-X509_get_subject_name() returns the subject name of certificate B<x>. The
+X509_NAME_hash_ex() returns a hash value of name I<x> or 0 on failure,

+X509_NAME_hash() returns a hash value of name I<x> or 0 on failure,

+X509_get_subject_name() returns the subject name of certificate I<x>. The
returned value is an internal pointer which B<MUST NOT> be freed.
