// The objects library deals with the registration and indexing of ASN.1 object
// identifiers. These values are often written as a dotted sequence of numbers,
// e.g. 1.2.840.113549.1.9.16.3.9.
//
// Internally, OpenSSL likes to deal with these values by numbering them with
// numbers called "nids". OpenSSL has a large, built-in database of common
// object identifiers and also has both short and long names for them.
//
// This library provides functions for translating between object identifiers,
// nids, short names and long names.
//
// The nid values should not be used outside of a single process: they are not
// stable identifiers.
 
 
// Basic operations.
 
// OBJ_dup returns a duplicate copy of |obj| or NULL on allocation failure. The
// caller must call |ASN1_OBJECT_free| on the result to release it.

// OBJ_get0_data returns a pointer to the DER representation of |obj|. This is
// the contents of the DER-encoded identifier, not including the tag and length.
// If |obj| does not have an associated object identifier (i.e. it is a nid-only
// value), this value is the empty string.
OPENSSL_EXPORT const uint8_t *OBJ_get0_data(const ASN1_OBJECT *obj);
 
// OBJ_length returns the length of the DER representation of |obj|. This is the
// contents of the DER-encoded identifier, not including the tag and length. If
// |obj| does not have an associated object identifier (i.e. it is a nid-only
// value), this value is the empty string.
OPENSSL_EXPORT size_t OBJ_length(const ASN1_OBJECT *obj);
 
 
// Looking up nids.
 
// OBJ_obj2nid returns the nid corresponding to |obj|, or |NID_undef| if no
// such object is known.

// OBJ_cbs2nid returns the nid corresponding to the DER data in |cbs|, or

// OBJ_txt2nid returns the nid corresponding to |s|, which may be a short name,

// Getting information about nids.
 
// OBJ_nid2obj returns the |ASN1_OBJECT| corresponding to |nid|, or NULL if

//
// Although the output is not const, this function returns a static, immutable
// |ASN1_OBJECT|. It is not necessary to release the object with
// |ASN1_OBJECT_free|.
//
// However, functions like |X509_ALGOR_set0| expect to take ownership of a
// possibly dynamically-allocated |ASN1_OBJECT|. |ASN1_OBJECT_free| is a no-op
// for static |ASN1_OBJECT|s, so |OBJ_nid2obj| is compatible with such
// functions.
//
// Callers are encouraged to store the result of this function in a const
// pointer. However, if using functions like |X509_ALGOR_set0|, callers may use
// a non-const pointer and manage ownership.

// NULL, then at most |out_len| bytes of the textual form will be written
// there. If |out_len| is at least one, then string written to |out| will
// always be NUL terminated. It returns the number of characters that could

// Handling signature algorithm identifiers.
//
// Some NIDs (e.g. sha256WithRSAEncryption) specify both a digest algorithm and

// and public-key algorithms and the NIDs that specify their combination.
//
// Sometimes the combination NID leaves the digest unspecified (e.g.
// rsassaPss). In these cases, the digest NID is |NID_undef|.

// the signing algorithm |sign_nid|. If successful, it sets |*out_digest_nid|
// and |*out_pkey_nid| and returns one. Otherwise it returns zero. Any of
// |out_digest_nid| or |out_pkey_nid| can be NULL if the caller doesn't need
// that output value.
