Rich Salz 9b86974e0c Fix L<> content in manpages
L<foo|foo> is sub-optimal  If the xref is the same as the title,
which is what we do, then you only need L<foo>.  This fixes all
1457 occurrences in 349 files.  Approximately.  (And pod used to
need both.)

=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/ocsp.h>
OCSP_REQUEST *OCSP_REQUEST_new(void);
void OCSP_REQUEST_free(OCSP_REQUEST *req);
OCSP_ONEREQ *OCSP_request_add0_id(OCSP_REQUEST *req, OCSP_CERTID *cid);
int OCSP_request_sign(OCSP_REQUEST *req,
X509 *signer, EVP_PKEY *key, const EVP_MD *dgst,
STACK_OF(X509) *certs, unsigned long flags);
int OCSP_request_add1_cert(OCSP_REQUEST *req, X509 *cert);
int OCSP_request_onereq_count(OCSP_REQUEST *req);
OCSP_ONEREQ *OCSP_request_onereq_get0(OCSP_REQUEST *req, int i);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
OCSP_REQUEST_new() allocates and returns an empty B<OCSP_REQUEST> structure.
OCSP_REQUEST_free() frees up the request structure B<req>.
OCSP_request_add0_id() adds certificate ID B<cid> to B<req>. It returns
the B<OCSP_ONEREQ> structure added so an application can add additional
extensions to the request. The B<id> parameter B<MUST NOT> be freed up after
the operation.
OCSP_request_sign() signs OCSP request B<req> using certificate
B<signer>, private key B<key>, digest B<dgst> and additional certificates
B<certs>. If the B<flags> option B<OCSP_NOCERTS> is set then no certificates
will be included in the request.
OCSP_request_add1_cert() adds certificate B<cert> to request B<req>. The
application is responsible for freeing up B<cert> after use.
OCSP_request_onereq_count() returns the total number of B<OCSP_ONEREQ>
structures in B<req>.
OCSP_request_onereq_get0() returns an internal pointer to the B<OCSP_ONEREQ>
contained in B<req> of index B<i>. The index value B<i> runs from 0 to
OCSP_request_onereq_count(req) - 1.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
OCSP_REQUEST_new() returns an empty B<OCSP_REQUEST> structure or B<NULL> if
an error occurred.
OCSP_request_add0_id() returns the B<OCSP_ONEREQ> structure containing B<cid>
or B<NULL> if an error occurred.
OCSP_request_sign() and OCSP_request_add1_cert() return 1 for success and 0
for failure.
OCSP_request_onereq_count() returns the total number of B<OCSP_ONEREQ>
structures in B<req>.
OCSP_request_onereq_get0() returns a pointer to an B<OCSP_ONEREQ> structure
or B<NULL> if the index value is out or range.
=head1 NOTES
An OCSP request structure contains one or more B<OCSP_ONEREQ> structures
corresponding to each certificate.
OCSP_request_onereq_count() and OCSP_request_onereq_get0() are mainly used by
OCSP responders.
=head1 EXAMPLE
Create an B<OCSP_REQUEST> structure for certificate B<cert> with issuer
B<issuer>:
OCSP_REQUEST *req;
OCSP_ID *cid;
req = OCSP_REQUEST_new();
if (req == NULL)
/* error */
cid = OCSP_cert_to_id(EVP_sha1(), cert, issuer);
if (cid == NULL)
/* error */
if (OCSP_REQUEST_add0_id(req, cid) == NULL)
/* error */
/* Do something with req, e.g. query responder */
OCSP_REQUEST_free(req);
