CRYPTO_set_ex_data(3)       OpenSSL       CRYPTO_set_ex_data(3)





NAME
       CRYPTO_set_ex_data, CRYPTO_get_ex_data - internal appli-
       cation specific data functions

SYNOPSIS
        int CRYPTO_set_ex_data(CRYPTO_EX_DATA *r, int idx, void *arg);

        void *CRYPTO_get_ex_data(CRYPTO_EX_DATA *r, int idx);

DESCRIPTION
       Several OpenSSL structures can have application specific
       data attached to them.  These functions are used inter-
       nally by OpenSSL to manipulate application specific data
       attached to a specific structure.

       These functions should only be used by applications to
       manipulate CRYPTO_EX_DATA structures passed to the
       new_func(), free_func() and dup_func() callbacks: as
       passed to RSA_get_ex_new_index() for example.

       CRYPTO_set_ex_data() is used to set application specific
       data, the data is supplied in the arg parameter and its
       precise meaning is up to the application.

       CRYPTO_get_ex_data() is used to retrieve application
       specific data. The data is returned to the application,
       this will be the same value as supplied to a previous
       CRYPTO_set_ex_data() call.

RETURN VALUES
       CRYPTO_set_ex_data() returns 1 on success or 0 on fail-
       ure.

       CRYPTO_get_ex_data() returns the application data or 0
       on failure. 0 may also be valid application data but
       currently it can only fail if given an invalid idx
       parameter.

       On failure an error code can be obtained from
       ERR_get_error(3).
