=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
Several OpenSSL structures can have application-specific data attached to them,
|
|
known as "exdata."
|
|
The specific structures are:
|
|
|
|
APP
|
|
BIO
|
|
DH
|
|
DRBG
|
|
DSA
|
|
EC_KEY
|
|
ENGINE
|
|
RSA
|
|
SSL
|
|
SSL_CTX
|
|
SSL_SESSION
|
|
UI
|
|
UI_METHOD
|
|
X509
|
|
X509_STORE
|
|
X509_STORE_CTX
|
|
|
|
Each is identified by an B<CRYPTO_EX_INDEX_xxx> define in the B<crypto.h>
|
|
header file. In addition, B<CRYPTO_EX_INDEX_APP> is reserved for
|
|
applications to use this facility for their own structures.
|
|
|
|
The API described here is used by OpenSSL to manipulate exdata for specific
|
|
structures. Since the application data can be anything at all it is passed
|
|
and retrieved as a B<void *> type.
|
|
|
|
The B<CRYPTO_EX_DATA> type is opaque. To initialize the exdata part of
|
|
a structure, call CRYPTO_new_ex_data(). This is only necessary for
|
|
B<CRYPTO_EX_INDEX_APP> objects.
|
|
|
|
Exdata types are identified by an B<index>, an integer guaranteed to be
|
|
unique within structures for the lifetime of the program. Applications
|
|
using exdata typically call B<CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index> at startup, and
|
|
store the result in a global variable, or write a wrapper function to
|
|
provide lazy evaluation. The B<class_index> should be one of the
|
|
B<CRYPTO_EX_INDEX_xxx> values. The B<argl> and B<argp> parameters are saved
|
|
to be passed to the callbacks but are otherwise not used. In order to
|
|
transparently manipulate exdata, three callbacks must be provided. The
|
|
semantics of those callbacks are described below.
|
|
|
|
When copying or releasing objects with exdata, the callback functions
|
|
are called in increasing order of their B<index> value.
|
|
|
|
If a dynamic library can be unloaded, it should call CRYPTO_free_ex_index()
|
|
when this is done.
|
|
This will replace the callbacks with no-ops
|
|
so that applications don't crash. Any existing exdata will be leaked.
|
|
|
|
To set or get the exdata on an object, the appropriate type-specific
|
|
routine must be used. This is because the containing structure is opaque
|
|
and the B<CRYPTO_EX_DATA> field is not accessible. In both API's, the
|
|
B<idx> parameter should be an already-created index value.
|
|
|
|
When setting exdata, the pointer specified with a particular index is saved,
|
|
and returned on a subsequent "get" call. If the application is going to
|
|
release the data, it must make sure to set a B<NULL> value at the index,
|
|
to avoid likely double-free crashes.
|
|
|
|
The function B<CRYPTO_free_ex_data> is used to free all exdata attached
|
|
to a structure. The appropriate type-specific routine must be used.
|
|
The B<class_index> identifies the structure type, the B<obj> is
|
|
be the pointer to the actual structure, and B<r> is a pointer to the
|
|
structure's exdata field.
|
|
|
|
=head2 Callback Functions
|
|
|
|
This section describes how the callback functions are used. Applications
|
|
that are defining their own exdata using B<CYPRTO_EX_INDEX_APP> must
|
|
call them as described here.
|
|
|
|
When a structure is initially allocated (such as RSA_new()) then the
|
|
new_func() is called for every defined index. There is no requirement
|
|
that the entire parent, or containing, structure has been set up.
|
|
The new_func() is typically used only to allocate memory to store the
|
|
exdata, and perhaps an "initialized" flag within that memory.
|
|
The exdata value should be set by calling CRYPTO_set_ex_data().
|
|
|
|
When a structure is free'd (such as SSL_CTX_free()) then the
|
|
free_func() is called for every defined index. Again, the state of the
|
|
parent structure is not guaranteed. The free_func() may be called with a
|
|
NULL pointer.
|
|
|
|
Both new_func() and free_func() take the same parameters.
|
|
The B<parent> is the pointer to the structure that contains the exdata.
|
|
The B<ptr> is the current exdata item; for new_func() this will typically
|
|
be NULL. The B<r> parameter is a pointer to the exdata field of the object.
|
|
The B<idx> is the index and is the value returned when the callbacks were
|
|
initially registered via CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() and can be used if
|
|
the same callback handles different types of exdata.
|
|
|
|
dup_func() is called when a structure is being copied. This is only done
|
|
for B<SSL>, B<SSL_SESSION>, B<EC_KEY> objects and B<BIO> chains via
|
|
BIO_dup_chain(). The B<to> and B<from> parameters
|
|
are pointers to the destination and source B<CRYPTO_EX_DATA> structures,
|
|
respectively. The B<from_d> parameter needs to be cast to a B<void **pptr>
|
|
as the API has currently the wrong signature; that will be changed in a
|
|
future version. The B<*pptr> is a pointer to the source exdata.
|
|
When the dup_func() returns, the value in B<*pptr> is copied to the
|
|
destination ex_data. If the pointer contained in B<*pptr> is not modified
|
|
by the dup_func(), then both B<to> and B<from> will point to the same data.
|
|
The B<idx>, B<argl> and B<argp> parameters are as described for the other
|
|
two callbacks. If the dup_func() returns B<0> the whole CRYPTO_dup_ex_data()
|
|
will fail.
|
|
|
|
=head1 RETURN VALUES
|
|
|
|
CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() returns a new index or -1 on failure.
|
|
|
|
CRYPTO_free_ex_index() and
|
|
CRYPTO_set_ex_data() return 1 on success or 0 on failure.
|
|
|
|
CRYPTO_get_ex_data() returns the application data or NULL on failure;
|
|
note that NULL may be a valid value.
|
|
|
|
dup_func() should return 0 for failure and 1 for success.
