.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fBX509_ACERT_print_ex()\fR prints a human readable version of the attribute
certificate \fIacert\fR to BIO \fIbp\fR.
.PP
The following data contained in the attribute certificate is printed
in order:
.IP \(bu 4
The header text "Attribute certificate:" and "Data:" (X509_FLAG_NO_HEADER)
.Sp
= item *
.Sp
The attribute certificate version number as defined by the standard,
followed in parentheses by the value contained in the version field in
hexadecimal notation. If the version number is not a valid value according
to the specification, only the raw value is printed.
See \fBX509_ACERT_get_version\fR\|(3) for details. (X509_FLAG_NO_VERSION)
.Sp
= item *
.Sp
The serial number of the attribute certificate (X509_FLAG_NO_SERIAL)
.Sp
= item *
.Sp
The identity of the holder of the attribute certificate. If the
holder issuer name is present, the first GENERAL_NAME
returned by \fBX509_ACERT_get0_holder_entityName()\fR is printed.
If the holder baseCertificateId is present, the issuer name
(printed with X509_NAME_print_ex) and serial number of the
holder\*(Aqs certificate are displayed. (X509_FLAG_NO_SUBJECT)
.Sp
= item *
.Sp
The name of the attribute certificate issuer as returned from
\&\fBX509_ACERT_get0_issuerName()\fR and printed using \fBX509_NAME_print_ex()\fR.
(X509_FLAG_NO_ISSUER)
.Sp
= item *
.Sp
The period of validity between the times returned from \fBX509_ACERT_get0_notBefore()\fR
and \fBX509_ACERT_get0_notAfter()\fR. The values are printed as a generalized times
using \fBASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_print()\fR. (X509_FLAG_NO_VALIDITY)
.Sp
= item *
.Sp
The list of attributes contained in the attribute certificate.
The attribute type is printed with \fBi2a_ASN1_OBJECT()\fR. String valued
attributes are printed as raw string data. ASN1 encoded values are
printed with \fBASN1_parse_dump()\fR. (X509_FLAG_NO_ATTRIBUTES)
.Sp
= item *
.Sp
All X.509 extensions contained in the attribute certificate. (X509_FLAG_NO_EXTENSIONS)
.Sp
= item *
.Sp
The signature is printed with \fBX509_signature_print()\fR. (X509_FLAG_NO_SIGDUMP)
.Sp
If \fIcflag\fR is specifies as X509_FLAG_COMPAT, all of the above data in the
attribute certificate will be printed.
.Sp
The \fInmflags\fR flag determines the format used to output all fields printed using
\&\fBX509_NAME_print_ex()\fR. See \fBX509_NAME_print_ex\fR\|(3) for details.
.Sp
\&\fBX509_ACERT_print()\fR is equivalent to calling \fBX509_ACERT_print_ex()\fR with the
\&\fInmflags\fR and \fIcflags\fR set to XN_FLAG_COMPAT and X509_FLAG_COMPAT
respectively.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fBX509_ACERT_print_ex()\fR \fBX509_ACERT_print()\fR return 1 for
success and 0 for failure.

.SH HISTORY
.IX Header "HISTORY"
\&\fBX509_ACERT_print()\fR and \fBX509_ACERT_print_ex()\fR were added in OpenSSL 3.4.
