| =head1 NAME |
| |
| CRYPTO_set_ex_data, CRYPTO_get_ex_data - internal application specific data functions |
| |
| =head1 SYNOPSIS |
| |
| #include <openssl/crypto.h> |
| |
| int CRYPTO_set_ex_data(CRYPTO_EX_DATA *r, int idx, void *arg); |
| |
| void *CRYPTO_get_ex_data(CRYPTO_EX_DATA *r, int idx); |
| |
| =head1 DESCRIPTION |
| |
| Several OpenSSL structures can have application specific data attached to them. |
| These functions are used internally by OpenSSL to manipulate application |
| specific data attached to a specific structure. |
| |
| These functions should only be used by applications to manipulate |
| B<CRYPTO_EX_DATA> structures passed to the B<new_func()>, B<free_func()> and |
| B<dup_func()> callbacks: as passed to B<RSA_get_ex_new_index()> for example. |
| |
| B<CRYPTO_set_ex_data()> is used to set application specific data, the data is |
| supplied in the B<arg> parameter and its precise meaning is up to the |
| application. |
| |
| B<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 B<CRYPTO_set_ex_data()> call. |
| |
| =head1 RETURN VALUES |
| |
| B<CRYPTO_set_ex_data()> returns 1 on success or 0 on failure. |
| |
| B<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 B<idx> |
| parameter. |
| |
| On failure an error code can be obtained from L<ERR_get_error(3)|ERR_get_error(3)>. |
