Multiple \fBX509_LOOKUP\fR instances can be added to an \fBX509_STORE\fR\|(3) to enable lookup in that store. .PP \&\fBX509_LOOKUP_new()\fR creates a new \fBX509_LOOKUP\fR using the given lookup \&\fImethod\fR. It can also be created by calling \fBX509_STORE_add_lookup\fR\|(3), which will associate a \fBX509_STORE\fR with the lookup mechanism. .PP \&\fBX509_LOOKUP_init()\fR initializes the internal state and resources as needed by the given \fBX509_LOOKUP\fR to do its work. .PP \&\fBX509_LOOKUP_shutdown()\fR tears down the internal state and resources of the given \fBX509_LOOKUP\fR. .PP \&\fBX509_LOOKUP_free()\fR destructs the given \fBX509_LOOKUP\fR. .PP \&\fBX509_LOOKUP_set_method_data()\fR and \fBX509_LOOKUP_get_method_data()\fR associates and retrieves a pointer to application data to and from the given \fBX509_LOOKUP\fR, respectively. .PP \&\fBX509_LOOKUP_ctrl_ex()\fR is used to set or get additional data to or from a \fBX509_LOOKUP\fR structure using any control function in the associated \fBX509_LOOKUP_METHOD\fR\|(3). The arguments of the control command are passed via \fIargc\fR and \fIargl\fR, its return value via \fI*ret\fR. The library context \fIlibctx\fR and property query \fIpropq\fR are used when fetching algorithms from providers. The meaning of the arguments depends on the \fIcmd\fR number of the control command. In general, this function is not called directly, but wrapped by a macro call, see below. The control \fIcmd\fRs known to OpenSSL are discussed in more depth in "Control Commands". .PP \&\fBX509_LOOKUP_ctrl()\fR is similar to \fBX509_LOOKUP_ctrl_ex()\fR but uses NULL for the library context \fIlibctx\fR and property query \fIpropq\fR. .PP \&\fBX509_LOOKUP_load_file_ex()\fR passes a filename to be loaded immediately into the associated \fBX509_STORE\fR. The library context \fIlibctx\fR and property query \fIpropq\fR are used when fetching algorithms from providers. \&\fItype\fR indicates what type of object is expected. This can only be used with a lookup using the implementation \&\fBX509_LOOKUP_file\fR\|(3). .PP \&\fBX509_LOOKUP_load_file()\fR is similar to \fBX509_LOOKUP_load_file_ex()\fR but uses NULL for the library context \fIlibctx\fR and property query \fIpropq\fR. .PP \&\fBX509_LOOKUP_add_dir()\fR passes a directory specification from which certificates and CRLs are loaded on demand into the associated \&\fBX509_STORE\fR. \&\fItype\fR indicates what type of object is expected. This can only be used with a lookup using the implementation \&\fBX509_LOOKUP_hash_dir\fR\|(3). .PP \&\fBX509_LOOKUP_add_store_ex()\fR passes a URI for a directory-like structure from which containers with certificates and CRLs are loaded on demand into the associated \fBX509_STORE\fR. The library context \fIlibctx\fR and property query \fIpropq\fR are used when fetching algorithms from providers. .PP \&\fBX509_LOOKUP_add_store()\fR is similar to \fBX509_LOOKUP_add_store_ex()\fR but uses NULL for the library context \fIlibctx\fR and property query \fIpropq\fR. .PP \&\fBX509_LOOKUP_load_store_ex()\fR passes a URI for a single container from which certificates and CRLs are immediately loaded into the associated \&\fBX509_STORE\fR. The library context \fIlibctx\fR and property query \fIpropq\fR are used when fetching algorithms from providers. These functions can only be used with a lookup using the implementation \fBX509_LOOKUP_store\fR\|(3). .PP \&\fBX509_LOOKUP_load_store()\fR is similar to \fBX509_LOOKUP_load_store_ex()\fR but uses NULL for the library context \fIlibctx\fR and property query \fIpropq\fR. .PP \&\fBX509_LOOKUP_load_file_ex()\fR, \fBX509_LOOKUP_load_file()\fR, \&\fBX509_LOOKUP_add_dir()\fR, \&\fBX509_LOOKUP_add_store_ex()\fR \fBX509_LOOKUP_add_store()\fR, \&\fBX509_LOOKUP_load_store_ex()\fR and \fBX509_LOOKUP_load_store()\fR are implemented as macros that use \fBX509_LOOKUP_ctrl()\fR. .PP \&\fBX509_LOOKUP_by_subject_ex()\fR, \fBX509_LOOKUP_by_subject()\fR, \&\fBX509_LOOKUP_by_issuer_serial()\fR, \fBX509_LOOKUP_by_fingerprint()\fR, and \&\fBX509_LOOKUP_by_alias()\fR look up certificates and CRLs in the \fBX509_STORE\fR\|(3) associated with the \fBX509_LOOKUP\fR using different criteria, where the looked up object is stored in \fIret\fR. Some of the underlying \fBX509_LOOKUP_METHOD\fRs will also cache objects matching the criteria in the associated \fBX509_STORE\fR, which makes it possible to handle cases where the criteria have more than one hit. .SS "Control Commands" .IX Subsection "Control Commands" The \fBX509_LOOKUP_METHOD\fRs built into OpenSSL recognize the following \&\fBX509_LOOKUP_ctrl()\fR \fIcmd\fRs: .IP \fBX509_L_FILE_LOAD\fR 4 .IX Item "X509_L_FILE_LOAD" This is the command that \fBX509_LOOKUP_load_file_ex()\fR and \&\fBX509_LOOKUP_load_file()\fR use.

