113=head1 DESCRIPTION
114
115B<OSSL_STORE_LOADER> is a method for OSSL_STORE loaders, which implement
116OSSL_STORE_open(), OSSL_STORE_open_ex(), OSSL_STORE_load(),
117OSSL_STORE_eof(), OSSL_STORE_error() and OSSL_STORE_close() for specific
118storage schemes.
119
120OSSL_STORE_LOADER_fetch() looks for an implementation for a storage
121I<scheme> within the providers that has been loaded into the B<OSSL_LIB_CTX>
122given by I<libctx>, and with the properties given by I<properties>.
123
124OSSL_STORE_LOADER_up_ref() increments the reference count for the given
125I<loader>.
126
127OSSL_STORE_LOADER_free() decrements the reference count for the given
128I<loader>, and when the count reaches zero, frees it.
129
130OSSL_STORE_LOADER_get0_provider() returns the provider of the given
131I<loader>.
132
133OSSL_STORE_LOADER_get0_properties() returns the property definition associated
134with the given I<loader>.
135
136OSSL_STORE_LOADER_is_a() checks if I<loader> is an implementation
137of an algorithm that's identifiable with I<scheme>.
138
139OSSL_STORE_LOADER_get0_description() returns a description of the I<loader>, meant
140for display and human consumption.  The description is at the discretion of the
141I<loader> implementation.
142
143OSSL_STORE_LOADER_do_all_provided() traverses all store implementations
144by all activated providers in the library context I<libctx>, and for each
145of the implementations, calls I<user_fn> with the implementation method and
146I<user_arg> as arguments.
147
148OSSL_STORE_LOADER_names_do_all() traverses all names for the given
149I<loader>, and calls I<fn> with each name and I<data>.
150
151=head2 Legacy Types and Functions (deprecated)
152
153These functions help applications and engines to create loaders for
154schemes they support.  These are all deprecated and discouraged in favour of
155provider implementations, see L<provider-storemgmt(7)>.
156
157B<OSSL_STORE_LOADER_CTX> is a type template, to be defined by each loader
158using C<struct ossl_store_loader_ctx_st { ... }>.
159
160B<OSSL_STORE_open_fn>, B<OSSL_STORE_open_ex_fn>,
161B<OSSL_STORE_ctrl_fn>, B<OSSL_STORE_expect_fn>, B<OSSL_STORE_find_fn>,
162B<OSSL_STORE_load_fn>, B<OSSL_STORE_eof_fn>, and B<OSSL_STORE_close_fn>
163are the function pointer types used within a STORE loader.
164The functions pointed at define the functionality of the given loader.
165
166=over 4
167
168=item B<OSSL_STORE_open_fn> and B<OSSL_STORE_open_ex_fn>
169
170B<OSSL_STORE_open_ex_fn> takes a URI and is expected to
171interpret it in the best manner possible according to the scheme the
172loader implements.  It also takes a B<UI_METHOD> and associated data,
173to be used any time something needs to be prompted for, as well as a
174library context I<libctx> with an associated property query I<propq>,
175to be used when fetching necessary algorithms to perform the loads.
176Furthermore, this function is expected to initialize what needs to be
177initialized, to create a private data store (B<OSSL_STORE_LOADER_CTX>,
178see above), and to return it.
179If something goes wrong, this function is expected to return NULL.
180
181B<OSSL_STORE_open_fn> does the same thing as
182B<OSSL_STORE_open_ex_fn> but uses NULL for the library
183context I<libctx> and property query I<propq>.
184
185=item B<OSSL_STORE_attach_fn>
186
187This function takes a B<BIO>, otherwise works like
188B<OSSL_STORE_open_ex_fn>.
189
190=item B<OSSL_STORE_ctrl_fn>
191
192This function takes a B<OSSL_STORE_LOADER_CTX> pointer, a command number
193I<cmd> and a B<va_list> I<args> and is used to manipulate loader
194specific parameters.
195
196=begin comment
197
198Globally known command numbers are documented in L<OSSL_STORE_ctrl(3)>,
199along with what I<args> are expected with each of them.
200
201=end comment
202
203Loader specific command numbers must begin at B<OSSL_STORE_C_CUSTOM_START>.
204Any number below that is reserved for future globally known command
205numbers.
