<h1 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h1>
<p>The <b>X509_PUBKEY</b> structure represents the ASN.1 <b>SubjectPublicKeyInfo</b> structure defined in RFC5280 and used in certificates and certificate requests.</p>
<p>X509_PUBKEY_new() allocates and initializes an <b>X509_PUBKEY</b> structure.</p>
<p>X509_PUBKEY_free() frees up <b>X509_PUBKEY</b> structure <b>a</b>. If <b>a</b> is NULL nothing is done.</p>
<p>X509_PUBKEY_set() sets the public key in <b>*x</b> to the public key contained in the <b>EVP_PKEY</b> structure <b>pkey</b>. If <b>*x</b> is not NULL any existing public key structure will be freed.</p>
<p>X509_PUBKEY_get0() returns the public key contained in <b>key</b>. The returned value is an internal pointer which <b>MUST NOT</b> be freed after use.</p>
<p>X509_PUBKEY_get() is similar to X509_PUBKEY_get0() except the reference count on the returned key is incremented so it <b>MUST</b> be freed using EVP_PKEY_free() after use.</p>
<p>d2i_PUBKEY() and i2d_PUBKEY() decode and encode an <b>EVP_PKEY</b> structure using <b>SubjectPublicKeyInfo</b> format. They otherwise follow the conventions of other ASN.1 functions such as d2i_X509().</p>
<p>d2i_PUBKEY_bio(), d2i_PUBKEY_fp(), i2d_PUBKEY_bio() and i2d_PUBKEY_fp() are similar to d2i_PUBKEY() and i2d_PUBKEY() except they decode or encode using a <b>BIO</b> or <b>FILE</b> pointer.</p>
<p>X509_PUBKEY_set0_param() sets the public key parameters of <b>pub</b>. The OID associated with the algorithm is set to <b>aobj</b>. The type of the algorithm parameters is set to <b>type</b> using the structure <b>pval</b>. The encoding of the public key itself is set to the <b>penclen</b> bytes contained in buffer <b>penc</b>. On success ownership of all the supplied parameters is passed to <b>pub</b> so they must not be freed after the call.</p>
<p>X509_PUBKEY_get0_param() retrieves the public key parameters from <b>pub</b>, <b>*ppkalg</b> is set to the associated OID and the encoding consists of <b>*ppklen</b> bytes at <b>*pk</b>, <b>*pa</b> is set to the associated AlgorithmIdentifier for the public key. If the value of any of these parameters is not required it can be set to <b>NULL</b>. All of the retrieved pointers are internal and must not be freed after the call.</p>
<h1 id="NOTES">NOTES</h1>
<p>The <b>X509_PUBKEY</b> functions can be used to encode and decode public keys in a standard format.</p>
<p>In many cases applications will not call the <b>X509_PUBKEY</b> functions directly: they will instead call wrapper functions such as X509_get0_pubkey().</p>
<h1 id="RETURN-VALUES">RETURN VALUES</h1>
<p>If the allocation fails, X509_PUBKEY_new() returns <b>NULL</b> and sets an error code that can be obtained by <a href="../man3/ERR_get_error.html">ERR_get_error(3)</a>.</p>
<p>Otherwise it returns a pointer to the newly allocated structure.</p>
<p>X509_PUBKEY_free() does not return a value.</p>
<p>X509_PUBKEY_get0() and X509_PUBKEY_get() return a pointer to an <b>EVP_PKEY</b> structure or <b>NULL</b> if an error occurs.</p>
<p>X509_PUBKEY_set(), X509_PUBKEY_set0_param() and X509_PUBKEY_get0_param() return 1 for success and 0 if an error occurred.</p>
