Overview
X509_get_subject_name() returns the subject name of certificate x. The returned value is an internal pointer which must not be freed.
X509_set_subject_name() sets the issuer name of certificate x to name. The name parameter is copied internally and should be freed up when it is no longer needed.
X509_get_issuer_name() and X509_set_issuer_name() are identical to X509_get_subject_name() and X509_set_subject_name() except that they get and set the issuer name of x.
Similarly X509_REQ_get_subject_name(), X509_REQ_set_subject_name(), X509_CRL_get_issuer(), and X509_CRL_set_issuer_name() get or set the subject or issuer names of certificate requests of CRLs, respectively.
Return values
X509_get_subject_name(), X509_get_issuer_name(), X509_REQ_get_subject_name(), and X509_CRL_get_issuer() return a pointer to an X509_NAME object.
X509_set_subject_name(), X509_set_issuer_name(), X509_REQ_set_subject_name(), and X509_CRL_set_issuer_name() return 1 for success or 0 for failure. In some cases of failure, the reason can be determined with ERR_get_error(3).
