X509_NAME_oneline

[Kevin Coffman]

I read in a posting somewhere that X509_NAME_oneline() is depracated.
Can someone tell me the preferred alternative?

Thanks,
K.C.

You can use X509_NAME_print_ex(...)

for example:

char * X509_NAME_oneline_ex(X509_NAME *a,char *buf,int *size,unsigned long
flag) {
BIO *out=NULL;

out=BIO_new(BIO_s_mem());
if(X509_NAME_print_ex(out,a,0,flag)>0) {
if (buf!=NULL && *size>(int)BIO_number_written(out)) {
memset(buf,0,*size);
BIO_read(out,buf,BIO_number_written(out));
} else {
*size=BIO_number_written(out);
}
}
BIO_free(out);
return (buf);
}

char * X509_NAME_oneline_readable(X509_NAME *a,char *buf,int size) {
return X509_NAME_oneline_ex(a,buf,size,XN_FLAG_ONELINE);
}

/* reverse */
char * X509_NAME_oneline_RFC2253(X509_NAME *a,char *buf,int size) {
return X509_NAME_oneline_ex(a,buf,size,XN_FLAG_RFC2253);
}

there are some other flags, see documentation.
