6EVP_PKEY_CTX_get0_peerkey
7- functions for accessing the EVP_PKEY associated with an EVP_PKEY_CTX

10
11 #include <openssl/evp.h>
12
13 EVP_PKEY *EVP_PKEY_CTX_get0_pkey(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx);
14 EVP_PKEY *EVP_PKEY_CTX_get0_peerkey(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx);
15
16=head1 DESCRIPTION
17
18EVP_PKEY_CTX_get0_pkey() is used to access the B<EVP_PKEY>
19associated with the given B<EVP_PKEY_CTX> I<ctx>.
20The B<EVP_PKEY> obtained is the one used for creating the B<EVP_PKEY_CTX>
21using either L<EVP_PKEY_CTX_new(3)> or L<EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_from_pkey(3)>.
22
23EVP_PKEY_CTX_get0_peerkey() is used to access the peer B<EVP_PKEY>
24associated with the given B<EVP_PKEY_CTX> I<ctx>.
25The peer B<EVP_PKEY> obtained is the one set using
26either L<EVP_PKEY_derive_set_peer(3)> or L<EVP_PKEY_derive_set_peer_ex(3)>.
27
28=head1 RETURN VALUES
29
30EVP_PKEY_CTX_get0_pkey() returns the B<EVP_PKEY> associated with the
31EVP_PKEY_CTX or NULL if it is not set.
32
33EVP_PKEY_CTX_get0_peerkey() returns the peer B<EVP_PKEY> associated with the
34EVP_PKEY_CTX or NULL if it is not set.
35
36The returned EVP_PKEY objects are owned by the EVP_PKEY_CTX,
37and therefore should not explicitly be freed by the caller.
38
39These functions do not affect the EVP_PKEY reference count.
40They merely act as getter functions, and should be treated as such.
