.. 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'.

Title "EVP_PKEY_SET_TYPE 3"

For nroff, turn off justification. Always turn off hyphenation; it makes
way too many mistakes in technical documents.
"NAME"
EVP_PKEY_set_type, EVP_PKEY_set_type_str, EVP_PKEY_set_type_by_keymgmt \- functions to change the EVP_PKEY type
"SYNOPSIS"
Header "SYNOPSIS" .Vb 1 #include <openssl/evp.h> \& int EVP_PKEY_set_type(EVP_PKEY *pkey, int type); int EVP_PKEY_set_type_str(EVP_PKEY *pkey, const char *str, int len); int EVP_PKEY_set_type_by_keymgmt(EVP_PKEY *pkey, EVP_KEYMGMT *keymgmt); .Ve
"DESCRIPTION"
Header "DESCRIPTION" All the functions described here behave the same in so far that they clear all the previous key data and methods from pkey, and reset it to be of the type of key given by the different arguments. If \fIpkey is \s-1NULL,\s0 these functions will still return the same return values as if it wasn't.

\fBEVP_PKEY_set_type() initialises pkey to contain an internal legacy key. When doing this, it finds a \s-1EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD\s0\|(3) corresponding to type, and associates pkey with the findings. It is an error if no \s-1EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD\s0\|(3) could be found for \fItype.

\fBEVP_PKEY_set_type_str() initialises pkey to contain an internal legacy key. When doing this, it finds a \s-1EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD\s0\|(3) corresponding to str that has then length len, and associates \fIpkey with the findings. It is an error if no \s-1EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD\s0\|(3) could be found for \fItype.

For both EVP_PKEY_set_type() and EVP_PKEY_set_type_str(), pkey gets a numeric type, which can be retrieved with EVP_PKEY_get_id\|(3). This numeric type is taken from the \s-1EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD\s0\|(3) that was found, and is equal to or closely related to type in the case of \fBEVP_PKEY_set_type(), or related to str in the case of \fBEVP_PKEY_set_type_str().

\fBEVP_PKEY_set_type_by_keymgmt() initialises pkey to contain an internal provider side key. When doing this, it associates pkey with keymgmt. For keys initialised like this, the numeric type retrieved with EVP_PKEY_get_id\|(3) will always be \s-1EVP_PKEY_NONE\s0.

"RETURN VALUES"
Header "RETURN VALUES" All functions described here return 1 if successful, or 0 on error.
