PKCS12_init(3)                      OpenSSL                     PKCS12_init(3)



NAME
       PKCS12_init, PKCS12_init_ex - Create a new empty PKCS#12 structure

LIBRARY
       libcrypto, -lcrypto

SYNOPSIS
        #include <openssl/pkcs12.h>

        PKCS12 *PKCS12_init(int mode);
        PKCS12 *PKCS12_init_ex(int mode, OSSL_LIB_CTX *ctx, const char *propq);

DESCRIPTION
       PKCS12_init() creates an empty PKCS#12 structure. Any PKCS#7 authSafes
       added to this structure are enclosed first within a single PKCS#7
       contentInfo of type mode. Currently the only supported type is
       NID_pkcs7_data.

       PKCS12_init_ex() creates an empty PKCS#12 structure and assigns the
       supplied ctx and propq to be used to select algorithm implementations
       for operations performed on the PKCS12 object.

RETURN VALUES
       PKCS12_init() and PKCS12_init_ex() return a valid PKCS12 structure or
       NULL if an error occurred.
