Documents the CTLOG functions
CTLOG_new_null() has been removed from the code, so it has also been
removed from this POD.

A name must also be provided that can be +used to help users identify this log. Ownership of the public key is +transferred. +CTLOG_new_from_base64() also creates a new CTLOG, but takes the public key in +base64-encoded DER form and sets the ct_log pointer to point to the new CTLOG. +The base64 will be decoded and the public key parsed. -=head1 NOTES +Regardless of whether CTLOG_new() or CTLOG_new_from_base64() is used, it is the +caller's responsibility to pass the CTLOG to CTLOG_free() once it is no longer +needed. This will delete it and, if created by CTLOG_new(), the EVP_PKEY that +was passed to it. +CTLOG_get0_name() returns the name of the log, as provided when the CTLOG was +created. Ownership of the string remains with the CTLOG. +CTLOG_get0_log_id() sets *log_id to point to a string containing that log's +LogID (see RFC 6962). It sets *log_id_len to the length of that LogID. For a +v1 CT log, the LogID will be a SHA-256 hash (i.e. 32 bytes long). Ownership of +the string remains with the CTLOG. + +CTLOG_get0_public_key() returns the public key of the CT log. Ownership of the +EVP_PKEY remains with the CTLOG. +with =head1 RETURN VALUES +CTLOG_new() will return NULL if an error occurs. +CTLOG_new_from_base64() will return 1 on success, 0 otherwise. =head1 SEE ALSO |
