.SH DESCRIPTION
These functions implement the RSA PKCS#11 v2.20 specification by using plug-ins
to provide the slots.
.sp
.LP
The \fBSUNW_C_GetMechSession()\fR function initializes the PKCS#11
cryptographic framework and performs all necessary calls to Standard PKCS#11
functions (see \fBlibpkcs11\fR(3LIB)) to create a session capable of providing
operations on the requested mechanism. It is not necessary to call
\fBC_Initialize()\fR or \fBC_GetSlotList()\fR before the first call to
\fBSUNW_C_GetMechSession()\fR.
.sp
.LP
If the \fBSUNW_C_GetMechSession()\fR function is called multiple times, it will
return a new session each time without re-initializing the framework. If it is
unable to return a new session, \fBCKR_SESSION_COUNT\fR is returned.
.sp
.LP
The \fBC_CloseSession()\fR function should be called to release the session
when it is no longer required.
.sp
.LP
The \fBSUNW_C_KeyToObject()\fR function creates a key object for the specified
mechanism from the \fIrawkey\fR data. The object should be destroyed with
\fBC_DestroyObject()\fR when it is no longer required.

The return values of each of the implemented functions are defined and listed
in the RSA PKCS#11 v2.20 specification. See http://www.rsasecurity.com.
.SH USAGE
These functions are not part of the RSA PKCS#11 v2.20 specification. They are
not likely to exist on non-Solaris systems. They are provided as a convenience
to application programmers. Use of these functions will make the application
non-portable to other systems.
