If B<a> is NULL nothing is done. + +X509_up_ref() increments the reference count of B<a>. + +X509_chain_up_ref() increases the reference count of all certificates in +chain B<x> and returns a copy of the stack. + +=head1 NOTES + +The function X509_up_ref() if useful if a certificate structure is being +used by several different operations each of which will free it up after +use: this avoids the need to duplicate the entire certificate structure. + +The function X509_chain_up_ref() doesn't just up the reference count of +each certificate it also returns a copy of the stack, using sk_X509_dup(), +but it serves a similar purpose: the returned chain persists after the +original has been freed. + +=head1 RETURN VALUES + +If the allocation fails, X509_new() returns B<NULL> and sets an error +code that can be obtained by L<ERR_get_error(3)>. +Otherwise it returns a pointer to the newly allocated structure. + +X509_up_ref() returns 1 for success and 0 for failure. + +X509_chain_up_ref() returns a copy of the stack or B<NULL> if an error +occurred. + +=head1 SEE ALSO + +L<d2i_X509(3)>, +L<ERR_get_error(3)>, +L<X509_CRL_get0_by_serial(3)>, +L<X509_get0_signature(3)>, +L<X509_get_ext_d2i(3)>, +L<X509_get_extension_flags(3)>, +L<X509_get_pubkey(3)>, +L<X509_get_subject_name(3)>, +L<X509_get_version(3)>, +L<X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(3)>, +L<X509_NAME_ENTRY_get_object(3)>, +L<X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID(3)>, +L<X509_NAME_print_ex(3)>, +L<X509_sign(3)>, +L<X509V3_get_d2i(3)>, +L<X509_verify_cert(3)> + +=head1 COPYRIGHT + +Copyright 2002-2016 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
