=head1 NAME
X509_get_notBefore, X509_get_notAfter, X509_set_notBefore,
X509_set_notAfter, X509_CRL_get_lastUpdate, X509_CRL_get_nextUpdate,
X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate, X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate - get or set certificate
or CRL dates
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/x509.h>
ASN1_TIME *X509_get_notBefore(const X509 *x);
ASN1_TIME *X509_get_notAfter(const X509 *x);
int X509_set_notBefore(X509 *x, const ASN1_TIME *tm);
int X509_set_notAfter(X509 *x, const ASN1_TIME *tm);
ASN1_TIME *X509_CRL_get_lastUpdate(const X509_CRL *crl);
ASN1_TIME *X509_CRL_get_nextUpdate(const X509_CRL *crl);
int X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(X509_CRL *x, const ASN1_TIME *tm);
int X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(X509_CRL *x, const ASN1_TIME *tm);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
X509_get_notBefore() and X509_get_notAfter() return the B<notBefore>
and B<notAfter> fields of certificate B<x> respectively. The value
returned is an internal pointer which must not be freed up after
the call.
X509_set_notBefore() and X509_set_notAfter() set the B<notBefore>
and B<notAfter> fields of B<x> to B<tm>. Ownership of the passed
parameter B<tm> is not transferred by these functions so it must
be freed up after the call.
X509_CRL_get_lastUpdate() and X509_CRL_get_nextUpdate() return the
B<lastUpdate> and B<nextUpdate> fields of B<crl>. The value
returned is an internal pointer which must not be freed up after
the call. If the B<nextUpdate> field is absent from B<crl> then
B<NULL> is returned.
X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate() and X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate() set the B<lastUpdate>
and B<nextUpdate> fields of B<crl> to B<tm>. Ownership of the passed parameter
B<tm> is not transferred by these functions so it must be freed up after the
call.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
X509_get_notBefore(), X509_get_notAfter() and X509_CRL_get_lastUpdate()
return a pointer to an B<ASN1_TIME> structure.
X509_CRL_get_lastUpdate() return a pointer to an B<ASN1_TIME> structure
or NULL if the B<lastUpdate> field is absent.
X509_set_notBefore(), X509_set_notAfter(), X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate() and
X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate() return 1 for success or 0 for failure.
