Showing IRIX 6.5.30 (default release). Added in IRIX 6.5.22.

     NAME
          PKCS12_parse - parse a PKCS#12 structure

     SYNOPSIS
           #include <openssl/pkcs12.h>

          int PKCS12_parse(PKCS12 *p12, const char *pass, EVP_PKEY
          **pkey, X509 **cert, STACK_OF(X509) **ca);

     DESCRIPTION
          PKCS12_parse() parses a PKCS12 structure.

          p12 is the PKCS12 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
          The parameters pkey and cert cannot be NULL. ca can be
          <NULL> in which case additional certificates will be
          discarded. *ca can also be a valid STACK in which case
          additional certificates are appended to *ca. If *ca is NULL
          a new STACK 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
          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
          EVP_PKEY structure.
