.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fBX509_ATTRIBUTE\fR objects are used by many standards including X509, X509_REQ,
PKCS12, PKCS8, PKCS7 and CMS.
.PP
The \fBX509_ATTRIBUTE\fR object is used to represent the ASN.1 Attribute as defined
in RFC 5280, i.e.
.PP
.Vb 3
\& Attribute ::= SEQUENCE {
\&   type             AttributeType,
\&   values    SET OF AttributeValue }
\&
\& AttributeType ::= OBJECT IDENTIFIER
\& AttributeValue ::= ANY \-\- DEFINED BY AttributeType
.Ve
.PP
For example CMS defines the signing-time attribute as:
.PP
.Vb 2
\&  id\-signingTime OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { iso(1) member\-body(2)
\&      us(840) rsadsi(113549) pkcs(1) pkcs9(9) 5 }
\&
\&  SigningTime ::= Time
\&
\&  Time ::= CHOICE {
\&    utcTime UTCTime,
\&    generalizedTime GeneralizedTime }
.Ve
.PP
In OpenSSL \fBAttributeType\fR maps to an \fBASN1_OBJECT\fR object
and \fBAttributeValue\fR maps to a list of \fBASN1_TYPE\fR objects.
.PP
The following functions are used for \fBX509_ATTRIBUTE\fR objects.
.PP
\&\fBX509at_get_attr_by_OBJ()\fR finds the location of the first matching object \fIobj\fR
in a list of attributes \fIsk\fR. The search starts at the position after \fIlastpos\fR.
If the returned value is positive then it can be used on the next call to
\&\fBX509at_get_attr_by_OBJ()\fR as the value of \fIlastpos\fR in order to iterate through
the remaining attributes. \fIlastpos\fR can be set to any negative value on the
first call, in order to start searching from the start of the list.
.PP
\&\fBX509at_get_attr_by_NID()\fR is similar to \fBX509at_get_attr_by_OBJ()\fR except that it
passes the numerical identifier (NID) \fInid\fR associated with the object.
See <openssl/obj_mac.h> for a list of NID_*.
.PP
\&\fBX509at_get_attr()\fR returns the \fBX509_ATTRIBUTE\fR object at index \fIloc\fR in the
list of attributes \fIx\fR. \fIloc\fR should be in the range from 0 to
\&\fBX509at_get_attr_count()\fR \- 1.
.PP
\&\fBX509at_delete_attr()\fR removes the \fBX509_ATTRIBUTE\fR object at index \fIloc\fR in
the list of attributes \fIx\fR.
.PP
\&\fBX509at_add1_attr()\fR pushes a copy of the passed in \fBX509_ATTRIBUTE\fR object
to the list \fIx\fR.
Both \fIx\fR and \fIattr\fR must be non NULL or an error will occur.
If \fI*x\fR is NULL then a new list is created, otherwise it uses the
passed in list. An error will occur if an existing attribute (with the same
attribute type) already exists in the attribute list.
.PP
\&\fBX509at_add1_attr_by_OBJ()\fR creates a new \fBX509_ATTRIBUTE\fR using
\&\fBX509_ATTRIBUTE_set1_object()\fR and \fBX509_ATTRIBUTE_set1_data()\fR to assign a new
\&\fIobj\fR with type \fItype\fR and data \fIbytes\fR of length \fIlen\fR and then pushes it
to the attribute list \fIx\fR. Both \fIx\fR and \fIattr\fR must be non NULL or an error
will occur. If \fI*x\fR is NULL then a new attribute list is created. If \fIobj\fR
already exists in the attribute list then an error occurs.
.PP
\&\fBX509at_add1_attr_by_NID()\fR is similar to \fBX509at_add1_attr_by_OBJ()\fR except that it
passes the numerical identifier (NID) \fInid\fR associated with the object.
See <openssl/obj_mac.h> for a list of NID_*.
.PP
\&\fBX509at_add1_attr_by_txt()\fR is similar to \fBX509at_add1_attr_by_OBJ()\fR except that it
passes a name \fIattrname\fR associated with the object.
See <openssl/obj_mac.h> for a list of SN_* names.
.PP
\&\fBX509_ATTRIBUTE_set1_object()\fR assigns a \fBASN1_OBJECT\fR \fIobj\fR
to the attribute \fIattr\fR. If \fIattr\fR contained an existing \fBASN1_OBJECT\fR then
it is freed. An error occurs if either \fIattr\fR or \fIobj\fR are NULL, or if
the passed in \fIobj\fR cannot be duplicated.
