X509V3_set_ctx() fills in the basic fields of I<ctx> of type B<X509V3_CTX>,

Any of I<subj>, I<req>, or I<crl> may be provided, pointing to a certificate,
certification request, or certificate revocation list, respectively.
If I<subj> or I<crl> is provided, I<issuer> should point to its issuer,
for instance to help generating an authority key identifier extension.
Note that if I<subj> is provided, I<issuer> may be the same as I<subj>,
which means that I<subj> is self-issued (or even self-signed).

extension definitions is to be checked without actually producing an extension,
or B<X509V3_CTX_REPLACE>, which means that each X.509v3 extension added as
defined in some configuration section shall replace any already existing
