DESCRIPTION

OCSP_RESPONSE_new() allocates and initializes an empty OCSP_RESPONSE object, representing an ASN.1 OCSPResponse structure defined in RFC 6960. OCSP_RESPONSE_free() frees resp.
OCSP_RESPBYTES_new() allocates and initializes an empty OCSP_RESPBYTES object, representing an ASN.1 ResponseBytes structure defined in RFC 6960. Such an object is used inside OCSP_RESPONSE. OCSP_RESPBYTES_free() frees respbytes.
OCSP_BASICRESP_new() allocates and initializes an empty OCSP_BASICRESP object, representing an ASN.1 BasicOCSPResponse structure defined in RFC 6960. OCSP_RESPBYTES contains the DER-encoded form of an OCSP_BASICRESP object. OCSP_BASICRESP_free() frees bs.
OCSP_RESPDATA_new() allocates and initializes an empty OCSP_RESPDATA object, representing an ASN.1 ResponseData structure defined in RFC 6960. Such an object is used inside OCSP_BASICRESP. OCSP_RESPDATA_free() frees respdata.
OCSP_RESPID_new() allocates and initializes an empty OCSP_RESPID object, representing an ASN.1 ResponderID structure defined in RFC 6960. Such an object is used inside OCSP_RESPDATA. OCSP_RESPID_free() frees respid.
OCSP_response_create() creates an OCSP_RESPONSE object for status and optionally including the basic response bs.
OCSP_response_status() returns the OCSP response status of resp. It returns one of the values OCSP_RESPONSE_STATUS_SUCCESSFUL, OCSP_RESPONSE_STATUS_MALFORMEDREQUEST, OCSP_RESPONSE_STATUS_INTERNALERROR, OCSP_RESPONSE_STATUS_TRYLATER, OCSP_RESPONSE_STATUS_SIGREQUIRED, or OCSP_RESPONSE_STATUS_UNAUTHORIZED.
OCSP_response_status_str() converts one of the status codes returned by OCSP_response_status() to a string consisting of one word.
OCSP_response_get1_basic() decodes and returns the OCSP_BASICRESP object contained in resp. It is only called if the status of a response is OCSP_RESPONSE_STATUS_SUCCESSFUL.
OCSP_basic_sign() signs the OCSP response bs using the certificate signer, the private key key, the digest dgst, and the additional certificates certs. If the flags option OCSP_NOCERTS is set, then no certificates will be included in the request. If the flags option OCSP_RESPID_KEY is set, then the responder is identified by key ID rather than by name.

RETURN VALUES

OCSP_RESPONSE_new() and OCSP_response_create() return a pointer to an OCSP_RESPONSE object or NULL if an error occurred.
OCSP_BASICRESP_new() and OCSP_response_get1_basic() return a pointer to an OCSP_BASICRESP object or NULL if an error occurred.
OCSP_RESPBYTES_new(), OCSP_RESPDATA_new(), and OCSP_RESPID_new() return a pointer to an empty OCSP_RESPBYTES, OCSP_RESPDATA, or OCSP_RESPID object, respectively, or NULL if an error occurred.
OCSP_response_status() returns a status value.
OCSP_response_status_str() returns a pointer to a static string.
OCSP_basic_sign() return 1 on success or 0 on failure.
