NAME

       X509_get_version, X509_set_version, X509_REQ_get_version, X509_REQ_set_version,
       X509_CRL_get_version, X509_CRL_set_version - get or set certificate, certificate request
       or CRL version

SYNOPSIS

        #include <openssl/x509.h>

        long X509_get_version(const X509 *x);
        int X509_set_version(X509 *x, long version);

        long X509_REQ_get_version(const X509_REQ *req);
        int X509_REQ_set_version(X509_REQ *x, long version);

        long X509_CRL_get_version(const X509_CRL *crl);
        int X509_CRL_set_version(X509_CRL *x, long version);

DESCRIPTION

       X509_get_version() returns the numerical value of the version field of certificate x.
       These correspond to the constants X509_VERSION_1, X509_VERSION_2, and X509_VERSION_3.
       Note: the values of these constants are defined by standards (X.509 et al) to be one less
       than the certificate version. So X509_VERSION_3 has value 2 and X509_VERSION_1 has value
       0.

       X509_set_version() sets the numerical value of the version field of certificate x to
       version.

       Similarly X509_REQ_get_version(), X509_REQ_set_version(), X509_CRL_get_version() and
       X509_CRL_set_version() get and set the version number of certificate requests and CRLs.
       They use constants X509_REQ_VERSION_1, X509_CRL_VERSION_1, and X509_CRL_VERSION_2.

NOTES

       The version field of certificates, certificate requests and CRLs has a DEFAULT value of
       v1(0) meaning the field should be omitted for version 1. This is handled transparently by
       these functions.

RETURN VALUES

       X509_get_version(), X509_REQ_get_version() and X509_CRL_get_version() return the numerical
       value of the version field.

       X509_set_version(), X509_REQ_set_version() and X509_CRL_set_version() return 1 for success
       and 0 for failure.

HISTORY

       X509_get_version(), X509_REQ_get_version() and X509_CRL_get_version() are functions in
       OpenSSL 1.1.0, in previous versions they were macros.
