I agree about the internal fields of opaque structs/objects, but how else can I manipulate these structure? For example, what functions should I use to read the EVP_KEY structure? And where would I learn more about functions/macros like X509_get_issuer_name(), X509_get_pubkey(), X509_extract_key()? Right know I'm using a cross-referencing tool to browse the OpenSSL source code, but there's gotta be a better (less error-prone) way. ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager majord...@openssl.org
