[ACCEPTED]-Extract pem certificate information programmatically using openssl-pem
Accepted answer
The X509_print_ex family of functions is your answer.
#include <openssl/x509.h>
#include <openssl/pem.h>
#include <openssl/bio.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
X509 *x509;
BIO *i = BIO_new(BIO_s_file());
BIO *o = BIO_new_fp(stdout,BIO_NOCLOSE);
if((argc < 2) ||
(BIO_read_filename(i, argv[1]) <= 0) ||
((x509 = PEM_read_bio_X509_AUX(i, NULL, NULL, NULL)) == NULL)) {
return -1;
}
X509_print_ex(o, x509, XN_FLAG_COMPAT, X509_FLAG_COMPAT);
}

As additional information related to this 5 question, in case of having a certificate 4 with the DER format instead of PEM; it is 3 also possible to extract the information 2 in a human readable mode using the following 1 code:
//Assuming that the DER certificate binary information is stored in
//a byte array (unsigned char) called "pData" whose size is "lenData"
X509* x509;
BIO* input = BIO_new_mem_buf((void*)pData, lenData);
//d2i_X509_bio: Decodes the binary DER certificate
//and parses it to a X509 structure
x509 = d2i_X509_bio(input, NULL);
if (x509 == NULL)
{
//Error in d2i_X509_bio
}
else
{
//"certificateFile" is the full path file
//where to store the certificate information
//in a human readable mode (instead of stdout)
FILE* fd = fopen(certificateFile, "w+");
BIO* output = BIO_new_fp(fd, BIO_NOCLOSE);
X509_print_ex(output, x509, XN_FLAG_COMPAT, X509_FLAG_COMPAT);
fclose(fd);
BIO_free_all(output);
}
BIO_free_all(input);
