NAME
       X509_NAME_ENTRY_get_object, X509_NAME_ENTRY_get_data,

       ate_by_NID, X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_OBJ -
       X509_NAME_ENTRY utility functions

SYNOPSIS
       ASN1_OBJECT * X509_NAME_ENTRY_get_object(X509_NAME_ENTRY
       *ne); ASN1_STRING *
       X509_NAME_ENTRY_get_data(X509_NAME_ENTRY *ne);

       int X509_NAME_ENTRY_set_object(X509_NAME_ENTRY *ne,
       ASN1_OBJECT *obj); int
       X509_NAME_ENTRY_set_data(X509_NAME_ENTRY *ne, int type,
       unsigned char *bytes, int len);

       X509_NAME_ENTRY *X509_NAME_ENTRY_cre-
       ate_by_txt(X509_NAME_ENTRY **ne, char *field, int type,
       unsigned char *bytes, int len); X509_NAME_ENTRY
       *X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_NID(X509_NAME_ENTRY **ne, int
       nid, int type,unsigned char *bytes, int len);
       X509_NAME_ENTRY *X509_NAME_ENTRY_cre-
       ate_by_OBJ(X509_NAME_ENTRY **ne, ASN1_OBJECT *obj, int
       type,unsigned char *bytes, int len);

DESCRIPTION
       X509_NAME_ENTRY_get_object() retrieves the field name of
       ne in and ASN1_OBJECT structure.

       X509_NAME_ENTRY_get_data() retrieves the field value of
       ne in and ASN1_STRING structure.

       X509_NAME_ENTRY_set_object() sets the field name of ne
       to obj.

       X509_NAME_ENTRY_set_data() sets the field value of ne to
       string type type and value determined by bytes and len.

       X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_txt(), X509_NAME_ENTRY_cre-
       ate_by_NID() and X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_OBJ() create
       and return an X509_NAME_ENTRY structure.

NOTES
       X509_NAME_ENTRY_get_object() and
       X509_NAME_ENTRY_get_data() can be used to examine an
       X509_NAME_ENTRY function as returned by
       X509_NAME_get_entry() for example.

       X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_txt(), X509_NAME_ENTRY_cre-
       ate_by_NID(), and X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_OBJ() create
       and return an

       X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_txt(), X509_NAME_ENTRY_cre-
       ate_by_OBJ(), X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_NID() and
       X509_NAME_ENTRY_set_data() are seldom used in practice
       because X509_NAME_ENTRY structures are almost always
       part of X509_NAME structures and the corresponding
       X509_NAME functions are typically used to create and add
       new entries in a single operation.

       The arguments of these functions support similar options
       to the similarly named ones of the corresponding
       X509_NAME functions such as
       X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(). So for example type can be
       set to MBSTRING_ASC but in the case of X509_set_data()
       the field name must be set first so the relevant field
       information can be looked up internally.
