                                                       const char *propq);

DESCRIPTION

       PEM_X509_INFO_read_ex() loads the X509_INFO objects from a file fp.

       PEM_X509_INFO_read() is similar to PEM_X509_INFO_read_ex() but uses the default (NULL)
       library context libctx and empty property query propq.

       PEM_X509_INFO_read_bio_ex() loads the X509_INFO objects using a bio bp.

       PEM_X509_INFO_read_bio() is similar to PEM_X509_INFO_read_bio_ex() but uses the default
       (NULL) library context libctx and empty property query propq.

       Each of the loaded X509_INFO objects can contain a CRL, a certificate, and/or a private
       key.  The elements are read sequentially, and as far as they are of different type than
       the elements read before, they are combined into the same X509_INFO object.  The idea
       behind this is that if, for instance, a certificate is followed by a private key, the
       private key is supposed to correspond to the certificate.

       If the input stack sk is NULL a new stack is allocated, else the given stack is extended.

       The optional cb and u parameters can be used for providing a pass phrase needed for
       decrypting encrypted PEM structures (normally only private keys).  See
       PEM_read_bio_PrivateKey(3) and passphrase-encoding(7) for details.

       The library context libctx and property query propq are used for fetching algorithms from
       providers.

RETURN VALUES

       PEM_X509_INFO_read_ex(), PEM_X509_INFO_read(), PEM_X509_INFO_read_bio_ex() and
       PEM_X509_INFO_read_bio() return a stack of X509_INFO objects or NULL on failure.
