8=head1 SYNOPSIS
9
10 #include <openssl/conf.h>
11
12 CONF *NCONF_new_with_libctx(OPENSSL_CTX *libctx, CONF_METHOD *meth);
13 CONF *NCONF_new(CONF_METHOD *meth);
14 void NCONF_free(CONF *conf);
15 CONF_METHOD *NCONF_default(void);
16 int NCONF_load(CONF *conf, const char *file, long *eline);
17
18=head1 DESCRIPTION
19
20NCONF_new_with_libctx() creates a new CONF object in heap memory and assigns to
21it a context I<libctx> that can be used during loading. If the method table
22I<meth> is set to NULL then the default value of NCONF_default() is used.
23
24NCONF_new() is similar to NCONF_new_with_libctx() but sets the I<libctx> to NULL.
25
26NCONF_free() frees the data associated with I<conf> and then frees the I<conf>
27object.
28
29NCONF_load() parses the file named I<filename> and adds the values found to
30I<conf>. If an error occurs I<file> and I<eline> list the file and line that
31the load failed on if they are not NULL.
32
33NCONF_default() gets the default method table for processing a configuration file.
34
35=head1 RETURN VALUES
36
37NCONF_load() returns 1 on success or 0 on error.
38
39NCONF_new_with_libctx() and NCONF_new() return a newly created I<CONF> object
40or NULL if an error occurs.
