  128. .SH DESCRIPTION
  129. .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
  130. The \fBX509_LOOKUP\fR structure holds the information needed to look up
  131. certificates and CRLs according to an associated \fBX509_LOOKUP_METHOD\fR\|(3).
  132. Multiple \fBX509_LOOKUP\fR instances can be added to an \fBX509_STORE\fR\|(3)
  133. to enable lookup in that store.
  134. .PP
  135. \&\fBX509_LOOKUP_new()\fR creates a new \fBX509_LOOKUP\fR using the given lookup
  136. \&\fImethod\fR.
  137. It can also be created by calling \fBX509_STORE_add_lookup\fR\|(3), which
  138. will associate a \fBX509_STORE\fR with the lookup mechanism.
  139. .PP
  140. \&\fBX509_LOOKUP_init()\fR initializes the internal state and resources as
  141. needed by the given \fBX509_LOOKUP\fR to do its work.
  142. .PP
  143. \&\fBX509_LOOKUP_shutdown()\fR tears down the internal state and resources of
  144. the given \fBX509_LOOKUP\fR.
  145. .PP
  146. \&\fBX509_LOOKUP_free()\fR destructs the given \fBX509_LOOKUP\fR.
  147. If the argument is NULL, nothing is done.
  148. .PP
  149. \&\fBX509_LOOKUP_set_method_data()\fR and \fBX509_LOOKUP_get_method_data()\fR
  150. associates and retrieves a pointer to application data to and from the
  151. given \fBX509_LOOKUP\fR, respectively.
  152. .PP
  153. \&\fBX509_LOOKUP_ctrl_ex()\fR is used to set or get additional data to or from
  154. a \fBX509_LOOKUP\fR structure using any control function in the
  155. associated \fBX509_LOOKUP_METHOD\fR\|(3).
  156. The arguments of the control command are passed via \fIargc\fR and \fIargl\fR,
  157. its return value via \fI*ret\fR. The library context \fIlibctx\fR and property
  158. query \fIpropq\fR are used when fetching algorithms from providers.
  159. The meaning of the arguments depends on the \fIcmd\fR number of the
  160. control command. In general, this function is not called directly, but
  161. wrapped by a macro call, see below.
  162. The control \fIcmd\fRs known to OpenSSL are discussed in more depth
  163. in "Control Commands".
  164. .PP
  165. \&\fBX509_LOOKUP_ctrl()\fR is similar to \fBX509_LOOKUP_ctrl_ex()\fR but
  166. uses NULL for the library context \fIlibctx\fR and property query \fIpropq\fR.
  167. .PP
  168. \&\fBX509_LOOKUP_load_file_ex()\fR passes a filename to be loaded immediately
  169. into the associated \fBX509_STORE\fR. The library context \fIlibctx\fR and property
  170. query \fIpropq\fR are used when fetching algorithms from providers.
  171. \&\fItype\fR indicates what type of object is expected.
  172. This can only be used with a lookup using the implementation
  173. \&\fBX509_LOOKUP_file\fR\|(3).
  174. .PP
  175. \&\fBX509_LOOKUP_load_file()\fR is similar to \fBX509_LOOKUP_load_file_ex()\fR but
  176. uses NULL for the library context \fIlibctx\fR and property query \fIpropq\fR.
  177. .PP
  178. \&\fBX509_LOOKUP_add_dir()\fR passes a directory specification from which
  179. certificates and CRLs are loaded on demand into the associated
  180. \&\fBX509_STORE\fR.
  181. \&\fItype\fR indicates what type of object is expected.
  182. This can only be used with a lookup using the implementation
  183. \&\fBX509_LOOKUP_hash_dir\fR\|(3).
  184. .PP
  185. \&\fBX509_LOOKUP_add_store_ex()\fR passes a URI for a directory-like structure
  186. from which containers with certificates and CRLs are loaded on demand
  187. into the associated \fBX509_STORE\fR. The library context \fIlibctx\fR and property
  188. query \fIpropq\fR are used when fetching algorithms from providers.
  189. .PP
  190. \&\fBX509_LOOKUP_add_store()\fR is similar to \fBX509_LOOKUP_add_store_ex()\fR but
  191. uses NULL for the library context \fIlibctx\fR and property query \fIpropq\fR.
  192. .PP
  193. \&\fBX509_LOOKUP_load_store_ex()\fR passes a URI for a single container from
  194. which certificates and CRLs are immediately loaded into the associated
  195. \&\fBX509_STORE\fR. The library context \fIlibctx\fR and property query \fIpropq\fR are used
  196. when fetching algorithms from providers.
  197. These functions can only be used with a lookup using the
  198. implementation \fBX509_LOOKUP_store\fR\|(3).
  199. .PP
  200. \&\fBX509_LOOKUP_load_store()\fR is similar to \fBX509_LOOKUP_load_store_ex()\fR but
  201. uses NULL for the library context \fIlibctx\fR and property query \fIpropq\fR.
  202. .PP
  203. \&\fBX509_LOOKUP_load_file_ex()\fR, \fBX509_LOOKUP_load_file()\fR,
  204. \&\fBX509_LOOKUP_add_dir()\fR,
  205. \&\fBX509_LOOKUP_add_store_ex()\fR \fBX509_LOOKUP_add_store()\fR,
  206. \&\fBX509_LOOKUP_load_store_ex()\fR and \fBX509_LOOKUP_load_store()\fR are
  207. implemented as macros that use \fBX509_LOOKUP_ctrl()\fR.
  208. .PP
  209. \&\fBX509_LOOKUP_by_subject_ex()\fR, \fBX509_LOOKUP_by_subject()\fR,
  210. \&\fBX509_LOOKUP_by_issuer_serial()\fR, \fBX509_LOOKUP_by_fingerprint()\fR, and
  211. \&\fBX509_LOOKUP_by_alias()\fR look up certificates and CRLs in the \fBX509_STORE\fR\|(3)
  212. associated with the \fBX509_LOOKUP\fR using different criteria, where the looked up
  213. object is stored in \fIret\fR.
  214. Some of the underlying \fBX509_LOOKUP_METHOD\fRs will also cache objects
  215. matching the criteria in the associated \fBX509_STORE\fR, which makes it
  216. possible to handle cases where the criteria have more than one hit.
  217. .SS "Control Commands"

  251. associated \fBX509_LOOKUP_METHOD\fR, or 1 if the
  252. doesn't have a control function.
  253. Otherwise, it returns what the control function in the

  255. but could also be \-1 on failure.

  263. It calls \fBget_by_subject_ex()\fR if present, otherwise \fBget_by_subject()\fR, and returns
  264. the result of the function, which is usually 1 on success and 0 on error.
  265. .PP
  266. \&\fBX509_LOOKUP_by_subject()\fR is similar to \fBX509_LOOKUP_by_subject_ex()\fR
  267. but passes NULL for both the libctx and propq.

  269. \&\fBX509_LOOKUP_by_issuer_serial()\fR, \fBX509_LOOKUP_by_fingerprint()\fR, and

  271. method doesn't implement the corresponding function.
  272. Otherwise, they return what the corresponding function in the
