32*b077aed3SPierre Pronchery=head1 DESCRIPTION
33*b077aed3SPierre Pronchery
34*b077aed3SPierre ProncheryEVP_KEYEXCH_fetch() fetches the key exchange implementation for the given
35*b077aed3SPierre ProncheryI<algorithm> from any provider offering it, within the criteria given
36*b077aed3SPierre Proncheryby the I<properties>.
37*b077aed3SPierre ProncherySee L<crypto(7)/ALGORITHM FETCHING> for further information.
38*b077aed3SPierre Pronchery
39*b077aed3SPierre ProncheryThe returned value must eventually be freed with EVP_KEYEXCH_free().
40*b077aed3SPierre Pronchery
41*b077aed3SPierre ProncheryEVP_KEYEXCH_free() decrements the reference count for the B<EVP_KEYEXCH>
42*b077aed3SPierre Proncherystructure. Typically this structure will have been obtained from an earlier call
43*b077aed3SPierre Proncheryto EVP_KEYEXCH_fetch(). If the reference count drops to 0 then the
44*b077aed3SPierre Proncherystructure is freed.
45*b077aed3SPierre Pronchery
46*b077aed3SPierre ProncheryEVP_KEYEXCH_up_ref() increments the reference count for an B<EVP_KEYEXCH>
47*b077aed3SPierre Proncherystructure.
48*b077aed3SPierre Pronchery
49*b077aed3SPierre ProncheryEVP_KEYEXCH_get0_provider() returns the provider that I<exchange> was
50*b077aed3SPierre Proncheryfetched from.
51*b077aed3SPierre Pronchery
52*b077aed3SPierre ProncheryEVP_KEYEXCH_is_a() checks if I<exchange> is an implementation of an
53*b077aed3SPierre Proncheryalgorithm that's identifiable with I<name>.
54*b077aed3SPierre Pronchery
55*b077aed3SPierre ProncheryEVP_KEYEXCH_get0_name() returns the algorithm name from the provided
56*b077aed3SPierre Proncheryimplementation for the given I<exchange>. Note that the I<exchange> may have
57*b077aed3SPierre Proncherymultiple synonyms associated with it. In this case the first name from the
58*b077aed3SPierre Proncheryalgorithm definition is returned. Ownership of the returned string is retained
59*b077aed3SPierre Proncheryby the I<exchange> object and should not be freed by the caller.
60*b077aed3SPierre Pronchery
61*b077aed3SPierre ProncheryEVP_KEYEXCH_names_do_all() traverses all names for the I<exchange>, and
62*b077aed3SPierre Proncherycalls I<fn> with each name and I<data>.
63*b077aed3SPierre Pronchery
64*b077aed3SPierre ProncheryEVP_KEYEXCH_get0_description() returns a description of the I<keyexch>, meant
65*b077aed3SPierre Proncheryfor display and human consumption.  The description is at the discretion of
66*b077aed3SPierre Proncherythe I<keyexch> implementation.
67*b077aed3SPierre Pronchery
68*b077aed3SPierre ProncheryEVP_KEYEXCH_do_all_provided() traverses all key exchange implementations by
69*b077aed3SPierre Proncheryall activated providers in the library context I<libctx>, and for each
70*b077aed3SPierre Proncheryof the implementations, calls I<fn> with the implementation method and
71*b077aed3SPierre ProncheryI<data> as arguments.
72*b077aed3SPierre Pronchery
73*b077aed3SPierre ProncheryEVP_KEYEXCH_gettable_ctx_params() and EVP_KEYEXCH_settable_ctx_params() return
74*b077aed3SPierre Proncherya constant L<OSSL_PARAM(3)> array that describes the names and types of key
75*b077aed3SPierre Proncheryparameters that can be retrieved or set by a key exchange algorithm using
76*b077aed3SPierre ProncheryL<EVP_PKEY_CTX_get_params(3)> and L<EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_params(3)>.
77*b077aed3SPierre Pronchery
78*b077aed3SPierre Pronchery=head1 RETURN VALUES
79*b077aed3SPierre Pronchery
80*b077aed3SPierre ProncheryEVP_KEYEXCH_fetch() returns a pointer to a B<EVP_KEYEXCH> for success
81*b077aed3SPierre Proncheryor NULL for failure.
82*b077aed3SPierre Pronchery
83*b077aed3SPierre ProncheryEVP_KEYEXCH_up_ref() returns 1 for success or 0 otherwise.
84*b077aed3SPierre Pronchery
85*b077aed3SPierre ProncheryEVP_KEYEXCH_names_do_all() returns 1 if the callback was called for all
86*b077aed3SPierre Proncherynames. A return value of 0 means that the callback was not called for any names.
87*b077aed3SPierre Pronchery
88*b077aed3SPierre ProncheryEVP_KEYEXCH_is_a() returns 1 of I<exchange> was identifiable,
89*b077aed3SPierre Proncheryotherwise 0.
90*b077aed3SPierre Pronchery
91*b077aed3SPierre ProncheryEVP_KEYEXCH_gettable_ctx_params() and EVP_KEYEXCH_settable_ctx_params() return
92*b077aed3SPierre Proncherya constant L<OSSL_PARAM(3)> array or NULL on error.
