.. Set up some character translations and predefined strings. \*(-- will
give an unbreakable dash, \*(PI will give pi, \*(L" will give a left
double quote, and \*(R" will give a right double quote. | will give a
real vertical bar. \*(C+ will give a nicer C++. Capital omega is used
to do unbreakable dashes and therefore won't be available. \*(C` and
\*(C' expand to `' in nroff, nothing in troff, for use with C<>

If the F register is turned on, we'll generate index entries on stderr
for titles (.TH), headers (.SH), subsections (.Sh), items (.Ip), and
index entries marked with X<> in POD. Of course, you'll have to process
the output yourself in some meaningful fashion.

For nroff, turn off justification. Always turn off hyphenation; it
makes way too many mistakes in technical documents.

Title "PKCS12_parse 3"
PKCS12_parse 3 "0.9.7" "2003-02-03" "OpenSSL"
C
"NAME"
PKCS12_parse - parse a PKCS#12 structure
"SYNOPSIS"
Header "SYNOPSIS" .Vb 1 #include <openssl/pkcs12.h> .Ve int PKCS12_parse(\s-1PKCS12\s0 *p12, const char *pass, \s-1EVP_PKEY\s0 **pkey, X509 **cert, STACK_OF(X509) **ca);
"DESCRIPTION"
Header "DESCRIPTION" \fIPKCS12_parse() parses a \s-1PKCS12\s0 structure.

\fBp12 is the \s-1PKCS12\s0 structure to parse. pass is the passphrase to use. If successful the private key will be written to *pkey, the corresponding certificate to *cert and any additional certificates to *ca.

"NOTES"
Header "NOTES" The parameters pkey and cert cannot be \s-1NULL\s0. ca can be <\s-1NULL\s0> in which case additional certificates will be discarded. *ca can also be a valid \s-1STACK\s0 in which case additional certificates are appended to \fB*ca. If *ca is \s-1NULL\s0 a new \s-1STACK\s0 will be allocated.

The friendlyName and localKeyID attributes (if present) on each certificate will be stored in the alias and keyid attributes of the X509 structure.

"BUGS"
Header "BUGS" Only a single private key and corresponding certificate is returned by this function. More complex PKCS#12 files with multiple private keys will only return the first match.

Only friendlyName and localKeyID attributes are currently stored in certificates. Other attributes are discarded.

Attributes currently cannot be store in the private key \s-1EVP_PKEY\s0 structure.
