<h1 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h1>
<p>This set of functions are used to compare X509 objects, including X509 certificates, X509 CRL objects and various values in an X509 certificate.</p>
<p>The X509_cmp() function compares two <b>X509</b> objects indicated by parameters <b>a</b> and <b>b</b>. The comparison is based on the <b>memcmp</b> result of the hash values of two <b>X509</b> objects and the canonical (DER) encoding values.</p>
<p>The X509_NAME_cmp() function compares two <b>X509_NAME</b> objects indicated by parameters <b>a</b> and <b>b</b>. The comparison is based on the <b>memcmp</b> result of the canonical (DER) encoding values of the two objects. <a href="../man3/i2d_X509_NAME.html">i2d_X509_NAME(3)</a> has a more detailed description of the DER encoding of the <b>X509_NAME</b> structure.</p>
<p>The X509_issuer_and_serial_cmp() function compares the serial number and issuer values in the given <b>X509</b> objects <b>a</b> and <b>b</b>.</p>
<p>The X509_issuer_name_cmp(), X509_subject_name_cmp() and X509_CRL_cmp() functions are effectively wrappers of the X509_NAME_cmp() function. These functions compare issuer names and subject names of the objects, or issuers of <b>X509_CRL</b> objects, respectively.</p>
<p>The X509_CRL_match() function compares two <b>X509_CRL</b> objects. Unlike the X509_CRL_cmp() function, this function compares the whole CRL content instead of just the issuer name.</p>
<h1 id="RETURN-VALUES">RETURN VALUES</h1>
<p>Like common memory comparison functions, the <b>X509</b> comparison functions return an integer less than, equal to, or greater than zero if object <b>a</b> is found to be less than, to match, or be greater than object <b>b</b>, respectively.</p>
<p>X509_NAME_cmp(), X509_issuer_and_serial_cmp(), X509_issuer_name_cmp(), X509_subject_name_cmp() and X509_CRL_cmp() may return <b>-2</b> to indicate an error.</p>
<h1 id="NOTES">NOTES</h1>
<p>These functions in fact utilize the underlying <b>memcmp</b> of the C library to do the comparison job. Data to be compared varies from DER encoding data, hash value or <b>ASN1_STRING</b>. The sign of the comparison can be used to order the objects but it does not have a special meaning in some cases.</p>
<p>X509_NAME_cmp() and wrappers utilize the value <b>-2</b> to indicate errors in some circumstances, which could cause confusion for the applications.</p>
