectively. If XXNNFFLLAAGGSSPPCCEEQQ is set then spaces will be placed around the '=' character separating field names and values. If XXNNFFLLAAGGDDUUMMPPUUNNKKNNOOWWNNFFIIEELLDDSS is set then the encoding of unknown fields is printed instead of the values. If XXNNFFLLAAGGFFNNAALLIIGGNN is set then field names are padded to 20 characters: this is only of use for multiline format. Additionally all the options supported by ASN1STRINGprintex() can be used to control how each field value is displayed. In addition a number options can be set for commonly used formats. XXNNFFLLAAGGRRFFCC22225533 sets options which produce an output compatible with RFC2253 it is equivalent to: AASSNN11SSTTRRFFLLGGSSRRFFCC22225533 || XXNNFFLLAAGGSSEEPPCCOOMMMMAAPPLLUUSS || XXNNFFLLAAGGDDNNRREEVV || XXNNFFLLAAGGFFNNSSNN || XXNNFFLLAAGGDDUUMMPPUUNNKKNNOOWWNNFFIIEELLDDSS XXNNFFLLAAGGOONNEELLIINNEE is a more readable one line format it is the same as: AASSNN11SSTTRRFFLLGGSSRRFFCC22225533 || AASSNN11SSTTRRFFLLGGSSEESSCCQQUUOOTTEE || XXNNFFLLAAGGSSEEPPCCPPLLUUSSSSPPCC || XXNNFFLLAAGGSSPPCCEEQQ || XXNNFFLLAAGGFFNNSSNN XXNNFFLLAAGGMMUULLTTIILLIINNEE is a multiline format is is the same as: AASSNN11SSTTRRFFLLGGSSEESSCCCCTTRRLL || AASSNN11SSTTRRFFLLGGSSEESSCCMMSSBB || XXNNFFLLAAGGSSEEPPMMUULLTTIILLIINNEE || XXNNFFLLAAGGSSPPCCEEQQ || XXNNFFLLAAGGFFNNLLNN || XXNNFFLLAAGGFFNNAALLIIGGNNXXNNFFLLAAGGCCOOMMPPAATT uses a format identical to X509NAMEprint(): in fact it
calls X509NAMEprint() internally.
