.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Fn X509_get_pubkey
attempts to decode the public key for certificate
.Fa x .
If successful it returns the public key as an
.Vt EVP_PKEY
pointer with its reference count incremented: this means the returned
key must be freed up after use.
.Fn X509_get0_pubkey
is similar except that it does not increment the reference count
of the returned
.Vt EVP_PKEY ,
so it must not be freed up after use.
.Pp
.Fn X509_get_X509_PUBKEY
returns an internal pointer to the
.Vt X509_PUBKEY
structure which encodes the certificate of
.Fa x .
The returned value must not be freed up after use.
.Fn X509_get_X509_PUBKEY
is implemented as a macro.
.Pp
.Fn X509_set_pubkey
attempts to set the public key for certificate
.Fa x
to
.Fa pkey .
The key
.Fa pkey
should be freed up after use.
.Pp
.Fn X509_REQ_get_pubkey
and
.Fn X509_REQ_set_pubkey
are similar but operate on certificate request
.Fa req .
.Pp
The first time a public key is decoded, the
.Vt EVP_PKEY
structure is cached in the certificate or certificate request itself.
Subsequent calls return the cached structure with its reference count
incremented to improve performance.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
.Fn X509_get_pubkey ,
.Fn X509_get0_pubkey ,
.Fn X509_get_X509_PUBKEY ,
and
.Fn X509_REQ_get_pubkey
return a public key or
.Dv NULL
if an error occurred.
.Pp
.Fn X509_set_pubkey
and
.Fn X509_REQ_set_pubkey
return 1 for success or 0 for failure.
