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

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 #include <openssl/x509.h>

 void X509_get0_signature(const ASN1_BIT_STRING **psig,
                          const X509_ALGOR **palg,
                          const X509 *x);
 int X509_get_signature_nid(const X509 *x);
 const X509_ALGOR *X509_get0_tbs_sigalg(const X509 *x);

 void X509_REQ_get0_signature(const X509_REQ *crl,
                              const ASN1_BIT_STRING **psig,
                              const X509_ALGOR **palg);
 int X509_REQ_get_signature_nid(const X509_REQ *crl);

 void X509_CRL_get0_signature(const X509_CRL *crl,
                              const ASN1_BIT_STRING **psig,
                              const X509_ALGOR **palg);
 int X509_CRL_get_signature_nid(const X509_CRL *crl);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

X509_get0_signature() sets B<*psig> to the signature of B<x> and B<*palg>
to the signature algorithm of B<x>. The values returned are internal
pointers which B<MUST NOT> be freed up after the call.

X509_get0_tbs_sigalg() returns the signature algorithm in the signed
portion of B<x>.

X509_get_signature_nid() returns the NID corresponding to the signature
algorithm of B<x>.

X509_REQ_get0_signature(), X509_REQ_get_signature_nid()
X509_CRL_get0_signature() and X509_CRL_get_signature_nid() perform the
same function for certificate requests and CRLs.

=head1 NOTES

These functions provide lower level access to signatures in certificates
where an application wishes to analyse or generate a signature in a form
where X509_sign() et al is not appropriate (for example a non standard
or unsupported format).

=head1 RETURN VALUES

X509_get_signature_nid(), X509_REQ_get_signature_nid() and
X509_CRL_get_signature_nid() return a NID.

X509_get0_signature(), X509_REQ_get0_signature() and
X509_CRL_get0_signature() do not return values.
