<h1 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h1>

The X509_LOOKUP structure holds the information needed to look up certificates and CRLs according to an associated <a href="../man3/X509_LOOKUP_METHOD.html">X509_LOOKUP_METHOD(3)</a>. Multiple X509_LOOKUP instances can be added to an <a href="../man3/X509_STORE.html">X509_STORE(3)</a> to enable lookup in that store.

X509_LOOKUP_new() creates a new X509_LOOKUP using the given lookup method. It can also be created by calling <a href="../man3/X509_STORE_add_lookup.html">X509_STORE_add_lookup(3)</a>, which will associate an X509_STORE with the lookup mechanism.

X509_LOOKUP_init() initializes the internal state and resources as needed by the given X509_LOOKUP to do its work.

X509_LOOKUP_shutdown() tears down the internal state and resources of the given X509_LOOKUP.

X509_LOOKUP_free() destructs the given X509_LOOKUP.

X509_LOOKUP_set_method_data() associates a pointer to application data to the given X509_LOOKUP.

X509_LOOKUP_get_method_data() retrieves a pointer to application data from the given X509_LOOKUP.

X509_LOOKUP_ctrl() is used to set or get additional data to or from an X509_LOOKUP structure or its associated <a href="../man3/X509_LOOKUP_METHOD.html">X509_LOOKUP_METHOD(3)</a>. The arguments of the control command are passed via argc and argl, its return value via *ret. The meaning of the arguments depends on the cmd number of the control command. In general, this function is not called directly, but wrapped by a macro call, see below. The control cmds known to OpenSSL are discussed in more depth in <a href="#Control-Commands">&quot;Control Commands&quot;</a>.

X509_LOOKUP_load_file() passes a filename to be loaded immediately into the associated X509_STORE. type indicates what type of object is expected. This can only be used with a lookup using the implementation <a href="../man3/X509_LOOKUP_file.html">X509_LOOKUP_file(3)</a>.

X509_LOOKUP_add_dir() passes a directory specification from which certificates and CRLs are loaded on demand into the associated X509_STORE. type indicates what type of object is expected. This can only be used with a lookup using the implementation <a href="../man3/X509_LOOKUP_hash_dir.html">X509_LOOKUP_hash_dir(3)</a>.

X509_LOOKUP_load_file(), X509_LOOKUP_add_dir(), X509_LOOKUP_add_store(), and X509_LOOKUP_load_store() are implemented as macros that use X509_LOOKUP_ctrl().

X509_LOOKUP_by_subject(), X509_LOOKUP_by_issuer_serial(), X509_LOOKUP_by_fingerprint(), and X509_LOOKUP_by_alias() look up certificates and CRLs in the <a href="../man3/X509_STORE.html">X509_STORE(3)</a> associated with the X509_LOOKUP using different criteria, where the looked up object is stored in ret. Some of the underlying X509_LOOKUP_METHODs will also cache objects matching the criteria in the associated X509_STORE, which makes it possible to handle cases where the criteria have more than one hit.

<h2 id="File-Types">File Types</h2>

X509_LOOKUP_load_file() and X509_LOOKUP_add_dir() take a type, which can be one of the following:

<dl>

<dt id="X509_FILETYPE_PEM">X509_FILETYPE_PEM</dt>
<dd>

The file or files that are loaded are expected to be in PEM format.

</dd>
<dt id="X509_FILETYPE_ASN1">X509_FILETYPE_ASN1</dt>
<dd>

The file or files that are loaded are expected to be in raw DER format.

</dd>
<dt id="X509_FILETYPE_DEFAULT">X509_FILETYPE_DEFAULT</dt>
<dd>

The default certificate file or directory is used. In this case, name is ignored.

</dd>
</dl>

<h2 id="Control-Commands">Control Commands</h2>

The X509_LOOKUP_METHODs built into OpenSSL recognise the following X509_LOOKUP_ctrl() cmds:

<dl>

This is the command that X509_LOOKUP_load_file() uses. The filename is passed in argc, and the type in argl.

</dd>
<dt id="X509_L_ADD_DIR">X509_L_ADD_DIR</dt>
<dd>

This is the command that X509_LOOKUP_add_dir() uses. The directory specification is passed in argc, and the type in argl.

</dd>
<dt id="X509_L_ADD_STORE">X509_L_ADD_STORE</dt>
<dd>

This is the command that X509_LOOKUP_add_store() uses. The URI is passed in argc.

</dd>
<dt id="X509_L_LOAD_STORE">X509_L_LOAD_STORE</dt>
<dd>

This is the command that X509_LOOKUP_load_store() uses. The URI is passed in argc.

</dd>
</dl>

<h1 id="RETURN-VALUES">RETURN VALUES</h1>

X509_LOOKUP_new() returns an X509_LOOKUP pointer when successful, or NULL on error.

X509_LOOKUP_init() and X509_LOOKUP_shutdown() return 1 on success, or 0 on error.

X509_LOOKUP_ctrl() returns -1 if the X509_LOOKUP doesn&#39;t have an associated X509_LOOKUP_METHOD, or 1 if the doesn&#39;t have a control function. Otherwise, it returns what the control function in the X509_LOOKUP_METHOD returns, which is usually 1 on success and 0 in error.

X509_LOOKUP_get_store() returns an X509_STORE pointer if there is one, otherwise NULL.

X509_LOOKUP_by_subject(), X509_LOOKUP_by_issuer_serial(), X509_LOOKUP_by_fingerprint(), and X509_LOOKUP_by_alias() all return 0 if there is no X509_LOOKUP_METHOD or that method doesn&#39;t implement the corresponding function. Otherwise, it returns what the corresponding function in the X509_LOOKUP_METHOD returns, which is usually 1 on success and 0 in error.
