NAME

        CONF_modules_load_file, CONF_modules_load - OpenSSL configuration functions

SYNOPSIS

        #include <openssl/conf.h>

        int CONF_modules_load_file(const char *filename, const char *appname,
                                  unsigned long flags);
        int CONF_modules_load(const CONF *cnf, const char *appname,
                             unsigned long flags);

DESCRIPTION

       The function CONF_modules_load_file() configures OpenSSL using file
       filename and application name appname. If filename is NULL the standard
       OpenSSL configuration file is used. If appname is NULL the standard
       OpenSSL application name openssl_conf is used.  The behaviour can be
       cutomized using flags.

       CONF_modules_load() is idential to CONF_modules_load_file() except it
       read configuration information from cnf.

NOTES

       The following flags are currently recognized:

       CONF_MFLAGS_IGNORE_ERRORS if set errors returned by individual configu-
       ration modules are ignored. If not set the first module error is con-
       sidered fatal and no further modules are loads.

       Normally any modules errors will add error information to the error
       queue. If CONF_MFLAGS_SILENT is set no error information is added.

       If CONF_MFLAGS_NO_DSO is set configuration module loading from DSOs is
       disabled.

       CONF_MFLAGS_IGNORE_MISSING_FILE if set will make CONF_load_mod-
       ules_file() ignore missing configuration files. Normally a missing con-
       figuration file return an error.

RETURN VALUE

       These functions return 1 for success and a zero or negative value for
       failure. If module errors are not ignored the return code will reflect
       the return value of the failing module (this will always be zero or
       negative).
