X509_get_version(3) OpenSSL X509_get_version(3) NAME X509_get_version, X509_set_version, X509_REQ_get_version, X509_REQ_set_version, X509_CRL_get_version, X509_CRL_set_version - get or set certificate, certificate request or CRL version LIBRARY libcrypto, -lcrypto SYNOPSIS #include <openssl/x509.h> long X509_get_version(const X509 *x); int X509_set_version(X509 *x, long version); long X509_REQ_get_version(const X509_REQ *req); int X509_REQ_set_version(X509_REQ *x, long version); long X509_CRL_get_version(const X509_CRL *crl); int X509_CRL_set_version(X509_CRL *x, long version); DESCRIPTION X509_get_version() returns the numerical value of the version field of certificate x. Note: this is defined by standards (X.509 et al) to be one less than the certificate version. So a version 3 certificate will return 2 and a version 1 certificate will return 0. X509_set_version() sets the numerical value of the version field of certificate x to version. Similarly X509_REQ_get_version(), X509_REQ_set_version(), X509_CRL_get_version() and X509_CRL_set_version() get and set the version number of certificate requests and CRLs. NOTES The version field of certificates, certificate requests and CRLs has a DEFAULT value of v1(0) meaning the field should be omitted for version 1. This is handled transparently by these functions. RETURN VALUES X509_get_version(), X509_REQ_get_version() and X509_CRL_get_version() return the numerical value of the version field. X509_set_version(), X509_REQ_set_version() and X509_CRL_set_version() return 1 for success and 0 for failure.
