DESCRIPTION
X509_NAME_ENTRY_get_object() retrieves the field name of ne
in and ASN1_OBJECT structure.
X509_NAME_ENTRY_get_data() retrieves the field value of ne
in and ASN1_STRING structure.
X509_NAME_ENTRY_set_object() sets the field name of ne to
obj.
X509_NAME_ENTRY_set_data() sets the field value of ne to
string type type and value determined by bytes and len.
X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_txt(),
X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_NID() and
X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_OBJ() create and return an
X509_NAME_ENTRY structure.
NOTES
X509_NAME_ENTRY_get_object() and X509_NAME_ENTRY_get_data()
can be used to examine an X509_NAME_ENTRY function as
returned by X509_NAME_get_entry() for example.

X509_NAME_ENTRY_get_obj12/Nov/2002 (X509_NAME_ENTRY_get_object(3)X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_OBJ() create and return an
X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_txt(),
X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_OBJ(),
X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_NID() and
X509_NAME_ENTRY_set_data() are seldom used in practice
because X509_NAME_ENTRY structures are almost always part of
X509_NAME structures and the corresponding X509_NAME
functions are typically used to create and add new entries
in a single operation.
The arguments of these functions support similar options to
the similarly named ones of the corresponding X509_NAME
functions such as X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(). So for
example type can be set to MBSTRING_ASC but in the case of
X509_set_data() the field name must be set first so the
relevant field information can be looked up internally.
