42=head1 DESCRIPTION
43
44evp_generic_fetch() calls ossl_method_construct() with the given
45I<libctx>, I<operation_id>, I<name>, and I<properties> and uses
46it to create an EVP method with the help of the functions
47I<new_method>, I<up_ref_method>, and I<free_method>.
48
49evp_generic_fetch_by_number() does the same thing as evp_generic_fetch(),
50but takes a numeric I<name_id> instead of a name.
51I<name_id> must always be nonzero; as a matter of fact, it being zero
52is considered a programming error.
53This is meant to be used when one method needs to fetch an associated
54method, and is typically called from inside the given function
55I<new_method>.
56
57evp_generic_fetch_from_prov() does the same thing as evp_generic_fetch(),
58but limits the search of methods to the provider given with I<prov>.
59This is meant to be used when one method needs to fetch an associated
60method in the same provider.
61
62The three functions I<new_method>, I<up_ref_method>, and
63I<free_method> are supposed to:
64
65=over 4
66
67=item new_method()
68
69creates an internal method from function pointers found in the
70dispatch table I<fns>, with name identity I<name_id>.
71The provider I<prov> and I<method_data> are also passed to be used as
72new_method() sees fit.
73
74=item up_ref_method()
75
76increments the reference counter for the given method, if there is
77one.
78
79=item free_method()
80
81frees the given method.
82
83=back
84
85=head1 RETURN VALUES
86
87evp_generic_fetch() returns a method on success, or NULL on error.
88
89=head1 EXAMPLES
90
91This is a short example of the fictitious EVP API and operation called
92B<EVP_FOO>.
93
94To begin with, let's assume something like this in
95F<include/openssl/core_dispatch.h>:
96
97    #define OSSL_OP_FOO                           100
98
99    #define OSSL_FUNC_FOO_NEWCTX_FUNC            2001
100    #define OSSL_FUNC_FOO_INIT                   2002
101    #define OSSL_FUNC_FOO_OPERATE                2003
102    #define OSSL_FUNC_FOO_CLEANCTX_FUNC          2004
103    #define OSSL_FUNC_FOO_FREECTX_FUNC           2005
104
105    OSSL_CORE_MAKE_FUNC(void *, foo_newctx, (void))
106    OSSL_CORE_MAKE_FUNC(int, foo_init, (void *vctx))
107    OSSL_CORE_MAKE_FUNC(int, foo_operate, (void *vctx,
108                                           unsigned char *out, size_t *out_l,
109                                           unsigned char *in, size_t in_l))
110    OSSL_CORE_MAKE_FUNC(void, foo_cleanctx, (void *vctx))
111    OSSL_CORE_MAKE_FUNC(void, foo_freectx, (void *vctx))
112
113And here's the implementation of the FOO method fetcher:
114
115    /* typedef struct evp_foo_st EVP_FOO */
116    struct evp_foo_st {
117        OSSL_PROVIDER *prov;
118        int name_id;
119	CRYPTO_REF_COUNT refcnt;
120        OSSL_FUNC_foo_newctx_fn *newctx;
121        OSSL_FUNC_foo_init_fn *init;
122        OSSL_FUNC_foo_operate_fn *operate;
123        OSSL_FUNC_foo_cleanctx_fn *cleanctx;
124        OSSL_FUNC_foo_freectx_fn *freectx;
125    };
126
127    /*
128     * In this example, we have a public method creator and destructor.
129     * It's not absolutely necessary, but is in the spirit of OpenSSL.
130     */
