=head1 NAME

X509_get_serialNumber, X509_set_serialNumber - get or set certificate serial
number

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 #include <openssl/x509.h>

 ASN1_INTEGER *X509_get_serialNumber(X509 *x);
 int X509_set_serialNumber(X509 *x, ASN1_INTEGER *serial);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

X509_get_serialNumber() returns the serial number of certificate B<x> as an
B<ASN1_INTEGER> structure which can be examined or initialised. The value
returned is an internal pointer which B<MUST NOT> be freed up after the call.

X509_set_serialNumber() sets the serial number of certificate B<x> to
B<serial>. A copy of the serial number is used internally so B<serial> should
be freed up after use.

=head1 RETURN VALUES

X509_get_serialNumber() returns an B<ASN1_INTEGER> structure.

X509_set_serialNumber() returns 1 for success and 0 for failure.
