D2I_X509_ALGOR(3)

NAME
d2i_X509_ALGOR, i2d_X509_ALGOR, d2i_X509_ALGORS, i2d_X509_ALGORS - decode and encode algorithm identifiers

SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/x509.h>
X509_ALGOR *
d2i_X509_ALGOR(X509_ALGOR **val_out, const unsigned char **der_in, long length);
int
i2d_X509_ALGOR(X509_ALGOR *val_in, unsigned char **der_out);
X509_ALGORS *
d2i_X509_ALGORS(X509_ALGORS **val_out, const unsigned char **der_in, long length);
int
i2d_X509_ALGORS(X509_ALGORS *val_in, unsigned char **der_out);

DESCRIPTION
d2i_X509_ALGOR() and i2d_X509_ALGOR() decode and encode an ASN.1 AlgorithmIdentifier structure defined in RFC 5280 section 4.1.1.2.

d2i_X509_ALGORS() and i2d_X509_ALGORS() decode and encode an ASN.1 sequence of AlgorithmIdentifier structures. The data type X509_ALGORS is defined as STACK_OF(X509_ALGOR).

For details about the semantics, examples, caveats, and bugs, see ASN1_item_d2i(3).
