# DESCRIPTION

The X509_LOOKUP_METHOD type is a structure used for the implementation of new X509_LOOKUP types. It provides a set of functions used by OpenSSL for the implementation of various X509 and X509_CRL lookup capabilities. One instance of an X509_LOOKUP_METHOD can be associated to many instantiations of an X509_LOOKUP structure.

X509_LOOKUP_meth_new() creates a new X509_LOOKUP_METHOD structure. It should be given a human-readable string containing a brief description of the lookup method.

X509_LOOKUP_meth_free() destroys a X509_LOOKUP_METHOD structure.

X509_LOOKUP_get_new_item() and X509_LOOKUP_set_new_item() get and set the function that is called when an X509_LOOKUP object is created with X509_LOOKUP_new(). If an X509_LOOKUP_METHOD requires any per-X509_LOOKUP specific data, the supplied new_item function should allocate this data and invoke X509_LOOKUP_set_method_data(3).

X509_LOOKUP_get_free() and X509_LOOKUP_set_free() get and set the function that is used to free any method data that was allocated and set from within new_item function.

X509_LOOKUP_meth_get_init() and X509_LOOKUP_meth_set_init() get and set the function that is used to initialize the method data that was set with X509_LOOKUP_set_method_data(3) as part of the new_item routine.

X509_LOOKUP_meth_get_shutdown() and X509_LOOKUP_meth_set_shutdown() get and set the function that is used to shut down the method data whose state was previously initialized in the init function.

X509_LOOKUP_meth_get_ctrl() and X509_LOOKUP_meth_set_ctrl() get and set a function to be used to handle arbitrary control commands issued by X509_LOOKUP_ctrl(). The control function is given the X509_LOOKUP ctx, along with the arguments passed by X509_LOOKUP_ctrl. cmd is an arbitrary integer that defines some operation. argc is a pointer to an array of characters. argl is an integer. ret, if set, points to a location where any return data should be written to. How argc and argl are used depends entirely on the control function.

X509_LOOKUP_set_get_by_subject(), X509_LOOKUP_set_get_by_issuer_serial(), X509_LOOKUP_set_get_by_fingerprint(), X509_LOOKUP_set_get_by_alias() set the functions used to retrieve an X509 or X509_CRL object by the object's subject, issuer, fingerprint, and alias respectively. These functions are given the X509_LOOKUP context, the type of the X509_OBJECT being requested, parameters related to the lookup, and an X509_OBJECT that will receive the requested object.

Implementations must add objects they find to the X509_STORE object using X509_STORE_add_cert() or X509_STORE_add_crl(). This increments its reference count. However, the X509_STORE_CTX_get_by_subject() function also increases the reference count which leads to one too many references being held. Therefore, applications should additionally call X509_free() or X509_CRL_free() to decrement the reference count again.

Implementations should also use either X509_OBJECT_set1_X509() or X509_OBJECT_set1_X509_CRL() to set the result. Note that this also increments the result's reference count.

Any method data that was created as a result of the new_item function set by X509_LOOKUP_meth_set_new_item() can be accessed with X509_LOOKUP_get_method_data(3). The X509_STORE object that owns the X509_LOOKUP may be accessed with X509_LOOKUP_get_store(3). Successful lookups should return 1, and unsuccessful lookups should return 0.

X509_LOOKUP_get_get_by_subject(), X509_LOOKUP_get_get_by_issuer_serial(), X509_LOOKUP_get_get_by_fingerprint(), X509_LOOKUP_get_get_by_alias() retrieve the function set by the corresponding setter.

# RETURN VALUES

The X509_LOOKUP_meth_set functions return 1 on success or 0 on error.

The X509_LOOKUP_meth_get functions return the corresponding function pointers.
