# NAME

X509_NAME_print_ex, X509_NAME_print_ex_fp, X509_NAME_print, X509_NAME_oneline - X509_NAME printing routines

# SYNOPSIS

     #include <openssl/x509.h>

     int X509_NAME_print_ex(BIO *out, const X509_NAME *nm, int indent, unsigned long flags);
     int X509_NAME_print_ex_fp(FILE *fp, const X509_NAME *nm, int indent, unsigned long flags);
     char * X509_NAME_oneline(const X509_NAME *a, char *buf, int size);
     int X509_NAME_print(BIO *bp, const X509_NAME *name, int obase);

# DESCRIPTION

X509_NAME_print_ex() prints a human readable version of nm to BIO out. Each line (for multiline formats) is indented by indent spaces. The output format can be extensively customised by use of the flags parameter.

X509_NAME_print_ex_fp() is identical to X509_NAME_print_ex() except the output is written to FILE pointer fp.

X509_NAME_oneline() prints an ASCII version of a to buf. If buf is NULL then a buffer is dynamically allocated and returned, and size is ignored. Otherwise, at most size bytes will be written, including the ending '\0', and buf is returned.

X509_NAME_print() prints out name to bp indenting each line by obase characters. Multiple lines are used if the output (including indent) exceeds 80 characters.

# NOTES

The functions X509_NAME_oneline() and X509_NAME_print() are legacy functions which produce a non standard output form, they don't handle multi character fields and have various quirks and inconsistencies. Their use is strongly discouraged in new applications.

Although there are a large number of possible flags for most purposes XN_FLAG_ONELINE, XN_FLAG_MULTILINE or XN_FLAG_RFC2253 will suffice. As noted on the SEE ALSO
