+These functions allow an \fBX509_NAME\fR structure to be examined. The
+\&\fBX509_NAME\fR structure is the same as the \fBName\fR type defined in
+\&\s-1RFC2459\s0 (and elsewhere) and used for example in certificate subject
+and issuer names.
+.PP
+\&\fBX509_NAME_get_index_by_NID()\fR and \fBX509_NAME_get_index_by_OBJ()\fR retrieve
+the next index matching \fBnid\fR or \fBobj\fR after \fBlastpos\fR. \fBlastpos\fR
+should initially be set to \-1. If there are no more entries \-1 is returned.
+If \fBnid\fR is invalid (doesn't correspond to a valid \s-1OID\s0) then \-2 is returned.
+.PP
+\&\fBX509_NAME_entry_count()\fR returns the total number of entries in \fBname\fR.
+.PP
+\&\fBX509_NAME_get_entry()\fR retrieves the \fBX509_NAME_ENTRY\fR from \fBname\fR
+corresponding to index \fBloc\fR. Acceptable values for \fBloc\fR run from
+0 to (X509_NAME_entry_count(name) \- 1). The value returned is an
+internal pointer which must not be freed.
+.PP
+\&\fBX509_NAME_get_text_by_NID()\fR, \fBX509_NAME_get_text_by_OBJ()\fR retrieve
+the \*(L"text\*(R" from the first entry in \fBname\fR which matches \fBnid\fR or
+\&\fBobj\fR, if no such entry exists \-1 is returned. At most \fBlen\fR bytes
+will be written and the text written to \fBbuf\fR will be null
+terminated. The length of the output string written is returned
+excluding the terminating null. If \fBbuf\fR is <\s-1NULL\s0> then the amount
+of space needed in \fBbuf\fR (excluding the final null) is returned.
+.SH "NOTES"
+.IX Header "NOTES"
+\&\fBX509_NAME_get_text_by_NID()\fR and \fBX509_NAME_get_text_by_OBJ()\fR should be
+considered deprecated because they
+have various limitations which make them
+of minimal use in practice. They can only find the first matching
+entry and will copy the contents of the field verbatim: this can
+be highly confusing if the target is a multicharacter string type
+like a BMPString or a UTF8String.
+.PP
+For a more general solution \fBX509_NAME_get_index_by_NID()\fR or
+\&\fBX509_NAME_get_index_by_OBJ()\fR should be used followed by
+\&\fBX509_NAME_get_entry()\fR on any matching indices and then the
+various \fBX509_NAME_ENTRY\fR utility functions on the result.
+.PP
+The list of all relevant \fBNID_*\fR and \fBOBJ_* codes\fR can be found in
+the source code header files <openssl/obj_mac.h> and/or
+<openssl/objects.h>.
+.PP
+Applications which could pass invalid NIDs to \fBX509_NAME_get_index_by_NID()\fR
+should check for the return value of \-2. Alternatively the \s-1NID\s0 validity
+can be determined first by checking OBJ_nid2obj(nid) is not \s-1NULL.\s0
+.SH "RETURN VALUES"
+.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
+\&\fBX509_NAME_get_index_by_NID()\fR and \fBX509_NAME_get_index_by_OBJ()\fR
+return the index of the next matching entry or \-1 if not found.
+\&\fBX509_NAME_get_index_by_NID()\fR can also return \-2 if the supplied
+\&\s-1NID\s0 is invalid.
+.PP
+\&\fBX509_NAME_entry_count()\fR returns the total number of entries.
+.PP
+\&\fBX509_NAME_get_entry()\fR returns an \fBX509_NAME\fR pointer to the
+requested entry or \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR if the index is invalid.
