NCONF_NEW_EX(3ossl) OpenSSL NCONF_NEW_EX(3ossl)
NAME
NCONF_new_ex, NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_default, NCONF_load,
NCONF_get0_libctx, NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_section_names -
functionality to Load and parse configuration files manually
SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/conf.h>
typedef struct {
char *section;
char *name;
char *value;
} CONF_VALUE;
CONF *NCONF_new_ex(OSSL_LIB_CTX *libctx, CONF_METHOD *meth);
CONF *NCONF_new(CONF_METHOD *meth);
void NCONF_free(CONF *conf);
CONF_METHOD *NCONF_default(void);
int NCONF_load(CONF *conf, const char *file, long *eline);
OSSL_LIB_CTX *NCONF_get0_libctx(const CONF *conf);
STACK_OF(CONF_VALUE) *NCONF_get_section(const CONF *conf, const char *name);
STACK_OF(OPENSSL_CSTRING) *NCONF_get_section_names(const CONF *conf);
DESCRIPTION
NCONF_new_ex(3) creates a new CONF object in heap memory and assigns to
it a context libctx that can be used during loading. If the method
table meth is set to NULL then the default value of NCONF_default() is
used.
NCONF_new_ex(3) but sets the libctx to NULL.
NCONF_free() frees the data associated with conf and then frees the
conf object. If the argument is NULL, nothing is done.
NCONF_load() parses the file named filename and adds the values found
to conf. If an error occurs file and eline list the file and line that
the load failed on if they are not NULL.
NCONF_default() gets the default method table for processing a
configuration file.
NCONF_get0_libctx() gets the library context associated with the conf
parameter.
NCONF_get_section_names() gets the names of the sections associated
with the conf as STACK_OF(OPENSSL_CSTRING) strings. The individual
strings are associated with the conf and will be invalid after conf is
freed. The returned stack must be freed with sk_OPENSSL_CSTRING_free().
NCONF_get_section() gets the config values associated with the conf
from the config section name as STACK_OF(CONF_VALUE) structures. The
returned stack is associated with the conf and will be invalid after
conf is freed. It must not be freed by the caller.
RETURN VALUES
NCONF_load() returns 1 on success or 0 on error.
NCONF_new_ex(3) and NCONF_new() return a newly created CONF object or
NULL if an error occurs.
