CL_CertCache(3)
NAME
  CL_CertCache, CSSM_CL_CertCache - Cache a copy of a certificate (CDSA)

SYNOPSIS
  # include <cdsa/cssm.h>

       API:
       CSSM_RETURN CSSMAPI CSSM_CL_CertCache
       (CSSM_CL_HANDLE CLHandle,
       const CSSM_DATA *Cert,
       CSSM_HANDLE_PTR CertHandle)
       SPI:
       CSSM_RETURN CSSMAPI CSSM_CL_CertCache
       (CSSM_CL_HANDLE CLHandle,
       const CSSM_DATA *Cert,
       CSSM_HANDLE_PTR CertHandle)

LIBRARY
  Common Security Services Manager library (libcssm.so)

PARAMETERS
  CLHandle (input)
	  The handle that describes the certificate library module used to
	  perform this function.

  Cert (input)
	  A pointer to the CSSM_DATA structure containing the encoded
	  certificate.

  CertHandle (output)
	  A pointer to the CSSM_HANDLE that should be used in all future
	  references to the cached certificate.

DESCRIPTION
  This function caches a copy of a certificate for subsequent accesses using
  the functions CSSM_CL_CertGetFirstCachedFieldValue() (CSSM API), or
  CL_CertGetFirstCachedFieldValue() (CL SPI), and
  CSSM_CL_CertGetNextCachedFieldValue() (CSSM API), or
  CL_CertGetNextCachedFieldValue() (CL SPI).

  The input certificate must be in an encoded representation. The Certificate
  Library module can cache the certificate in any appropriate internal
  representation.  Parsed or incrementally parsed representations are common.
  The selected representation is opaque to the caller.

  The application must call CSSM_CL_CertAbortCache() (CSSM API), or
  CL_CertAbortCache() (CL SPI), to remove the cached copy when additional get
  operations will not be performed on the cached certificate.

RETURN VALUE
  A CSSM_RETURN value indicating success or specifying a particular error
  condition. The value CSSM_OK indicates success. All other values represent
  an error condition.

ERRORS
  Errors are described in the CDSA technical standard.	See CDSA_intro(3).

       CSSMERR_CL_INVALID_CERT_POINTER
       CSSMERR_CL_UNKNOWN_FORMAT
