                             int *ppkey_flags, const char **pinfo,
                             const char **ppem_str,

=head1 DESCRIPTION

EVP_PKEY_asn1_count() returns a count of the number of public key
ASN.1 methods available: it includes standard methods and any methods
added by the application.

EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0() returns the public key ASN.1 method B<idx>.
The value of B<idx> must be between zero and EVP_PKEY_asn1_get_count()
- 1.

EVP_PKEY_asn1_find() looks up the B<EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD> with NID
B<type>.
If B<pe> isn't B<NULL>, then it will look up an engine implementing a
B<EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD> for the NID B<type> and return that instead,
and also set B<*pe> to point at the engine that implements it.

EVP_PKEY_asn1_find_str() looks up the B<EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD> with PEM
type string B<str>.
Just like EVP_PKEY_asn1_find(), if B<pe> isn't B<NULL>, then it will
look up an engine implementing a B<EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD> for the NID
B<type> and return that instead, and also set B<*pe> to point at the
engine that implements it.

EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() returns the public key ID, base public key
ID (both NIDs), any flags, the method description and PEM type string
associated with the public key ASN.1 method B<*ameth>.

EVP_PKEY_asn1_count(), EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0(), EVP_PKEY_asn1_find() and
EVP_PKEY_asn1_find_str() are not thread safe, but as long as all
B<EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD> objects are added before the application gets
threaded, using them is safe.  See L<EVP_PKEY_asn1_add0(3)>.

=head1 RETURN VALUES

EVP_PKEY_asn1_count() returns the number of available public key methods.

EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0() return a public key method or B<NULL> if B<idx> is
out of range.

EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() returns 0 on failure, 1 on success.
