48.Sh DESCRIPTION
49Even though the X.501
50.Vt Name
51documented in
52.Xr X509_NAME_new 3
53is a complicated multi-layered structure, it is very rigid and not
54flexible enough to represent various entities that many people want
55to use as names in certificates.
56For that reason, X.509 extensions use the X.509
57.Vt GeneralName
58wrapper structure rather than using the X.501
59.Vt Name
60structure directly, at the expense of adding one or two additional
61layers of indirection.
62.Pp
63.Fn GENERAL_NAME_new
64allocates and initializes an empty
65.Vt GENERAL_NAME
66object, representing the ASN.1
67.Vt GeneralName
68structure defined in RFC 5280 section 4.2.1.6.
69It can for example hold an
70.Vt X509_name
71object, an IP address, a DNS host name, a uniform resource identifier,
72an email address, or an
73.Vt EDIPARTYNAME
74or
75.Vt OTHERNAME
76object described below.
77.Fn GENERAL_NAME_free
78frees
79.Fa name .
80.Pp
81.Fn GENERAL_NAMES_new
82allocates and initializes an empty
83.Vt GENERAL_NAMES
84object, which is a
85.Vt STACK_OF(GENERAL_NAME)
86and represents the ASN.1
87.Vt GeneralNames
88structure defined in RFC 5280 section 4.2.1.6.
89It is used by extension structures that can contain multiple names,
90for example key identifier, alternative name, and distribution point
91extensions.
92.Fn GENERAL_NAMES_free
93frees
94.Fa names .
95.Pp
96.Fn EDIPARTYNAME_new
97allocates and initializes an empty
98.Vt EDIPARTYNAME
99object, representing the ASN.1
100.Vt EDIPartyName
101structure defined in RFC 5280 section 4.2.1.6, where
102.Dq EDI
103stands for
104.Dq electronic data identifier .
105It can hold two strings, the name itself and the name of the authority
106that assigned that name.
107.Fn EDIPARTYNAME_free
108frees
109.Fa name .

111.Fn OTHERNAME_new
112allocates and initializes an empty

114object, representing the ASN.1
115.Vt OtherName
116structure defined in RFC 5280 section 4.2.1.6.
117It can hold data of any
118.Vt ASN1_TYPE
119together with a type identifier.
