=head1 NAME

X509_ACERT_get_attr,
X509_ACERT_get_attr_by_NID,
X509_ACERT_get_attr_by_OBJ,
X509_ACERT_get_attr_count
- Retrieve attributes from an X509_ACERT structure

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 #include <openssl/x509_acert.h>

 X509_ATTRIBUTE *X509_ACERT_get_attr(const X509_ACERT *x, int loc);
 int X509_ACERT_get_attr_by_NID(const X509_ACERT *x, int nid, int lastpos);
 int X509_ACERT_get_attr_by_OBJ(const X509_ACERT *x, const ASN1_OBJECT *obj,
                                int lastpos);
 int X509_ACERT_get_attr_count(const X509_ACERT *x);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

X509_ACERT_get0_attr() retrieves the I<loc>th B<X509_ATTRIBUTE> from an
B<X509_ACERT> I<x>.  X509_ACERT_get_attr_count() returns the total number
of attributes in the B<X509_ACERT>.

X509_ACERT_get_attr_by_NID() and X509_ACERT_get_attr_by_OBJ() retrieve the next
attribute location matching I<nid> or I<obj> after I<lastpos>. I<lastpos>
should initially be set to -1.
If there are no more entries -1 is returned. If I<nid> is invalid
(doesn't correspond to a valid OID) then -2 is returned.

=head1 RETURN VALUES

X509_ACERT_get0_attr() return a B<X509_ATTRIBUTE> from an attribute
certificate, or NULL if the specified attribute is not found.

X509_ACERT_get_attr_by_NID() and X509_ACERT_get_attr_by_OBJ() return
the location of the next attribute requested or -1 if not found.
X509_ACERT_get_attr_by_NID() can also return -2 if the supplied NID is invalid.

X509_ACERT_get_attr_count() returns the number of attributes in the given
attribute certificate.

=head1 HISTORY

X509_ACERT_get0_attr(), X509_ACERT_get_attr_by_NID(), X509_ACERT_get_attr_by_OBJ() and
X509_ACERT_get_attr_count() were added in OpenSSL 3.4.
