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 an 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() associates	a pointer to application data
       to the given X509_LOOKUP.

       X509_LOOKUP_get_method_data() retrieves a pointer to application	data
       from the	given X509_LOOKUP.

       X509_LOOKUP_ctrl() is used to set or get	additional data	to or from an
       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 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_load_file() passes a	filename to be loaded immediately 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_file(3).

       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_load_file(),	X509_LOOKUP_add_dir(),
       X509_LOOKUP_add_store(),	and X509_LOOKUP_load_store() are implemented
       as macros that use X509_LOOKUP_ctrl().

       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.

   File	Types
       X509_LOOKUP_load_file() and X509_LOOKUP_add_dir() take a	type, which
       can be one of the following:

       X509_FILETYPE_PEM
	   The file or files that are loaded are expected to be	in PEM format.

       X509_FILETYPE_ASN1
	   The file or files that are loaded are expected to be	in raw DER
	   format.

       X509_FILETYPE_DEFAULT
	   The default certificate file	or directory is	used.  In this case,
	   name	is ignored.

   Control Commands
       The X509_LOOKUP_METHODs built into OpenSSL recognise the	following
       X509_LOOKUP_ctrl() cmds:

       X509_L_FILE_LOAD
	   This	is the command that X509_LOOKUP_load_file() uses.  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() uses.  The URI is
	   passed in argc.

       X509_L_LOAD_STORE
	   This	is the command that X509_LOOKUP_load_store() uses.  The	URI is
	   passed in argc.

RETURN VALUES
       X509_LOOKUP_new() returns an 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 an X509_STORE pointer if	there is one,
       otherwise NULL.

       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.
