26=head1 DESCRIPTION
27
28The functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private() and
29EVP_PKEY_print_params() print out the public, private or parameter components
30of key I<pkey> respectively. The key is sent to B<BIO> I<out> in human readable
31form. The parameter I<indent> indicates how far the printout should be indented.
32
33The I<pctx> parameter allows the print output to be finely tuned by using
34ASN1 printing options. If I<pctx> is set to NULL then default values will
35be used.
36
37The functions EVP_PKEY_print_public_fp(), EVP_PKEY_print_private_fp() and
38EVP_PKEY_print_params_fp() do the same as the B<BIO> based functions
39but use B<FILE> I<fp> instead.
40
41=head1 NOTES
42
43Currently no public key algorithms include any options in the I<pctx> parameter.
44
45If the key does not include all the components indicated by the function then
46only those contained in the key will be printed. For example passing a public
47key to EVP_PKEY_print_private() will only print the public components.
48
49=head1 RETURN VALUES
50
51These functions all return 1 for success and 0 or a negative value for failure.
52In particular a return value of -2 indicates the operation is not supported by
53the public key algorithm.
