ASN1_STRING_TABLE_GET(3) FreeBSD Library Functions Manual NAME ASN1_STRING_TABLE_get - retrieve an entry from the global ASN.1 string table SYNOPSIS #include <openssl/asn1.h> ASN1_STRING_TABLE * ASN1_STRING_TABLE_get(int nid); DESCRIPTION The ASN.1 string table is a unique global object. Each entry is of the type ASN1_STRING_TABLE and contains information about one NID object. The entries are predefined according to RFC 5280 appendix A.1. The upper bounds for the number of characters in various kinds of ASN1_STRING objects are: object type maxsize symbolic constant NID_commonName 64 ub_common_name NID_countryName 2 -- NID_givenName 32768 ub_name NID_initials 32768 ub_name NID_localityName 128 ub_locality_name NID_name 32768 ub_name NID_organizationName 64 ub_organization_name NID_organizationalUnitName 64 ub_organization_unit_name NID_pkcs9_emailAddress 128 ub_email_address NID_serialNumber 64 ub_serial_number NID_stateOrProvinceName 128 ub_state_name NID_surname 32768 ub_name The function ASN1_STRING_TABLE_get() retrieves the entry for nid. If the STABLE_NO_MASK flag is set, ASN1_STRING_set_by_NID(3) skips applying the global mask that can be set with ASN1_STRING_set_default_mask(3). RETURN VALUES ASN1_STRING_TABLE_get() returns a valid ASN1_STRING_TABLE structure or NULL if nothing is found. SEE ALSO ASN1_OBJECT_new(3), ASN1_STRING_set_by_NID(3), OBJ_create(3), OBJ_nid2obj(3) HISTORY ASN1_STRING_TABLE_get() first appeared in OpenSSL 0.9.5 and has been available since OpenBSD 2.7. BUGS Most aspects of the semantics considerably differ from OpenSSL. ub_email_address, which should really be called ub_emailaddress_length, was changed in RFC 5280 from 128 to 255 to match PKCS#9 (RFC 2985).
