=head1 NAME

EVP_bf_cbc,
EVP_bf_cfb,
EVP_bf_cfb64,
EVP_bf_ecb,
EVP_bf_ofb
- EVP Blowfish cipher

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 #include <openssl/evp.h>

 const EVP_CIPHER *EVP_bf_cbc(void);
 const EVP_CIPHER *EVP_bf_cfb(void);
 const EVP_CIPHER *EVP_bf_cfb64(void);
 const EVP_CIPHER *EVP_bf_ecb(void);
 const EVP_CIPHER *EVP_bf_ofb(void);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The Blowfish encryption algorithm for EVP.

This is a variable key length cipher.

=over 4

=item EVP_bf_cbc(),
EVP_bf_cfb(),
EVP_bf_cfb64(),
EVP_bf_ecb(),
EVP_bf_ofb()

Blowfish encryption algorithm in CBC, CFB, ECB and OFB modes respectively.

=head1 NOTES

Developers should be aware of the negative performance implications of
calling these functions multiple times and should consider using
L<EVP_CIPHER_fetch(3)> with L<EVP_CIPHER-BLOWFISH(7)> instead.
See L<crypto(7)/Performance> for further information.

=head1 RETURN VALUES

These functions return an B<EVP_CIPHER> structure that contains the
implementation of the symmetric cipher. See L<EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3)> for
details of the B<EVP_CIPHER> structure.
