=head1 DESCRIPTION
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
SSL_load_client_CA_file_ex() reads certificates from I<file> and returns
 | 
						|
a STACK_OF(X509_NAME) with the subject names found. The library context I<libctx>
 | 
						|
and property query I<propq> are used when fetching algorithms from providers.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
SSL_load_client_CA_file() is similar to SSL_load_client_CA_file_ex()
 | 
						|
but uses NULL for the library context I<libctx> and property query I<propq>.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack() reads certificates from I<file>,
 | 
						|
and adds their subject name to the already existing I<stack>.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() reads certificates from every
 | 
						|
file in the directory I<dir>, and adds their subject name to the
 | 
						|
already existing I<stack>.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
SSL_add_store_cert_subjects_to_stack() loads certificates from the
 | 
						|
I<store> URI, and adds their subject name to the already existing
 | 
						|
I<stack>.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=head1 NOTES
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
SSL_load_client_CA_file() reads a file of PEM formatted certificates and
 | 
						|
extracts the X509_NAMES of the certificates found. While the name suggests
 | 
						|
the specific usage as support function for
 | 
						|
L<SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list(3)>,
 | 
						|
it is not limited to CA certificates.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=head1 RETURN VALUES

						|
=item Pointer to STACK_OF(X509_NAME)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Pointer to the subject names of the successfully read certificates.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=back
 | 
						|

The following return values can occur for SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(),
 |

SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack(), and SSL_add_store_cert_subjects_to_stack():
 | 
						|
 |

=head1 EXAMPLES
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Load names of CAs from file and use it as a client CA list:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 SSL_CTX *ctx;
 | 
						|
 STACK_OF(X509_NAME) *cert_names;
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 ...
 | 
						|
 cert_names = SSL_load_client_CA_file("/path/to/CAfile.pem");
 | 
						|
 if (cert_names != NULL)
 | 
						|
     SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list(ctx, cert_names);
 | 
						|
 else
 | 
						|
     /* error */
 | 
						|
 ...
