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 3.0.

       The macros X509_LOOKUP_load_file_ex(), X509_LOOKUP_load_store_ex() and 509_LOOKUP_add_store_ex() were
       added in OpenSSL 3.0.
