CRYPTO_SET_EX_DATA(3) OpenSSL CRYPTO_SET_EX_DATA(3)NAME
CRYPTO_set_ex_data, CRYPTO_get_ex_data - internal applica-
tion specific data functions
SYNOPSIS
int CRYPTO_set_ex_data(CRYPTO_EX_DATA *r, int idx, void *arg);
void *CRYPTO_get_ex_data(CRYPTO_EX_DATA *r, int idx);
DESCRIPTION
Several OpenSSL structures can have application specific
data attached to them. These functions are used internally
by OpenSSL to manipulate application specific data attached
to a specific structure.
These functions should only be used by applications to mani-
pulate CRYPTO_EX_DATA structures passed to the new_func(),
free_func() and dup_func() callbacks: as passed to
RSA_get_ex_new_index() for example.
CRYPTO_set_ex_data() is used to set application specific
data, the data is supplied in the arg parameter and its pre-
cise meaning is up to the application.
CRYPTO_get_ex_data() is used to retrieve application
specific data. The data is returned to the application, this
will be the same value as supplied to a previous
CRYPTO_set_ex_data() call.
RETURN VALUESCRYPTO_set_ex_data() returns 1 on success or 0 on failure.
CRYPTO_get_ex_data() returns the application data or 0 on
failure. 0 may also be valid application data but currently
it can only fail if given an invalid idx parameter.
On failure an error code can be obtained from
ERR_get_error(3).

available since SSLeay 0.9.0.
