If 27successful it returns the public key as an B<EVP_PKEY> pointer with its 28reference count incremented: this means the returned key must be freed up 29after use. X509_get0_pubkey() is similar except it does B<not> increment 30the reference count of the returned B<EVP_PKEY> so it must not be freed up 31after use. 32 33X509_get_X509_PUBKEY() returns an internal pointer to the B<X509_PUBKEY> 34structure which encodes the certificate of B<x>. The returned value 35must not be freed up after use. 36 37X509_set_pubkey() attempts to set the public key for certificate B<x> to 38B<pkey>. The key B<pkey> should be freed up after use. 39 40X509_REQ_get_pubkey(), X509_REQ_get0_pubkey(), X509_REQ_set_pubkey() and 41X509_REQ_get_X509_PUBKEY() are similar but operate on certificate request B<req>. 42 43=head1 NOTES 44 45The first time a public key is decoded the B<EVP_PKEY> structure is 46cached in the certificate or certificate request itself. Subsequent calls 47return the cached structure with its reference count incremented to 48improve performance. 49 50=head1 RETURN VALUES 51 52X509_get_pubkey(), X509_get0_pubkey(), X509_get_X509_PUBKEY(), 53X509_REQ_get_pubkey() and X509_REQ_get_X509_PUBKEY() return a public key or 54B<NULL> if an error occurred. 55 56X509_set_pubkey() and X509_REQ_set_pubkey() return 1 for success and 0 57for failure. 58 59=head1 SEE ALSO 60 61L<d2i_X509(3)>, 62L<ERR_get_error(3)>, 63L<X509_CRL_get0_by_serial(3)>, 64L<X509_get0_signature(3)>, 65L<X509_get_ext_d2i(3)>, 66L<X509_get_extension_flags(3)>, 67L<X509_get_subject_name(3)>, 68L<X509_get_version(3)>, 69L<X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(3)>, 70L<X509_NAME_ENTRY_get_object(3)>, 71L<X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID(3)>, 72L<X509_NAME_print_ex(3)>, 73L<X509_new(3)>, 74L<X509_sign(3)>, 75L<X509V3_get_d2i(3)>, 76L<X509_verify_cert(3)> 77 78=head1 COPYRIGHT 79 80Copyright 2015-2016 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
