          - X509_NAME_ENTRY utility functions

     SYNOPSIS
          ASN1_OBJECT * X509_NAME_ENTRY_get_object(X509_NAME_ENTRY
          *ne); ASN1_STRING * X509_NAME_ENTRY_get_data(X509_NAME_ENTRY
          *ne);

          int X509_NAME_ENTRY_set_object(X509_NAME_ENTRY *ne,
          ASN1_OBJECT *obj); int
          X509_NAME_ENTRY_set_data(X509_NAME_ENTRY *ne, int type,
          unsigned char *bytes, int len);

          X509_NAME_ENTRY
          *X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_txt(X509_NAME_ENTRY **ne, char
          *field, int type, unsigned char *bytes, int len);
          X509_NAME_ENTRY
          *X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_NID(X509_NAME_ENTRY **ne, int
          nid, int type,unsigned char *bytes, int len);
          X509_NAME_ENTRY
          *X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_OBJ(X509_NAME_ENTRY **ne,
          ASN1_OBJECT *obj, int type,unsigned char *bytes, int len);

     DESCRIPTION
          X509_NAME_ENTRY_get_object() retrieves the field name of ne
          in and ASN1_OBJECT structure.

          X509_NAME_ENTRY_get_data() retrieves the field value of ne
          in and ASN1_STRING structure.

          X509_NAME_ENTRY_set_object() sets the field name of ne to
          obj.

          X509_NAME_ENTRY_set_data() sets the field value of ne to
          string type type and value determined by bytes and len.

          X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_txt(),
          X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_NID() and
          X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_OBJ() create and return an
          X509_NAME_ENTRY structure.

     NOTES
          X509_NAME_ENTRY_get_object() and X509_NAME_ENTRY_get_data()
          can be used to examine an X509_NAME_ENTRY function as
          returned by X509_NAME_get_entry() for example.

          X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_txt(),
          X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_NID(), and
          X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_OBJ() create and return an

          X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_txt(),
          X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_OBJ(),
          X509_NAME_ENTRY_create_by_NID() and
          X509_NAME_ENTRY_set_data() are seldom used in practice
          because X509_NAME_ENTRY structures are almost always part of
          X509_NAME structures and the corresponding X509_NAME
          functions are typically used to create and add new entries
          in a single operation.

          The arguments of these functions support similar options to
          the similarly named ones of the corresponding X509_NAME
          functions such as X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(). So for
          example type can be set to MBSTRING_ASC but in the case of
          X509_set_data() the field name must be set first so the
          relevant field information can be looked up internally.
