26=head1 DESCRIPTION
27
28EVP_PKEY_asn1_count() returns a count of the number of public key
29ASN.1 methods available: it includes standard methods and any methods
30added by the application.
31
32EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0() returns the public key ASN.1 method B<idx>.
33The value of B<idx> must be between zero and EVP_PKEY_asn1_get_count()
34- 1.
35
36EVP_PKEY_asn1_find() looks up the B<EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD> with NID
37B<type>.
38If B<pe> isn't B<NULL>, then it will look up an engine implementing a
39B<EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD> for the NID B<type> and return that instead,
40and also set B<*pe> to point at the engine that implements it.
41
42EVP_PKEY_asn1_find_str() looks up the B<EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD> with PEM
43type string B<str>.
44Just like EVP_PKEY_asn1_find(), if B<pe> isn't B<NULL>, then it will
45look up an engine implementing a B<EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD> for the NID
46B<type> and return that instead, and also set B<*pe> to point at the
47engine that implements it.
48
49EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() returns the public key ID, base public key
50ID (both NIDs), any flags, the method description and PEM type string
51associated with the public key ASN.1 method B<*ameth>.
52
53EVP_PKEY_asn1_count(), EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0(), EVP_PKEY_asn1_find() and
54EVP_PKEY_asn1_find_str() are not thread safe, but as long as all
55B<EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD> objects are added before the application gets
56threaded, using them is safe.  See L<EVP_PKEY_asn1_add0(3)>.
57
58=head1 RETURN VALUES
59
60EVP_PKEY_asn1_count() returns the number of available public key methods.
61
62EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0() return a public key method or B<NULL> if B<idx> is
63out of range.
64
65EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() returns 0 on failure, 1 on success.