.PP
\&\fBX509_ATTRIBUTE_set1_data()\fR pushes a new \fBASN1_TYPE\fR object onto the \fIattr\fR
attributes list. The new object is assigned a copy of the data in \fIdata\fR of
size \fIlen\fR.
If \fIattrtype\fR has flag \fIMBSTRING_FLAG\fR set then a table lookup using the
\&\fIattr\fR attributes NID is used to set an \fBASN1_STRING\fR using
\&\fBASN1_STRING_set_by_NID()\fR, and the passed in \fIdata\fR must be in the format
required for that object type or an error will occur.
If \fIlen\fR is not \-1 then internally \fBASN1_STRING_type_new()\fR is
used with the passed in \fIattrtype\fR.
If \fIattrtype\fR is 0 the call does nothing except return 1.
.PP
\&\fBX509_ATTRIBUTE_create()\fR creates a new \fBX509_ATTRIBUTE\fR using the \fInid\fR
to set the \fBASN1_OBJECT\fR OID and the \fIatrtype\fR and \fIvalue\fR to set the
\&\fBASN1_TYPE\fR.
.PP
\&\fBX509_ATTRIBUTE_create_by_OBJ()\fR uses \fBX509_ATTRIBUTE_set1_object()\fR and
\&\fBX509_ATTRIBUTE_set1_data()\fR to assign a new \fIobj\fR with type \fIatrtype\fR and
data \fIdata\fR of length \fIlen\fR. If the passed in attribute \fIattr\fR OR \fI*attr\fR is
NULL then a new \fBX509_ATTRIBUTE\fR will be returned, otherwise the passed in
\&\fBX509_ATTRIBUTE\fR is used. Note that the ASN1_OBJECT \fIobj\fR is pushed onto the
attributes existing list of objects, which could be an issue if the attributes
<ASN1_OBJECT> was different.
.PP
\&\fBX509_ATTRIBUTE_create_by_NID()\fR is similar to \fBX509_ATTRIBUTE_create_by_OBJ()\fR
except that it passes the numerical identifier (NID) \fInid\fR associated with the
object. See <openssl/obj_mac.h> for a list of NID_*.
.PP
\&\fBX509_ATTRIBUTE_create_by_txt()\fR is similar to \fBX509_ATTRIBUTE_create_by_OBJ()\fR
except that it passes a name \fIatrname\fR associated with the
object. See <openssl/obj_mac.h> for a list of SN_* names.
.PP
\&\fBX509_ATTRIBUTE_count()\fR returns the number of \fBASN1_TYPE\fR objects in an
attribute \fIattr\fR.
.PP
\&\fBX509_ATTRIBUTE_get0_type()\fR returns the \fBASN1_TYPE\fR object at index \fIidx\fR in
the attribute list \fIattr\fR. \fIidx\fR should be in the
range of 0 to \fBX509_ATTRIBUTE_count()\fR \- 1 or an error will occur.
.PP
\&\fBX509_ATTRIBUTE_get0_data()\fR returns the data of an \fBASN1_TYPE\fR object at
index \fIidx\fR in the attribute \fIattr\fR. \fIdata\fR is unused and can be set to NULL.
An error will occur if the attribute type \fIatrtype\fR does not match the type of
the \fBASN1_TYPE\fR object at index \fIidx\fR OR if \fIatrtype\fR is either
\&\fBV_ASN1_BOOLEAN\fR or \fBV_ASN1_NULL\fR OR if the \fIidx\fR is not in the
range 0 to \fBX509_ATTRIBUTE_count()\fR \- 1.
.PP
\&\fBX509at_get0_data_by_OBJ()\fR finds the first attribute in an attribute list \fIx\fR
that matches the \fIobj\fR starting at index \fIlastpos\fR and returns the data
retrieved from the found attributes first \fBASN1_TYPE\fR object. An error will
occur if the attribute type \fItype\fR does not match the type of the \fBASN1_TYPE\fR
object OR if \fItype\fR is either \fBV_ASN1_BOOLEAN\fR or \fBV_ASN1_NULL\fR OR the
attribute is not found.
If \fIlastpos\fR is less than \-1 then an error will occur if there are multiple
objects in the list \fIx\fR that match \fIobj\fR.
If \fIlastpos\fR is less than \-2 then an error will occur if there is more than
one \fBASN1_TYPE\fR object in the found attribute.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
