32  *
33  * # API Layout
34  *
35  * The functions and structures defined by the BearSSL API are located
36  * in various header files:
37  *
38  * | Header file     | Elements                                          |
39  * | :-------------- | :------------------------------------------------ |
40  * | bearssl_hash.h  | Hash functions                                    |
41  * | bearssl_hmac.h  | HMAC                                              |
42  * | bearssl_kdf.h   | Key Derivation Functions                          |
43  * | bearssl_rand.h  | Pseudorandom byte generators                      |
44  * | bearssl_prf.h   | PRF implementations (for SSL/TLS)                 |
45  * | bearssl_block.h | Symmetric encryption                              |
46  * | bearssl_aead.h  | AEAD algorithms (combined encryption + MAC)       |
47  * | bearssl_rsa.h   | RSA encryption and signatures                     |
48  * | bearssl_ec.h    | Elliptic curves support (including ECDSA)         |
49  * | bearssl_ssl.h   | SSL/TLS engine interface                          |
50  * | bearssl_x509.h  | X.509 certificate decoding and validation         |
51  * | bearssl_pem.h   | Base64/PEM decoding support functions             |
52  *
53  * Applications using BearSSL are supposed to simply include `bearssl.h`
54  * as follows:
55  *
56  *     #include <bearssl.h>
57  *
58  * The `bearssl.h` file itself includes all the other header files. It is
59  * possible to include specific header files, but it has no practical
60  * advantage for the application. The API is separated into separate
61  * header files only for documentation convenience.
62  *
63  *
64  * # Conventions
65  *
66  * ## MUST and SHALL
67  *
68  * In all descriptions, the usual "MUST", "SHALL", "MAY",... terminology
69  * is used. Failure to meet requirements expressed with a "MUST" or
70  * "SHALL" implies undefined behaviour, which means that segmentation
71  * faults, buffer overflows, and other similar adverse events, may occur.
72  *
73  * In general, BearSSL is not very forgiving of programming errors, and
74  * does not include much failsafes or error reporting when the problem
75  * does not arise from external transient conditions, and can be fixed
76  * only in the application code. This is done so in order to make the
77  * total code footprint lighter.
78  *
79  *
80  * ## `NULL` values
81  *
82  * Function parameters with a pointer type shall not be `NULL` unless
83  * explicitly authorised by the documentation. As an exception, when
84  * the pointer aims at a sequence of bytes and is accompanied with
85  * a length parameter, and the length is zero (meaning that there is
86  * no byte at all to retrieve), then the pointer may be `NULL` even if
87  * not explicitly allowed.
88  *
89  *
90  * ## Memory Allocation
91  *
92  * BearSSL does not perform dynamic memory allocation. This implies that
93  * for any functionality that requires a non-transient state, the caller
94  * is responsible for allocating the relevant context structure. Such
95  * allocation can be done in any appropriate area, including static data
96  * segments, the heap, and the stack, provided that proper alignment is
97  * respected. The header files define these context structures
98  * (including size and contents), so the C compiler should handle
99  * alignment automatically.
100  *
101  * Since there is no dynamic resource allocation, there is also nothing to
102  * release. When the calling code is done with a BearSSL feature, it
103  * may simple release the context structures it allocated itself, with
104  * no "close function" to call. If the context structures were allocated
105  * on the stack (as local variables), then even that release operation is
106  * implicit.
107  *
108  *
109  * ## Structure Contents
110  *
111  * Except when explicitly indicated, structure contents are opaque: they
112  * are included in the header files so that calling code may know the
113  * structure sizes and alignment requirements, but callers SHALL NOT
114  * access individual fields directly. For fields that are supposed to
115  * be read from or written to, the API defines accessor functions (the
116  * simplest of these accessor functions are defined as `static inline`
117  * functions, and the C compiler will optimise them away).
118  *
119  *
120  * # API Usage
121  *
122  * BearSSL usage for running a SSL/TLS client or server is described
123  * on the [BearSSL Web site](https://www.bearssl.org/api1.html). The
124  * BearSSL source archive also comes with sample code.

142  * A "configuration option" is a value that is selected when the BearSSL
143  * library itself is compiled. Most options are boolean; their value is
144  * then either 1 (option is enabled) or 0 (option is disabled). Some
145  * values have other integer values. Option names correspond to macro
146  * names. Some of the options can be explicitly set in the internal
147  * `"config.h"` file.