The directory specification is passed in \fIargc\fR, and the type in \&\fIargl\fR. .IP \fBX509_L_ADD_STORE\fR 4 .IX Item "X509_L_ADD_STORE" This is the command that \fBX509_LOOKUP_add_store_ex()\fR and \&\fBX509_LOOKUP_add_store()\fR use.

The URI is passed in \fIargc\fR. .SH "RETURN VALUES" .IX Header "RETURN VALUES" \&\fBX509_LOOKUP_new()\fR returns a \fBX509_LOOKUP\fR pointer when successful, or NULL on error. .PP \&\fBX509_LOOKUP_init()\fR and \fBX509_LOOKUP_shutdown()\fR return 1 on success, or 0 on error. .PP \&\fBX509_LOOKUP_ctrl_ex()\fR and \fBX509_LOOKUP_ctrl()\fR return \-1 if the \fBX509_LOOKUP\fR doesn't have an associated \fBX509_LOOKUP_METHOD\fR, or 1 if the doesn't have a control function. Otherwise, it returns what the control function in the \&\fBX509_LOOKUP_METHOD\fR returns, which is usually 1 on success and 0 on error but could also be \-1 on failure. .IX Xref "509_LOOKUP_METHOD" .PP \&\fBX509_LOOKUP_get_store()\fR returns a \fBX509_STORE\fR pointer if there is one, otherwise NULL. .PP \&\fBX509_LOOKUP_by_subject_ex()\fR returns 0 if there is no \fBX509_LOOKUP_METHOD\fR that implements any of the \fBget_by_subject_ex()\fR or \fBget_by_subject()\fR functions. It calls \fBget_by_subject_ex()\fR if present, otherwise \fBget_by_subject()\fR, and returns the result of the function, which is usually 1 on success and 0 on error. .PP \&\fBX509_LOOKUP_by_subject()\fR is similar to \fBX509_LOOKUP_by_subject_ex()\fR but passes NULL for both the libctx and propq. .PP \&\fBX509_LOOKUP_by_issuer_serial()\fR, \fBX509_LOOKUP_by_fingerprint()\fR, and \&\fBX509_LOOKUP_by_alias()\fR all return 0 if there is no \fBX509_LOOKUP_METHOD\fR or that method doesn't implement the corresponding function. Otherwise, they return what the corresponding function in the \&\fBX509_LOOKUP_METHOD\fR returns, which is usually 1 on success and 0 in error. .SH "SEE ALSO" .IX Header "SEE ALSO" \&\fBX509_LOOKUP_METHOD\fR\|(3), \fBX509_STORE\fR\|(3) .SH HISTORY .IX Header "HISTORY" The functions \fBX509_LOOKUP_by_subject_ex()\fR and \&\fBX509_LOOKUP_ctrl_ex()\fR were added in OpenSSL 3.0. .PP The macros \fBX509_LOOKUP_load_file_ex()\fR, \&\fBX509_LOOKUP_load_store_ex()\fR and 509_LOOKUP_add_store_ex() were added in OpenSSL 3.0. .SH COPYRIGHT .IX Header "COPYRIGHT" Copyright 2020\-2021 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
