+B<X509_LOOKUP_hash_dir> is a more advanced method, which loads
+certificates and CRLs on demand, and caches them in memory once
+they are loaded. As of OpenSSL 1.0.0, it also checks for newer CRLs
+upon each lookup, so that newer CRLs are as soon as they appear in
+the directory.
+
+The directory should contain one certificate or CRL per file in PEM format,
+with a file name of the form I<hash>.I<N> for a certificate, or
+I<hash>.B<r>I<N> for a CRL.
+The I<hash> is the value returned by the L<X509_NAME_hash(3)> function applied
+to the subject name for certificates or issuer name for CRLs.
+The hash can also be obtained via the B<-hash> option of the L<x509(1)> or
+L<crl(1)> commands.
+
+The .I<N> or .B<r>I<N> suffix is a sequence number that starts at zero, and is
+incremented consecutively for each certificate or CRL with the same I<hash>
+value.
+Gaps in the sequence numbers are not supported, it is assumed that there are no
+more objects with the same hash beyond the first missing number in the
+sequence.
+
+Sequence numbers make it possible for the directory to contain multiple
+certificates with same subject name hash value.
+For example, it is possible to have in the store several certificates with same
+subject or several CRLs with same issuer (and, for example, different validity
+period).
+
+When checking for new CRLs once one CRL for given hash value is
+loaded, hash_dir lookup method checks only for certificates with
+sequence number greater than that of the already cached CRL.

+Note that the hash algorithm used for subject name hashing changed in OpenSSL
+1.0.0, and all certificate stores have to be rehashed when moving from OpenSSL
 0.9.8 to 1.0.0.
