CRYPTO_set_ex_data(3)                              OpenSSL                             CRYPTO_set_ex_data(3)



NAME
       CRYPTO_set_ex_data, CRYPTO_get_ex_data - internal application specific data functions

SYNOPSIS
        int CRYPTO_set_ex_data(CRYPTO_EX_DATA *r, int idx, void *arg);

        void *CRYPTO_get_ex_data(CRYPTO_EX_DATA *r, int idx);

DESCRIPTION
       Several OpenSSL structures can have application specific data attached to them.  These functions are
       used internally by OpenSSL to manipulate application specific data attached to a specific structure.

       These functions should only be used by applications to manipulate CRYPTO_EX_DATA structures passed to
       the nw_fn(, fe_fn( and dp_fn( callbacks: as passed to RA_gt_e_nw_idx) for
       example.

       CYT_st_e_dt( is used to set application specific data, the data is supplied in the arg
       parameter and its precise meaning is up to the application.

       CYT_gt_e_dt( is used to retrieve application specific data. The data is returned to the
       application, this will be the same value as supplied to a previous CYT_st_e_dt( call.

RETURN VALUES
       CYT_st_e_dt( returns 1 on success or 0 on failure.

       CYT_gt_e_dt( returns the application data or 0 on failure. 0 may also be valid application
       data but currently it can only fail if given an invalid idx parameter.

       On failure an error code can be obtained from ERR_get_error(3).
