+=head1 NAME
+
+d2i_X509_NAME, i2d_X509_NAME - X509_NAME encoding functions
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ #include <openssl/x509.h>
+
+ X509_NAME *d2i_X509_NAME(X509_NAME **a, unsigned char **pp, long length);
+ int i2d_X509_NAME(X509_NAME *a, unsigned char **pp);
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+These functions decode and encode an B<X509_NAME> structure which is the
+the same as the B<Name> type defined in RFC2459 (and elsewhere) and used
+for example in certificate subject and issuer names.
+
+Othewise the functions behave in a similar way to d2i_X509() and i2d_X509()
+described in the L<d2i_X509(3)|d2i_X509(3)> manual page.
