<title>Description</title>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>The <function>ne_ssl_cert_write</function> function writes a
|
||||
certificate to a file using the PEM encoding. The
|
||||
<function>ne_ssl_cert_export</function> function returns a
|
||||
base64-encoded &nul;-terminated string representing the
|
||||
certificate. This string is malloc-allocated and should be
|
||||
destroyed using <function>free</function> by the caller.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>The <function>ne_ssl_cert_read</function> function reads a
|
||||
certificate from a PEM-encoded file, and returns a certificate
|
||||
object. The <function>ne_ssl_cert_import</function> function
|
||||
returns a certificate object from a base64-encoded string,
|
||||
<parameter>data</parameter>, as returned by
|
||||
<function>ne_ssl_cert_export</function>. The certificate object
|
||||
returned by these functions should be destroyed using <xref
|
||||
linkend="ne_ssl_cert_free"/> after use.</para>

<title>Return value</title>
|

|

<para><function>ne_ssl_cert_read</function> returns &null; if a
|
||||
certificate could not be read from the file.
|
||||
<function>ne_ssl_cert_write</function> returns non-zero if the
|
||||
certificate could not be written to the file.
|
||||
<function>ne_ssl_cert_export</function> always returns a
|
||||
&nul;-terminated string, and never &null;.
|
||||
<function>ne_ssl_cert_import</function> returns &null; if the
|
||||
string was not a valid base64-encoded certificate.</para>

<title>Encoding Formats</title>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>The string produced by
|
||||
<function>ne_ssl_cert_export</function> is the base64 encoding of
|
||||
the DER representation of the certificate. The file written by
|
||||
<function>ne_ssl_cert_write</function> uses the PEM format: this
|
||||
is the base64 encoding of the DER representation with newlines
|
||||
every 64 characters, and start and end marker lines.</para>
