X509_STORE_CTX_get_by_subject,
X509_STORE_CTX_get_obj_by_subject
- X509 and X509_CRL lookup functions

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 #include <openssl/x509_vfy.h>

 int X509_STORE_CTX_get_by_subject(const X509_STORE_CTX *vs,
                                   X509_LOOKUP_TYPE type,
                                   const X509_NAME *name, X509_OBJECT *ret);
 X509_OBJECT *X509_STORE_CTX_get_obj_by_subject(X509_STORE_CTX *vs,
                                                X509_LOOKUP_TYPE type,
                                                const X509_NAME *name);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

X509_STORE_CTX_get_by_subject() tries to find an object
of given I<type>, which may be B<X509_LU_X509> or B<X509_LU_CRL>,
and subject I<name> from the store in the provided store context I<vs>.
If found and I<ret> is not NULL, it increments the reference count and
stores the looked up object in I<ret>.

X509_STORE_CTX_get_obj_by_subject() is like X509_STORE_CTX_get_by_subject()
but returns the found object on success, else NULL.

=head1 RETURN VALUES

X509_STORE_CTX_get_by_subject() returns 1 if the lookup was successful, else 0.

X509_STORE_CTX_get_obj_by_subject() returns an object on success, else NULL.
