.. Set up some character translations and predefined strings. \*(-- will
give an unbreakable dash, \*(PI will give pi, \*(L" will give a left
double quote, and \*(R" will give a right double quote. \*(C+ will
give a nicer C++. Capital omega is used to do unbreakable dashes and
therefore won't be available. \*(C` and \*(C' expand to `' in nroff,
nothing in troff, for use with C<>.

Escape single quotes in literal strings from groff's Unicode transform.

If the F register is >0, we'll generate index entries on stderr for
titles (.TH), headers (.SH), subsections (.SS), items (.Ip), and index
entries marked with X<> in POD. Of course, you'll have to process the
output yourself in some meaningful fashion.

Avoid warning from groff about undefined register 'F'.

This method object provides functionality to have providers import key material from the outside, as well as export key material to the outside. Most of the functionality can only be used internally and has no public interface, this object is simply passed into other functions when needed.

\fBEVP_KEYMGMT_fetch() looks for an algorithm within the provider that has been loaded into the \s-1OSSL_LIB_CTX\s0 given by ctx, having the name given by algorithm and the properties given by properties.

\fBEVP_KEYMGMT_up_ref() increments the reference count for the given \fB\s-1EVP_KEYMGMT\s0 keymgmt.

\fBEVP_KEYMGMT_free() decrements the reference count for the given \fB\s-1EVP_KEYMGMT\s0 keymgmt, and when the count reaches zero, frees it.

\fBEVP_KEYMGMT_get0_provider() returns the provider that has this particular implementation.

\fBEVP_KEYMGMT_is_a() checks if keymgmt is an implementation of an algorithm that's identifiable with name.

\fBEVP_KEYMGMT_get0_name() returns the algorithm name from the provided implementation for the given keymgmt. Note that the keymgmt may have multiple synonyms associated with it. In this case the first name from the algorithm definition is returned. Ownership of the returned string is retained by the keymgmt object and should not be freed by the caller.

\fBEVP_KEYMGMT_names_do_all() traverses all names for the keymgmt, and calls fn with each name and data.

\fBEVP_KEYMGMT_get0_description() returns a description of the keymgmt, meant for display and human consumption. The description is at the discretion of the keymgmt implementation.

\fBEVP_KEYMGMT_do_all_provided() traverses all key keymgmt implementations by all activated providers in the library context libctx, and for each of the implementations, calls fn with the implementation method and \fIdata as arguments.

\fBEVP_KEYMGMT_gettable_params() and EVP_KEYMGMT_settable_params() return a constant \s-1OSSL_PARAM\s0\|(3) array that describes the names and types of key parameters that can be retrieved or set. \fBEVP_KEYMGMT_gettable_params() is used by EVP_PKEY_gettable_params\|(3).

\fBEVP_KEYMGMT_gen_settable_params() returns a constant \s-1OSSL_PARAM\s0\|(3) array that describes the names and types of key generation parameters that can be set via \fBEVP_PKEY_CTX_set_params\|(3).

Header "NOTES" \fBEVP_KEYMGMT_fetch() may be called implicitly by other fetching functions, using the same library context and properties. Any other \s-1API\s0 that uses keys will typically do this. Header "RETURN VALUES" \fBEVP_KEYMGMT_fetch() returns a pointer to the key management implementation represented by an \s-1EVP_KEYMGMT\s0 object, or \s-1NULL\s0 on error.

\fBEVP_KEYMGMT_up_ref() returns 1 on success, or 0 on error.

\fBEVP_KEYMGMT_names_do_all() returns 1 if the callback was called for all names. A return value of 0 means that the callback was not called for any names.

\fBEVP_KEYMGMT_free() doesn't return any value.

\fBEVP_KEYMGMT_get0_provider() returns a pointer to a provider object, or \s-1NULL\s0 on error.

\fBEVP_KEYMGMT_is_a() returns 1 of keymgmt was identifiable, otherwise 0.

\fBEVP_KEYMGMT_get0_name() returns the algorithm name, or \s-1NULL\s0 on error.

\fBEVP_KEYMGMT_get0_description() returns a pointer to a description, or \s-1NULL\s0 if there isn't one.

\fBEVP_KEYMGMT_gettable_params(), EVP_KEYMGMT_settable_params() and \fBEVP_KEYMGMT_gen_settable_params() return a constant \s-1OSSL_PARAM\s0\|(3) array or \s-1NULL\s0 on error.
