For details about the semantics, examples, caveats, and bugs, see .Xr ASN1_item_d2i 3 . .Pp .Fn d2i_X509 and .Fn i2d_X509 decode and encode an ASN.1 .Vt Certificate structure defined in RFC 5280 section 4.1. .Pp .Fn d2i_X509_bio , .Fn d2i_X509_fp , .Fn i2d_X509_bio , and .Fn i2d_X509_fp are similar except that they decode or encode using a .Vt BIO or .Vt FILE pointer. .Pp .Fn d2i_X509_AUX is similar to .Fn d2i_X509 , but the input is expected to consist of an X.509 certificate followed by auxiliary trust information. This is used by the PEM routines to read TRUSTED CERTIFICATE objects. This function should not be called on untrusted input. .Pp .Fn i2d_X509_AUX is similar to .Fn i2d_X509 , but the encoded output contains both the certificate and any auxiliary trust information. This is used by the PEM routines to write TRUSTED CERTIFICATE objects. Note that this is a non-standard OpenSSL-specific data format. .Pp .Fn d2i_X509_CERT_AUX and .Fn i2d_X509_CERT_AUX decode and encode optional non-standard auxiliary data appended to a certificate, for example friendly alias names and trust data. .Pp .Fn d2i_X509_CINF and .Fn i2d_X509_CINF decode and encode an ASN.1 .Vt TBSCertificate structure defined in RFC 5280 section 4.1. .Pp .Fn d2i_X509_VAL and .Fn i2d_X509_VAL decode and encode an ASN.1 .Vt Validity structure defined in RFC 5280 section 4.1. .Sh RETURN VALUES .Fn d2i_X509 , .Fn d2i_X509_bio , .Fn d2i_X509_fp , and .Fn d2i_X509_AUX return a valid .Vt X509 structure or .Dv NULL if an error occurs. .Pp .Fn d2i_X509_CERT_AUX , .Fn d2i_X509_CINF , and .Fn d2i_X509_VAL return an .Vt X509_CERT_AUX , .Vt X509_CINF , or .Vt X509_VAL object, respectively, or .Dv NULL if an error occurs. .Pp .Fn i2d_X509 , .Fn i2d_X509_AUX , .Fn i2d_X509_CERT_AUX , .Fn i2d_X509_CINF , and .Fn i2d_X509_VAL return the number of bytes successfully encoded or a negative value if an error occurs. .Pp .Fn i2d_X509_bio and .Fn i2d_X509_fp return 1 for success or 0 if an error occurs. .Pp For all functions, the error code can be obtained by .Xr ERR_get_error 3 . .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr ASN1_item_d2i 3 , .Xr X509_CINF_new 3 , .Xr X509_new 3 .Sh STANDARDS RFC 5280: Internet X.509 Public Key Infrastructure Certificate and Certificate Revocation List (CRL) Profile .Sh HISTORY .Fn d2i_X509 , .Fn i2d_X509 , .Fn d2i_X509_bio , .Fn d2i_X509_fp , .Fn i2d_X509_bio , and .Fn i2d_X509_fp are available in all versions of SSLeay and OpenSSL.
