21=head1 DESCRIPTION
22
23b2i_PVK_bio_ex() decodes a private key of MSBLOB format read from a B<BIO>. It
24attempts to automatically determine the key type. If the key is encrypted then
25I<cb> is called with the user data I<u> in order to obtain a password to decrypt
26the key. The supplied library context I<libctx> and property query
27string I<propq> are used in any decrypt operation.
28
29b2i_PVK_bio() does the same as b2i_PVK_bio_ex() except that the default
30library context and property query string are used.
31
32i2b_PVK_bio_ex() encodes I<pk> using MSBLOB format. If I<enclevel> is 1 then
33a password obtained via I<pem_password_cb> is used to encrypt the private key.
34If I<enclevel> is 0 then no encryption is applied. The user data in I<u> is
35passed to the password callback. The supplied library context I<libctx> and
36property query string I<propq> are used in any decrypt operation.
37
38i2b_PVK_bio() does the same as i2b_PVK_bio_ex() except that the default
39library context and property query string are used.

41=head1 RETURN VALUES
42
43The b2i_PVK_bio() and b2i_PVK_bio_ex() functions return a valid B<EVP_KEY>
44structure or B<NULL> if an error occurs. The error code can be obtained by calling
45L<ERR_get_error(3)>.
46
47i2b_PVK_bio() and i2b_PVK_bio_ex() return the number of bytes successfully
48encoded or a negative value if an error occurs. The error code can be obtained
49by calling L<ERR_get_error(3)>.
