X509_REQ_get_attr_by_OBJ() finds the location of the first matching object obj in the req attribute list. The search starts at the position after lastpos. If the returned value is positive then it can be used on the next call to X509_REQ_get_attr_by_OBJ() as the value of lastpos in order to iterate through the remaining attributes. lastpos can be set to any negative value on the first call, in order to start searching from the start of the attribute list.

X509_REQ_get_attr_by_NID() is similar to X509_REQ_get_attr_by_OBJ() except that it passes the numerical identifier (NID) nid associated with the object. See <openssl/obj_mac.h> for a list of NID_*.

X509_REQ_get_attr() returns the X509_ATTRIBUTE object at index loc in the req attribute list. loc should be in the range from 0 to X509_REQ_get_attr_count() - 1.

X509_REQ_delete_attr() removes the X509_ATTRIBUTE object at index loc in the req objects list of attributes. An error occurs if req is NULL.

X509_REQ_add1_attr() pushes a copy of the passed in X509_ATTRIBUTE attr> to the req object's attribute list. An error will occur if either the attribute list is NULL or the attribute already exists.

X509_REQ_add1_attr_by_OBJ() creates a new X509_ATTRIBUTE using X509_ATTRIBUTE_set1_object() and X509_ATTRIBUTE_set1_data() to assign a new obj with type type and data bytes of length len and then pushes it to the req object's attribute list. req must be non NULL or an error will occur. If obj already exists in the attribute list then an error occurs.

X509_REQ_add1_attr_by_NID() is similar to X509_REQ_add1_attr_by_OBJ() except that it passes the numerical identifier (NID) nid associated with the object. See <openssl/obj_mac.h> for a list of NID_*.

X509_REQ_add1_attr_by_txt() is similar to X509_REQ_add1_attr_by_OBJ() except that it passes a name attrname associated with the object. See <openssl/obj_mac.h> for a list of SN_* names.

Refer to X509_ATTRIBUTE(3) for information related to attributes.

X509_REQ_get_attr_count() returns the number of attributes in the req object attribute list or -1 if the attribute list is NULL.

X509_REQ_get_attr_by_OBJ() returns -1 if either the req object's attribute list is empty OR obj is not found, otherwise it returns the location of the obj in the attribute list.

X509_REQ_get_attr_by_NID() is similar to X509_REQ_get_attr_by_OBJ(), except that it returns -2 if the nid is not known by OpenSSL.

X509_REQ_get_attr() returns either an X509_ATTRIBUTE or NULL on error.

X509_REQ_delete_attr() returns either the removed X509_ATTRIBUTE or NULL if there is a error.

X509_REQ_add1_attr(), X509_REQ_add1_attr_by_OBJ(), X509_REQ_add1_attr_by_NID() and X509_REQ_add1_attr_by_txt() return 1 on success or 0 on error.

Any functions that modify the attributes (add or delete) internally set a flag to indicate the ASN.1 encoding has been modified.
