Many OpenSSL functions that use +an X509 object will cause extensions to be processed and cached implicitly. If +this is done implicitly then the default library context and property query +string will be used. In some cases it may be desirable to use some other library +context and property query string. If so then an application can call +X509v3_cache_extensions() explicitly. This should be done before any function +that needs to use those extensions is called - otherwise calling +X509v3_cache_extensions() will have no effect. Typically this means calling this +soon after creation of the X509 object. The X509 object to be processed is +given in I and the library context and property query string to use are given +in I and I. + +=head1 RETURN VALUES + +This function returns 0 if the extensions are invalid or an error occurred. +Otherwise it returns 1. + +=head1 COPYRIGHT + +Copyright 2020 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
