<h1 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h1>
<p>X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(), X509_NAME_add_entry_by_OBJ() and X509_NAME_add_entry_by_NID() add a field whose name is defined by a string <b>field</b>, an object <b>obj</b> or a NID <b>nid</b> respectively. The field value to be added is in <b>bytes</b> of length <b>len</b>. If <b>len</b> is -1 then the field length is calculated internally using strlen(bytes).</p>
<p>The type of field is determined by <b>type</b> which can either be a definition of the type of <b>bytes</b> (such as <b>MBSTRING_ASC</b>) or a standard ASN1 type (such as <b>V_ASN1_IA5STRING</b>). The new entry is added to a position determined by <b>loc</b> and <b>set</b>.</p>
<p>X509_NAME_add_entry() adds a copy of <b>X509_NAME_ENTRY</b> structure <b>ne</b> to <b>name</b>. The new entry is added to a position determined by <b>loc</b> and <b>set</b>. Since a copy of <b>ne</b> is added <b>ne</b> must be freed up after the call.</p>
<p>X509_NAME_delete_entry() deletes an entry from <b>name</b> at position <b>loc</b>. The deleted entry is returned and must be freed up.</p>
<h1 id="NOTES">NOTES</h1>
<p>The use of string types such as <b>MBSTRING_ASC</b> or <b>MBSTRING_UTF8</b> is strongly recommended for the <b>type</b> parameter. This allows the internal code to correctly determine the type of the field and to apply length checks according to the relevant standards. This is done using ASN1_STRING_set_by_NID().</p>
<p>If instead an ASN1 type is used no checks are performed and the supplied data in <b>bytes</b> is used directly.</p>
<p>In X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt() the <b>field</b> string represents the field name using OBJ_txt2obj(field, 0).</p>
<p>The <b>loc</b> and <b>set</b> parameters determine where a new entry should be added. For almost all applications <b>loc</b> can be set to -1 and <b>set</b> to 0. This adds a new entry to the end of <b>name</b> as a single valued RelativeDistinguishedName (RDN).</p>
<p><b>loc</b> actually determines the index where the new entry is inserted: if it is -1 it is appended.</p>
<p><b>set</b> determines how the new type is added. If it is zero a new RDN is created.</p>
<p>If <b>set</b> is -1 or 1 it is added to the previous or next RDN structure respectively. This will then be a multivalued RDN: since multivalues RDNs are very seldom used <b>set</b> is almost always set to zero.</p>
<h1 id="RETURN-VALUES">RETURN VALUES</h1>
<p>X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(), X509_NAME_add_entry_by_OBJ(), X509_NAME_add_entry_by_NID() and X509_NAME_add_entry() return 1 for success of 0 if an error occurred.</p>
<p>X509_NAME_delete_entry() returns either the deleted <b>X509_NAME_ENTRY</b> structure of <b>NULL</b> if an error occurred.</p>
<h1 id="EXAMPLES">EXAMPLES</h1>
<p>Create an <b>X509_NAME</b> structure:</p>
<p>"C=UK, O=Disorganized Organization, CN=Joe Bloggs"</p>
<pre><code> X509_NAME *nm;
nm = X509_NAME_new();
if (nm == NULL)
/* Some error */
if (!X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "C", MBSTRING_ASC,
"UK", -1, -1, 0))
/* Error */
if (!X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "O", MBSTRING_ASC,
"Disorganized Organization", -1, -1, 0))
/* Error */
if (!X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC,
"Joe Bloggs", -1, -1, 0))
/* Error */</code></pre>
<h1 id="BUGS">BUGS</h1>
<p><b>type</b> can still be set to <b>V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE</b> to use a different algorithm to determine field types. Since this form does not understand multicharacter types, performs no length checks and can result in invalid field types its use is strongly discouraged.</p>
