give an unbreakable dash, \*(PI will give pi, \*(L" will give a left
double quote, and \*(R" will give a right double quote. \*(C+ will
give a nicer C++. Capital omega is used to do unbreakable dashes and
therefore won't be available. \*(C` and \*(C' expand to `' in nroff,
nothing in troff, for use with C<>.

Escape single quotes in literal strings from groff's Unicode transform.

If the F register is >0, we'll generate index entries on stderr for
titles (.TH), headers (.SH), subsections (.SS), items (.Ip), and index
entries marked with X<> in POD. Of course, you'll have to process the
output yourself in some meaningful fashion.

Avoid warning from groff about undefined register 'F'.

"DESCRIPTION"
Header "DESCRIPTION" All of the functions described on this page are deprecated. Applications should instead use the provider APIs.

The \s-1DH_METHOD\s0 type is a structure used for the provision of custom \s-1DH\s0 implementations. It provides a set of functions used by OpenSSL for the implementation of the various \s-1DH\s0 capabilities.

\fBDH_meth_new() creates a new \s-1DH_METHOD\s0 structure. It should be given a unique name and a set of flags. The name should be a \s-1NULL\s0 terminated string, which will be duplicated and stored in the \s-1DH_METHOD\s0 object. It is the callers responsibility to free the original string. The flags will be used during the construction of a new \s-1DH\s0 object based on this \s-1DH_METHOD\s0. Any new \s-1DH\s0 object will have those flags set by default.

\fBDH_meth_dup() creates a duplicate copy of the \s-1DH_METHOD\s0 object passed as a parameter. This might be useful for creating a new \s-1DH_METHOD\s0 based on an existing one, but with some differences.

\fBDH_meth_free() destroys a \s-1DH_METHOD\s0 structure and frees up any memory associated with it.

\fBDH_meth_get0_name() will return a pointer to the name of this \s-1DH_METHOD.\s0 This is a pointer to the internal name string and so should not be freed by the caller. DH_meth_set1_name() sets the name of the \s-1DH_METHOD\s0 to name. The string is duplicated and the copy is stored in the \s-1DH_METHOD\s0 structure, so the caller remains responsible for freeing the memory associated with the name.

\fBDH_meth_get_flags() returns the current value of the flags associated with this \s-1DH_METHOD.\s0 DH_meth_set_flags() provides the ability to set these flags.

The functions DH_meth_get0_app_data() and DH_meth_set0_app_data() provide the ability to associate implementation specific data with the \s-1DH_METHOD.\s0 It is the application's responsibility to free this data before the \s-1DH_METHOD\s0 is freed via a call to DH_meth_free().

\fBDH_meth_get_generate_key() and DH_meth_set_generate_key() get and set the function used for generating a new \s-1DH\s0 key pair respectively. This function will be called in response to the application calling DH_generate_key(). The parameter for the function has the same meaning as for DH_generate_key().

\fBDH_meth_get_compute_key() and DH_meth_set_compute_key() get and set the function used for computing a new \s-1DH\s0 shared secret respectively. This function will be called in response to the application calling DH_compute_key(). The parameters for the function have the same meaning as for DH_compute_key().

\fBDH_meth_get_bn_mod_exp() and DH_meth_set_bn_mod_exp() get and set the function used for computing the following value:

.Vb 1 r = a ^ p mod m .Ve

This function will be called by the default OpenSSL function for \fBDH_generate_key(). The result is stored in the r parameter. This function may be \s-1NULL\s0 unless using the default generate key function, in which case it must be present.

\fBDH_meth_get_init() and DH_meth_set_init() get and set the function used for creating a new \s-1DH\s0 instance respectively. This function will be called in response to the application calling DH_new() (if the current default \s-1DH_METHOD\s0 is this one) or DH_new_method(). The DH_new() and DH_new_method() functions will allocate the memory for the new \s-1DH\s0 object, and a pointer to this newly allocated structure will be passed as a parameter to the function. This function may be \s-1NULL.\s0

\fBDH_meth_get_finish() and DH_meth_set_finish() get and set the function used for destroying an instance of a \s-1DH\s0 object respectively. This function will be called in response to the application calling DH_free(). A pointer to the \s-1DH\s0 to be destroyed is passed as a parameter. The destroy function should be used for \s-1DH\s0 implementation specific clean up. The memory for the \s-1DH\s0 itself should not be freed by this function. This function may be \s-1NULL.\s0

\fBDH_meth_get_generate_params() and DH_meth_set_generate_params() get and set the function used for generating \s-1DH\s0 parameters respectively. This function will be called in response to the application calling DH_generate_parameters_ex() (or \fBDH_generate_parameters()). The parameters for the function have the same meaning as for DH_generate_parameters_ex(). This function may be \s-1NULL.\s0

"RETURN VALUES"
Header "RETURN VALUES" \fBDH_meth_new() and DH_meth_dup() return the newly allocated \s-1DH_METHOD\s0 object or \s-1NULL\s0 on failure.

\fBDH_meth_get0_name() and DH_meth_get_flags() return the name and flags associated with the \s-1DH_METHOD\s0 respectively.

All other DH_meth_get_*() functions return the appropriate function pointer that has been set in the \s-1DH_METHOD,\s0 or \s-1NULL\s0 if no such pointer has yet been set.

\fBDH_meth_set1_name() and all DH_meth_set_*() functions return 1 on success or 0 on failure.
