=head1 SYNOPSIS

 #include <openssl/x509.h>

 const ASN1_TIME *X509_get0_notBefore(const X509 *x);
 const ASN1_TIME *X509_get0_notAfter(const X509 *x);

 ASN1_TIME *X509_getm_notBefore(const X509 *x);
 ASN1_TIME *X509_getm_notAfter(const X509 *x);

 int X509_set1_notBefore(X509 *x, const ASN1_TIME *tm);
 int X509_set1_notAfter(X509 *x, const ASN1_TIME *tm);

 const ASN1_TIME *X509_CRL_get0_lastUpdate(const X509_CRL *crl);
 const ASN1_TIME *X509_CRL_get0_nextUpdate(const X509_CRL *crl);

 int X509_CRL_set1_lastUpdate(X509_CRL *x, const ASN1_TIME *tm);
 int X509_CRL_set1_nextUpdate(X509_CRL *x, const ASN1_TIME *tm);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

X509_get0_notBefore() and X509_get0_notAfter() return the B<notBefore>
and B<notAfter> fields of certificate I<x> respectively. The value
returned is an internal pointer which must not be freed up after
the call.

X509_getm_notBefore() and X509_getm_notAfter() are similar to
X509_get0_notBefore() and X509_get0_notAfter() except they return
non-constant mutable references to the associated date field of
the certificate.

X509_set1_notBefore() and X509_set1_notAfter() set the B<notBefore>
and B<notAfter> fields of I<x> to I<tm>. Ownership of the passed
parameter I<tm> is not transferred by these functions so it must
be freed up after the call.

X509_CRL_get0_lastUpdate() and X509_CRL_get0_nextUpdate() return the
B<lastUpdate> and B<nextUpdate> fields of I<crl>. The value
returned is an internal pointer which must not be freed up after
the call. If the B<nextUpdate> field is absent from I<crl> then
NULL is returned.

X509_CRL_set1_lastUpdate() and X509_CRL_set1_nextUpdate() set the B<lastUpdate>
and B<nextUpdate> fields of I<crl> to I<tm>. Ownership of the passed parameter
I<tm> is not transferred by these functions so it must be freed up after the
call.
For X509_CRL_set1_nextUpdate() the I<tm> argument may be NULL,
which implies removal of the optional B<nextUpdate> field.

=head1 RETURN VALUES

X509_get0_notBefore(), X509_get0_notAfter() and X509_CRL_get0_lastUpdate()
return a pointer to an B<ASN1_TIME> structure.

X509_CRL_get0_lastUpdate() return a pointer to an B<ASN1_TIME> structure
or NULL if the B<lastUpdate> field is absent.

X509_set1_notBefore(), X509_set1_notAfter(), X509_CRL_set1_lastUpdate() and
X509_CRL_set1_nextUpdate() return 1 for success or 0 for failure.
