NAME
X509_get0_signature, X509_REQ_get0_signature, X509_CRL_get0_signature, X509_get0_tbs_sigalg, X509_get_signature_type, X509_get_signature_nid, X509_REQ_get_signature_nid, X509_CRL_get_signature_nid - signature information

DESCRIPTION
X509_get0_signature(), X509_REQ_get0_signature(), and X509_CRL_get0_signature() set *psig to the signature and *palg to the signature algorithm of x, req, or crl, respectively. X509_get0_tbs_sigalg() returns the signature algorithm in the signed portion of x. The values returned are internal pointers that must not be freed by the caller.

X509_get_signature_type() returns the base NID corresponding to the signature algorithm of x just like EVP_PKEY_base_id(3) does.

X509_get_signature_nid(), X509_REQ_get_signature_nid(), and X509_CRL_get_signature_nid() return the NID corresponding to the signature algorithm of x, req, or crl, respectively, just like EVP_PKEY_id(3) does.

These functions provide lower level access to the signature for cases where an application wishes to analyse or generate a signature in a form where X509_sign(3) is not appropriate, for example in a non-standard or unsupported format.
