DESCRIPTION

       The X509_LOOKUP structure holds the information needed to look up certificates and CRLs
       according to an associated X509_LOOKUP_METHOD(3).  Multiple X509_LOOKUP instances can be
       added to an X509_STORE(3) 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 X509_STORE_add_lookup(3), which will associate a 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() and X509_LOOKUP_get_method_data() associates and retrieves a
       pointer to application data to and from the given X509_LOOKUP, respectively.

       X509_LOOKUP_ctrl_ex() is used to set or get additional data to or from a X509_LOOKUP
       structure or its associated X509_LOOKUP_METHOD(3).  The arguments of the control command
       are passed via argc and argl, its return value via *ret. The library context libctx and
       property query propq are used when fetching algorithms from providers.  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 "Control Commands".

       X509_LOOKUP_ctrl() is similar to X509_LOOKUP_ctrl_ex() but uses NULL for the library
       context libctx and property query propq.

       X509_LOOKUP_load_file_ex() passes a filename to be loaded immediately into the associated
       X509_STORE. The library context libctx and property query propq are used when fetching
       algorithms from providers.  type indicates what type of object is expected.  This can only
       be used with a lookup using the implementation X509_LOOKUP_file(3).

       X509_LOOKUP_load_file() is similar to X509_LOOKUP_load_file_ex() but uses NULL for the
       library context libctx and property query propq.

       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
       X509_LOOKUP_hash_dir(3).

       X509_LOOKUP_add_store_ex() passes a URI for a directory-like structure from which
       containers with certificates and CRLs are loaded on demand into the associated X509_STORE.
       The library context libctx and property query propq are used when fetching algorithms from
       providers.

       X509_LOOKUP_add_store() is similar to X509_LOOKUP_add_store_ex() but uses NULL for the
       library context libctx and property query propq.

       X509_LOOKUP_load_store_ex() passes a URI for a single container from which certificates
       and CRLs are immediately loaded into the associated X509_STORE. The library context libctx
       and property query propq are used when fetching algorithms from providers.  These
       functions can only be used with a lookup using the implementation X509_LOOKUP_store(3).

       X509_LOOKUP_load_store() is similar to X509_LOOKUP_load_store_ex() but uses NULL for the
       library context libctx and property query propq.

       X509_LOOKUP_load_file_ex(), X509_LOOKUP_load_file(), X509_LOOKUP_add_dir(),
       X509_LOOKUP_add_store_ex() X509_LOOKUP_add_store(), X509_LOOKUP_load_store_ex() and
       X509_LOOKUP_load_store() are implemented as macros that use X509_LOOKUP_ctrl().

       X509_LOOKUP_by_subject_ex(), 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 X509_STORE(3) 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.

   Control Commands
       The X509_LOOKUP_METHODs built into OpenSSL recognize the following X509_LOOKUP_ctrl()
       cmds:

       X509_L_FILE_LOAD
           This is the command that X509_LOOKUP_load_file_ex() and X509_LOOKUP_load_file() use.
           The filename is passed in argc, and the type in argl.

       X509_L_ADD_DIR
           This is the command that X509_LOOKUP_add_dir() uses.  The directory specification is
           passed in argc, and the type in argl.

       X509_L_ADD_STORE
           This is the command that X509_LOOKUP_add_store_ex() and X509_LOOKUP_add_store() use.
           The URI is passed in argc.

       X509_L_LOAD_STORE
           This is the command that X509_LOOKUP_load_store_ex() and X509_LOOKUP_load_store() use.
           The URI is passed in argc.

RETURN VALUES

       X509_LOOKUP_new() returns a 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't have an associated
       X509_LOOKUP_METHOD, or 1 if the doesn'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 a X509_STORE pointer if there is one, otherwise NULL.

       X509_LOOKUP_by_subject_ex(), 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'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.

HISTORY

       The functions X509_LOOKUP_by_subject_ex() and X509_LOOKUP_ctrl_ex() were added in OpenSSL
