How to add an alias to an Object / NID ?

[Massimiliano Pala]

Hi all,

I was wondering if it was possible to add an alias to an object.
In particular, I would like to add the possibility, for example,
to use "P384" instead of "secp384r1" when retrieving an object ID:

        name_1 = "P384";
        name_2 = "secp384r1";

        ret_1 = OBJ_txt2obj ( name_1, 0 );
        ret_2 = OBJ_txt2obj ( name_2, 0 );

So that ret_1 and ret_2 point to the same object ? Or, at least,
the following returns the same NID:

        nid_1 = OBJ_sn2nid ( name_1);
        nid_2 = OBJ_sn2nid ( name_2);

        ==> nid_1 == nid_2

Is there a way to do that ?

Cheers,
Max
