40=head1 NOTES
41
42Developers should be aware of the negative performance implications of
43calling these functions multiple times and should consider using
44L<EVP_CIPHER_fetch(3)> instead.
45See L<crypto(7)/Performance> for further information.
46
47=head1 RETURN VALUES
48
49These functions return an B<EVP_CIPHER> structure that contains the
50implementation of the symmetric cipher. See L<EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3)> for
51details of the B<EVP_CIPHER> structure.