206
207This function is expected to return 1 on success, 0 on error.
208
209=item B<OSSL_STORE_expect_fn>
210
211This function takes a B<OSSL_STORE_LOADER_CTX> pointer and a B<OSSL_STORE_INFO>
212identity I<expected>, and is used to tell the loader what object type is
213expected.
214I<expected> may be zero to signify that no specific object type is expected.
215
216This function is expected to return 1 on success, 0 on error.
217
218=item B<OSSL_STORE_find_fn>
219
220This function takes a B<OSSL_STORE_LOADER_CTX> pointer and a
221B<OSSL_STORE_SEARCH> search criterion, and is used to tell the loader what
222to search for.
223
224When called with the loader context being NULL, this function is expected
225to return 1 if the loader supports the criterion, otherwise 0.
226
227When called with the loader context being something other than NULL, this
228function is expected to return 1 on success, 0 on error.
229
230=item B<OSSL_STORE_load_fn>
231
232This function takes a B<OSSL_STORE_LOADER_CTX> pointer and a B<UI_METHOD>
233with associated data.
234It's expected to load the next available data, mold it into a data
235structure that can be wrapped in a B<OSSL_STORE_INFO> using one of the
236L<OSSL_STORE_INFO(3)> functions.
237If no more data is available or an error occurs, this function is
238expected to return NULL.
239The B<OSSL_STORE_eof_fn> and B<OSSL_STORE_error_fn> functions must indicate if
240it was in fact the end of data or if an error occurred.
241
242Note that this function retrieves I<one> data item only.
243
244=item B<OSSL_STORE_eof_fn>
245
246This function takes a B<OSSL_STORE_LOADER_CTX> pointer and is expected to
247return 1 to indicate that the end of available data has been reached.
248It is otherwise expected to return 0.
249
250=item B<OSSL_STORE_error_fn>
251
252This function takes a B<OSSL_STORE_LOADER_CTX> pointer and is expected to
253return 1 to indicate that an error occurred in a previous call to the
254B<OSSL_STORE_load_fn> function.
255It is otherwise expected to return 0.
256
257=item B<OSSL_STORE_close_fn>
258
259This function takes a B<OSSL_STORE_LOADER_CTX> pointer and is expected to
260close or shut down what needs to be closed, and finally free the
261contents of the B<OSSL_STORE_LOADER_CTX> pointer.
262It returns 1 on success and 0 on error.
263
264=back
265
266OSSL_STORE_LOADER_new() creates a new B<OSSL_STORE_LOADER>.
267It takes an B<ENGINE> I<e> and a string I<scheme>.
268I<scheme> must I<always> be set.
269Both I<e> and I<scheme> are used as is and must therefore be alive as
270long as the created loader is.
271
272OSSL_STORE_LOADER_get0_engine() returns the engine of the I<store_loader>.
273OSSL_STORE_LOADER_get0_scheme() returns the scheme of the I<store_loader>.
274
275OSSL_STORE_LOADER_set_open() sets the opener function for the
276I<store_loader>.
277
278OSSL_STORE_LOADER_set_open_ex() sets the opener with library context
279function for the I<store_loader>.
280
281OSSL_STORE_LOADER_set_attach() sets the attacher function for the
282I<store_loader>.
283
284OSSL_STORE_LOADER_set_ctrl() sets the control function for the
285I<store_loader>.
286
287OSSL_STORE_LOADER_set_expect() sets the expect function for the
288I<store_loader>.
289
290OSSL_STORE_LOADER_set_load() sets the loader function for the
291I<store_loader>.
292
293OSSL_STORE_LOADER_set_eof() sets the end of file checker function for the
294I<store_loader>.
295
296OSSL_STORE_LOADER_set_close() sets the closing function for the
297I<store_loader>.
298
299OSSL_STORE_LOADER_free() frees the given I<store_loader>.
300
301OSSL_STORE_register_loader() register the given I<store_loader> and
302thereby makes it available for use with OSSL_STORE_open(),
303OSSL_STORE_open_ex(), OSSL_STORE_load(), OSSL_STORE_eof()
304and OSSL_STORE_close().
305
306OSSL_STORE_unregister_loader() unregister the store loader for the given
307I<scheme>.
308
