The algorithm will be one offering functions for performing asymmetric cipher related tasks such as asymmetric encryption and decryption. See \*(L"\s-1ALGORITHM FETCHING\*(R"\s0 in \fBcrypto\fR\|(7) for further information. .PP The returned value must eventually be freed with \fBEVP_ASYM_CIPHER_free()\fR. .PP \&\fBEVP_ASYM_CIPHER_free()\fR decrements the reference count for the \fB\s-1EVP_ASYM_CIPHER\s0\fR structure. Typically this structure will have been obtained from an earlier call to \fBEVP_ASYM_CIPHER_fetch()\fR. If the reference count drops to 0 then the structure is freed. .PP \&\fBEVP_ASYM_CIPHER_up_ref()\fR increments the reference count for an \&\fB\s-1EVP_ASYM_CIPHER\s0\fR structure. .PP \&\fBEVP_ASYM_CIPHER_is_a()\fR returns 1 if \fIcipher\fR is an implementation of an algorithm that's identifiable with \fIname\fR, otherwise 0. .PP \&\fBEVP_ASYM_CIPHER_get0_provider()\fR returns the provider that \fIcipher\fR was fetched from. .PP \&\fBEVP_ASYM_CIPHER_do_all_provided()\fR traverses all EVP_ASYM_CIPHERs implemented by all activated providers in the given library context \fIlibctx\fR, and for each of the implementations, calls the given function \fIfn\fR with the implementation method and the given \fIarg\fR as argument. .PP \&\fBEVP_ASYM_CIPHER_get0_name()\fR returns the algorithm name from the provided implementation for the given \fIcipher\fR. Note that the \fIcipher\fR 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 \fIcipher\fR object and should not be freed by the caller. .PP \&\fBEVP_ASYM_CIPHER_names_do_all()\fR traverses all names for \fIcipher\fR, and calls \&\fIfn\fR with each name and \fIdata\fR. .PP \&\fBEVP_ASYM_CIPHER_get0_description()\fR returns a description of the \fIcipher\fR, meant for display and human consumption. The description is at the discretion of the \fIcipher\fR implementation. .PP \&\fBEVP_ASYM_CIPHER_gettable_ctx_params()\fR and \fBEVP_ASYM_CIPHER_settable_ctx_params()\fR return a constant \s-1\fBOSSL_PARAM\s0\fR\|(3) array that describes the names and types of key parameters that can be retrieved or set by a key encryption algorithm using \&\fBEVP_PKEY_CTX_get_params\fR\|(3) and \fBEVP_PKEY_CTX_set_params\fR\|(3). .SH "RETURN VALUES" .IX Header "RETURN VALUES" \&\fBEVP_ASYM_CIPHER_fetch()\fR returns a pointer to an \fB\s-1EVP_ASYM_CIPHER\s0\fR for success or \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR for failure. .PP \&\fBEVP_ASYM_CIPHER_up_ref()\fR returns 1 for success or 0 otherwise. .PP \&\fBEVP_ASYM_CIPHER_names_do_all()\fR returns 1 if the callback was called for all names.
