     X509_NAME_print_ex, X509_NAME_print_ex_fp, X509_NAME_print,
     X509_NAME_oneline - X509_NAME printing routines.

     X509_NAME_print_ex() prints a human readable version of nnnnmmmm
     to BIO oooouuuutttt. Each line (for multiline formats) is indented by
     iiiinnnnddddeeeennnntttt spaces. The output format can be extensively
     customised by use of the ffffllllaaaaggggssss parameter.

     X509_NAME_print_ex_fp() is identical to X509_NAME_print_ex()
     except the output is written to FILE pointer ffffpppp.

     X509_NAME_oneline() prints an ASCII version of aaaa to bbbbuuuuffff. At
     most ssssiiiizzzzeeee bytes will be written. If bbbbuuuuffff is NNNNUUUULLLLLLLL then a
     buffer is dynamically allocated and returned, otherwise bbbbuuuuffff
     is returned.

     X509_NAME_print() prints out nnnnaaaammmmeeee to bbbbpppp indenting each line
     by oooobbbbaaaasssseeee characters. Multiple lines are used if the output
     (including indent) exceeds 80 characters.

     The functions X509_NAME_oneline() and X509_NAME_print() 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 XXXXNNNN_FFFFLLLLAAAAGGGG_OOOONNNNEEEELLLLIIIINNNNEEEE, XXXXNNNN_FFFFLLLLAAAAGGGG_MMMMUUUULLLLTTTTIIIILLLLIIIINNNNEEEE or
     XXXXNNNN_FFFFLLLLAAAAGGGG_RRRRFFFFCCCC2222222255553333 will suffice.  As noted on the
     ASN1_STRING_print_ex(3) manual page for UTF8 terminals the
     AAAASSSSNNNN1111_SSSSTTTTRRRRFFFFLLLLGGGGSSSS_EEEESSSSCCCC_MMMMSSSSBBBB should be unset: so for example
     XXXXNNNN_FFFFLLLLAAAAGGGG_OOOONNNNEEEELLLLIIIINNNNEEEE &&&& ~~~~AAAASSSSNNNN1111_SSSSTTTTRRRRFFFFLLLLGGGGSSSS_EEEESSSSCCCC_MMMMSSSSBBBB would be used.

     The complete set of the flags supported by
     X509_NAME_print_ex() is listed below.

     Several options can be ored together.

     The options XXXXNNNN_FFFFLLLLAAAAGGGG_SSSSEEEEPPPP_CCCCOOOOMMMMMMMMAAAA_PPPPLLLLUUUUSSSS, XXXXNNNN_FFFFLLLLAAAAGGGG_SSSSEEEEPPPP_CCCCPPPPLLLLUUUUSSSS_SSSSPPPPCCCC,
     XXXXNNNN_FFFFLLLLAAAAGGGG_SSSSEEEEPPPP_SSSSPPPPLLLLUUUUSSSS_SSSSPPPPCCCC and XXXXNNNN_FFFFLLLLAAAAGGGG_SSSSEEEEPPPP_MMMMUUUULLLLTTTTIIIILLLLIIIINNNNEEEE determine

     the field separators to use. Two distinct separators are
     used between distinct RelativeDistinguishedName components
     and separate values in the same RDN for a multi-valued RDN.
     Multi-valued RDNs are currently very rare so the second
     separator will hardly ever be used.

     XXXXNNNN_FFFFLLLLAAAAGGGG_SSSSEEEEPPPP_CCCCOOOOMMMMMMMMAAAA_PPPPLLLLUUUUSSSS uses comma and plus as separators.
     XXXXNNNN_FFFFLLLLAAAAGGGG_SSSSEEEEPPPP_CCCCPPPPLLLLUUUUSSSS_SSSSPPPPCCCC uses comma and plus with spaces: this
     is more readable that plain comma and plus.
     XXXXNNNN_FFFFLLLLAAAAGGGG_SSSSEEEEPPPP_SSSSPPPPLLLLUUUUSSSS_SSSSPPPPCCCC uses spaced semicolon and plus.
     XXXXNNNN_FFFFLLLLAAAAGGGG_SSSSEEEEPPPP_MMMMUUUULLLLTTTTIIIILLLLIIIINNNNEEEE uses spaced newline and plus
     respectively.

     If XXXXNNNN_FFFFLLLLAAAAGGGG_DDDDNNNN_RRRREEEEVVVV is set the whole DN is printed in reversed
     order.

     The fields XXXXNNNN_FFFFLLLLAAAAGGGG_FFFFNNNN_SSSSNNNN, XXXXNNNN_FFFFLLLLAAAAGGGG_FFFFNNNN_LLLLNNNN, XXXXNNNN_FFFFLLLLAAAAGGGG_FFFFNNNN_OOOOIIIIDDDD,
     XXXXNNNN_FFFFLLLLAAAAGGGG_FFFFNNNN_NNNNOOOONNNNEEEE 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 XXXXNNNN_FFFFLLLLAAAAGGGG_SSSSPPPPCCCC_EEEEQQQQ is set then spaces will be placed around
     the '=' character separating field names and values.

     If XXXXNNNN_FFFFLLLLAAAAGGGG_DDDDUUUUMMMMPPPP_UUUUNNNNKKKKNNNNOOOOWWWWNNNN_FFFFIIIIEEEELLLLDDDDSSSS is set then the encoding of
     unknown fields is printed instead of the values.

     If XXXXNNNN_FFFFLLLLAAAAGGGG_FFFFNNNN_AAAALLLLIIIIGGGGNNNN is set then field names are padded to 20
     characters: this is only of use for multiline format.

     Additionally all the options supported by
     ASN1_STRING_print_ex() can be used to control how each field
     value is displayed.

     In addition a number options can be set for commonly used
     formats.

     XXXXNNNN_FFFFLLLLAAAAGGGG_RRRRFFFFCCCC2222222255553333 sets options which produce an output
     compatible with RFC2253 it is equivalent to:
      AAAASSSSNNNN1111_SSSSTTTTRRRRFFFFLLLLGGGGSSSS_RRRRFFFFCCCC2222222255553333 |||| XXXXNNNN_FFFFLLLLAAAAGGGG_SSSSEEEEPPPP_CCCCOOOOMMMMMMMMAAAA_PPPPLLLLUUUUSSSS ||||

     XXXXNNNN_FFFFLLLLAAAAGGGG_OOOONNNNEEEELLLLIIIINNNNEEEE is a more readable one line format which is
     the same as:
      AAAASSSSNNNN1111_SSSSTTTTRRRRFFFFLLLLGGGGSSSS_RRRRFFFFCCCC2222222255553333 |||| AAAASSSSNNNN1111_SSSSTTTTRRRRFFFFLLLLGGGGSSSS_EEEESSSSCCCC_QQQQUUUUOOOOTTTTEEEE ||||

     XXXXNNNN_FFFFLLLLAAAAGGGG_MMMMUUUULLLLTTTTIIIILLLLIIIINNNNEEEE is a multiline format which is the same
     as:
      AAAASSSSNNNN1111_SSSSTTTTRRRRFFFFLLLLGGGGSSSS_EEEESSSSCCCC_CCCCTTTTRRRRLLLL |||| AAAASSSSNNNN1111_SSSSTTTTRRRRFFFFLLLLGGGGSSSS_EEEESSSSCCCC_MMMMSSSSBBBB ||||
