The arguments of the control command are passed via <i>argc</i> and <i>argl</i>, its return value via <i>*ret</i>. The meaning of the arguments depends on the <i>cmd</i> number of the control command. In general, this function is not called directly, but wrapped by a macro call, see below. The control <i>cmd</i>s known to OpenSSL are discussed in more depth in <a href="#Control-Commands">"Control Commands"</a>.</p> <p>X509_LOOKUP_load_file() passes a filename to be loaded immediately into the associated <b>X509_STORE</b>. <i>type</i> indicates what type of object is expected.
