.Os
.Sh NAME
.Nm X509_get_pubkey_parameters
.Nd copy public key parameters from a chain
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In openssl/x509.h
.Ft int
.Fo X509_get_pubkey_parameters
.Fa "EVP_PKEY *pkey"
.Fa "STACK_OF(X509) *chain"
.Fc
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Fn X509_get_pubkey_parameters
copies public key parameters from the first appropriate certificate in the
.Fa chain .
.Pp
If
.Fa pkey
is not
.Dv NULL
and already contains complete public key parameters or uses an
algorithm that does not use any parameters, no action occurs and
the function indicates success without inspecting the existing
parameters, without inspecting the
.Fa chain ,
and without comparing any parameters.
.Pp
Otherwise, all public key parameters are copied
from the first certificate in the
.Fa chain
that contains complete public key parameters
to each certificate preceding it in the
.Fa chain .
Unless
.Fa pkey
is a
.Dv NULL
pointer, the same parameters are also copied to
.Fa pkey .
.Sh RETURN VALUES
.Fn X509_get_pubkey_parameters
returns 1 for success or 0 for failure.
.Sh ERRORS
The following diagnostics can be retrieved with
.Xr ERR_get_error 3 ,
.Xr ERR_GET_REASON 3 ,
and
.Xr ERR_reason_error_string 3 :
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Dv X509_R_UNABLE_TO_GET_CERTS_PUBLIC_KEY Qq unable to get certs public key
Retrieving the public key from a certificate in the
.Fa chain
failed before a certificate containing complete public key parameters
could be found.
.It Xo
.Dv X509_R_UNABLE_TO_FIND_PARAMETERS_IN_CHAIN
.Qq unable to find parameters in chain
.Xc
None of the certificates in the chain
contain complete public key parameters.

.Sh SEE ALSO
.Xr EVP_PKEY_copy_parameters 3 ,
.Xr EVP_PKEY_new 3 ,
.Xr X509_get_pubkey 3 ,
.Xr X509_new 3
.Sh HISTORY
.Fn X509_get_pubkey_parameters
first appeared in SSLeay 0.8.0 and has been available since
.Ox 2.4 .
.Sh CAVEATS
If
.Fn X509_get_pubkey_parameters
fails and returns 0, a part of the parameters may or may not have
been copied before the failure was detected, whereas other parts of
.Fa pkey
and
.Fa chain
may remain unchanged.
So in case of failure, the state of the arguments may change
and possibly become inconsistent.
