  187. The \s-1ASN1\s0 object utility functions process \s-1ASN1_OBJECT\s0 structures which are
  188. a representation of the \s-1ASN1 OBJECT IDENTIFIER\s0 (\s-1OID\s0) type.
  189. For convenience, OIDs are usually represented in source code as numeric
  190. identifiers, or \fB\s-1NID\s0\fRs. OpenSSL has an internal table of OIDs that
  191. are generated when the library is built, and their corresponding NIDs
  192. are available as defined constants. For the functions below, application
  193. code should treat all returned values \*(-- OIDs, NIDs, or names \*(-- as
  194. constants.
  195. .PP
  196. \&\fBOBJ_nid2obj()\fR, \fBOBJ_nid2ln()\fR and \fBOBJ_nid2sn()\fR convert the \s-1NID\s0 \fIn\fR to
  197. an \s-1ASN1_OBJECT\s0 structure, its long name and its short name respectively,
  198. or \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR if an error occurred.
  199. .PP
  200. \&\fBOBJ_obj2nid()\fR, \fBOBJ_ln2nid()\fR, \fBOBJ_sn2nid()\fR return the corresponding \s-1NID\s0
  201. for the object \fIo\fR, the long name \fIln\fR or the short name \fIsn\fR respectively
  202. or NID_undef if an error occurred.
  203. .PP
  204. \&\fBOBJ_txt2nid()\fR returns \s-1NID\s0 corresponding to text string \fIs\fR. \fIs\fR can be
  205. a long name, a short name or the numerical representation of an object.
  206. .PP
  207. \&\fBOBJ_txt2obj()\fR converts the text string \fIs\fR into an \s-1ASN1_OBJECT\s0 structure.
  208. If \fIno_name\fR is 0 then long names and short names will be interpreted
  209. as well as numerical forms. If \fIno_name\fR is 1 only the numerical form
  210. is acceptable.
  211. .PP
  212. \&\fBOBJ_obj2txt()\fR converts the \fB\s-1ASN1_OBJECT\s0\fR \fIa\fR into a textual representation.
  213. Unless \fIbuf\fR is \s-1NULL,\s0
  214. the representation is written as a NUL-terminated string to \fIbuf\fR, where
  215. at most \fIbuf_len\fR bytes are written, truncating the result if necessary.
  216. In any case it returns the total string length, excluding the \s-1NUL\s0 character,
  217. required for non-truncated representation, or \-1 on error.
  218. If \fIno_name\fR is 0 then if the object has a long or short name
  219. then that will be used, otherwise the numerical form will be used.
  220. If \fIno_name\fR is 1 then the numerical form will always be used.
  221. .PP
  222. \&\fBi2t_ASN1_OBJECT()\fR is the same as \fBOBJ_obj2txt()\fR with the \fIno_name\fR set to zero.
  223. .PP
  224. \&\fBOBJ_cmp()\fR compares \fIa\fR to \fIb\fR. If the two are identical 0 is returned.
  225. .PP
  226. \&\fBOBJ_dup()\fR returns a copy of \fIo\fR.
  227. .PP
  228. \&\fBOBJ_create()\fR adds a new object to the internal table. \fIoid\fR is the
  229. numerical form of the object, \fIsn\fR the short name and \fIln\fR the
  230. long name. A new \s-1NID\s0 is returned for the created object in case of
  231. success and NID_undef in case of failure. Any of \fIoid\fR, \fIsn\fR and
  232. \&\fIln\fR may be \s-1NULL,\s0 but not all at once.
  233. .PP
  234. \&\fBOBJ_length()\fR returns the size of the content octets of \fIobj\fR.
  235. .PP
  236. \&\fBOBJ_get0_data()\fR returns a pointer to the content octets of \fIobj\fR.
  237. The returned pointer is an internal pointer which \fBmust not\fR be freed.
  238. .PP
  239. \&\fBOBJ_add_sigid()\fR creates a new composite \*(L"Signature Algorithm\*(R" that associates a
  240. given \s-1NID\s0 with two other NIDs \- one representing the underlying signature
  241. algorithm and the other representing a digest algorithm to be used in
  242. conjunction with it. \fIsignid\fR represents the \s-1NID\s0 for the composite \*(L"Signature
  243. Algorithm\*(R", \fIdig_id\fR is the \s-1NID\s0 for the digest algorithm and \fIpkey_id\fR is the
  244. \&\s-1NID\s0 for the underlying signature algorithm. As there are signature algorithms
  245. that do not require a digest, NID_undef is a valid \fIdig_id\fR.
  246. .PP
  247. \&\fBOBJ_cleanup()\fR releases any resources allocated by creating new objects.
  248. .SH "NOTES"
  249. .IX Header "NOTES"
  250. Objects in OpenSSL can have a short name, a long name and a numerical
  251. identifier (\s-1NID\s0) associated with them. A standard set of objects is
  252. represented in an internal table. The appropriate values are defined
  253. in the header file \fBobjects.h\fR.
  254. .PP
  255. For example the \s-1OID\s0 for commonName has the following definitions:
  256. .PP
  257. .Vb 3
  258. \& #define SN_commonName "CN"
  259. \& #define LN_commonName "commonName"
  260. \& #define NID_commonName 13
  261. .Ve
  262. .PP
  263. New objects can be added by calling \fBOBJ_create()\fR.
  264. .PP
  265. Table objects have certain advantages over other objects: for example
  266. their NIDs can be used in a C language switch statement. They are
  267. also static constant structures which are shared: that is there
  268. is only a single constant structure for each table object.
  269. .PP
  270. Objects which are not in the table have the \s-1NID\s0 value NID_undef.
  271. .PP
  272. Objects do not need to be in the internal tables to be processed,
  273. the functions \fBOBJ_txt2obj()\fR and \fBOBJ_obj2txt()\fR can process the numerical
  274. form of an \s-1OID.\s0
  275. .PP
  276. Some objects are used to represent algorithms which do not have a
  277. corresponding \s-1ASN.1 OBJECT IDENTIFIER\s0 encoding (for example no \s-1OID\s0 currently
  278. exists for a particular algorithm). As a result they \fBcannot\fR be encoded or
  279. decoded as part of \s-1ASN.1\s0 structures. Applications can determine if there
  280. is a corresponding \s-1OBJECT IDENTIFIER\s0 by checking \fBOBJ_length()\fR is not zero.
  281. .PP
  282. These functions cannot return \fBconst\fR because an \fB\s-1ASN1_OBJECT\s0\fR can
  283. represent both an internal, constant, \s-1OID\s0 and a dynamically-created one.
  284. The latter cannot be constant because it needs to be freed after use.
  285. .PP
  286. These functions were not thread safe in OpenSSL 3.0 and before.
