59=head1 DESCRIPTION
60
61The B<DH_METHOD> type is a structure used for the provision of custom DH
62implementations. It provides a set of functions used by OpenSSL for the
63implementation of the various DH capabilities.
64
65DH_meth_new() creates a new B<DH_METHOD> structure. It should be given a
66unique B<name> and a set of B<flags>. The B<name> should be a NULL terminated
67string, which will be duplicated and stored in the B<DH_METHOD> object. It is
68the callers responsibility to free the original string. The flags will be used
69during the construction of a new B<DH> object based on this B<DH_METHOD>. Any
70new B<DH> object will have those flags set by default.
71
72DH_meth_dup() creates a duplicate copy of the B<DH_METHOD> object passed as a
73parameter. This might be useful for creating a new B<DH_METHOD> based on an
74existing one, but with some differences.
75
76DH_meth_free() destroys a B<DH_METHOD> structure and frees up any memory
77associated with it.
78
79DH_meth_get0_name() will return a pointer to the name of this DH_METHOD. This
80is a pointer to the internal name string and so should not be freed by the
81caller. DH_meth_set1_name() sets the name of the DH_METHOD to B<name>. The
82string is duplicated and the copy is stored in the DH_METHOD structure, so the
83caller remains responsible for freeing the memory associated with the name.
84
85DH_meth_get_flags() returns the current value of the flags associated with this
86DH_METHOD. DH_meth_set_flags() provides the ability to set these flags.
87
88The functions DH_meth_get0_app_data() and DH_meth_set0_app_data() provide the
89ability to associate implementation specific data with the DH_METHOD. It is
90the application's responsibility to free this data before the DH_METHOD is
91freed via a call to DH_meth_free().
92
93DH_meth_get_generate_key() and DH_meth_set_generate_key() get and set the
94function used for generating a new DH key pair respectively. This function will
95be called in response to the application calling DH_generate_key(). The
96parameter for the function has the same meaning as for DH_generate_key().
97
98DH_meth_get_compute_key() and DH_meth_set_compute_key() get and set the
99function used for computing a new DH shared secret respectively. This function
100will be called in response to the application calling DH_compute_key(). The
101parameters for the function have the same meaning as for DH_compute_key().
102
103DH_meth_get_bn_mod_exp() and DH_meth_set_bn_mod_exp() get and set the function
104used for computing the following value:
105
106 r = a ^ p mod m
107
108This function will be called by the default OpenSSL function for
109DH_generate_key(). The result is stored in the B<r> parameter. This function
110may be NULL unless using the default generate key function, in which case it
111must be present.
112
113DH_meth_get_init() and DH_meth_set_init() get and set the function used
114for creating a new DH instance respectively. This function will be
115called in response to the application calling DH_new() (if the current default
116DH_METHOD is this one) or DH_new_method(). The DH_new() and DH_new_method()
117functions will allocate the memory for the new DH object, and a pointer to this
118newly allocated structure will be passed as a parameter to the function. This
119function may be NULL.
120
121DH_meth_get_finish() and DH_meth_set_finish() get and set the function used
122for destroying an instance of a DH object respectively. This function will be
123called in response to the application calling DH_free(). A pointer to the DH
124to be destroyed is passed as a parameter. The destroy function should be used
125for DH implementation specific clean up. The memory for the DH itself should
126not be freed by this function. This function may be NULL.
127
128DH_meth_get_generate_params() and DH_meth_set_generate_params() get and set the
129function used for generating DH parameters respectively. This function will be
130called in response to the application calling DH_generate_parameters_ex() (or
131DH_generate_parameters()). The parameters for the function have the same
132meaning as for DH_generate_parameters_ex(). This function may be NULL.
133
134=head1 RETURN VALUES
135
136DH_meth_new() and DH_meth_dup() return the newly allocated DH_METHOD object
137or NULL on failure.
138
139DH_meth_get0_name() and DH_meth_get_flags() return the name and flags
140associated with the DH_METHOD respectively.
141
142All other DH_meth_get_*() functions return the appropriate function pointer
143that has been set in the DH_METHOD, or NULL if no such pointer has yet been
144set.
145
146DH_meth_set1_name() and all DH_meth_set_*() functions return 1 on success or
1470 on failure.
