The \fIname\fR determines what type of object the fetched encoder method is expected to be able to encode, and the properties are used to determine the expected output type. For known properties and the values they may have, please have a look in \*(L"Names and properties\*(R" in \fBprovider\-encoder\fR\|(7). .PP \&\fBOSSL_ENCODER_up_ref()\fR increments the reference count for the given \&\fIencoder\fR. .PP \&\fBOSSL_ENCODER_free()\fR decrements the reference count for the given \&\fIencoder\fR, and when the count reaches zero, frees it. .PP \&\fBOSSL_ENCODER_get0_provider()\fR returns the provider of the given \&\fIencoder\fR. .PP \&\fBOSSL_ENCODER_get0_properties()\fR returns the property definition associated with the given \fIencoder\fR. .PP \&\fBOSSL_ENCODER_is_a()\fR checks if \fIencoder\fR is an implementation of an algorithm that's identifiable with \fIname\fR. .PP \&\fBOSSL_ENCODER_get0_name()\fR returns the name used to fetch the given \fIencoder\fR. .PP \&\fBOSSL_ENCODER_get0_description()\fR returns a description of the \fIloader\fR, meant for display and human consumption. The description is at the discretion of the \&\fIloader\fR implementation. .PP \&\fBOSSL_ENCODER_names_do_all()\fR traverses all names for the given \&\fIencoder\fR, and calls \fIfn\fR with each name and \fIdata\fR as arguments. .PP \&\fBOSSL_ENCODER_do_all_provided()\fR traverses all encoder implementations by all activated providers in the library context \&\fIlibctx\fR, and for each of the implementations, calls \fIfn\fR with the implementation method and \fIarg\fR as arguments. .PP \&\fBOSSL_ENCODER_gettable_params()\fR returns an \s-1\fBOSSL_PARAM\s0\fR\|(3) array of parameter descriptors. .PP \&\fBOSSL_ENCODER_get_params()\fR attempts to get parameters specified with an \s-1\fBOSSL_PARAM\s0\fR\|(3) array \fIparams\fR. Parameters that the implementation doesn't recognise should be ignored. .SH "RETURN VALUES" .IX Header "RETURN VALUES" \&\fBOSSL_ENCODER_fetch()\fR returns a pointer to the key management implementation represented by an \s-1OSSL_ENCODER\s0 object, or \s-1NULL\s0 on error. .PP \&\fBOSSL_ENCODER_up_ref()\fR returns 1 on success, or 0 on error. .PP \&\fBOSSL_ENCODER_free()\fR doesn't return any value. .PP \&\fBOSSL_ENCODER_get0_provider()\fR returns a pointer to a provider object, or \&\s-1NULL\s0 on error. .PP \&\fBOSSL_ENCODER_get0_properties()\fR returns a pointer to a property definition string, or \s-1NULL\s0 on error. .PP \&\fBOSSL_ENCODER_is_a()\fR returns 1 of \fIencoder\fR was identifiable, otherwise 0. .PP \&\fBOSSL_ENCODER_get0_name()\fR returns the algorithm name from the provided implementation for the given \fIencoder\fR. Note that the \fIencoder\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 \fIencoder\fR object and should not be freed by the caller. .PP \&\fBOSSL_ENCODER_get0_description()\fR returns a pointer to a description, or \s-1NULL\s0 if there isn't one. .PP \&\fBOSSL_ENCODER_names_do_all()\fR 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. .SH "SEE ALSO" .IX Header "SEE ALSO" \&\fBprovider\fR\|(7), \s-1\fBOSSL_ENCODER_CTX\s0\fR\|(3), \fBOSSL_ENCODER_to_bio\fR\|(3), \&\fBOSSL_ENCODER_CTX_new_for_pkey\fR\|(3), \s-1\fBOSSL_LIB_CTX\s0\fR\|(3) .SH "HISTORY" .IX Header "HISTORY" The functions described here were added in OpenSSL 3.0. .SH "COPYRIGHT" .IX Header "COPYRIGHT" Copyright 2019\-2023 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
