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'.

Title "EVP_PKEY_FROMDATA 3" For nroff, turn off justification. Always turn off hyphenation; it makes
way too many mistakes in technical documents.
EVP_PKEY_fromdata_init, EVP_PKEY_fromdata, EVP_PKEY_fromdata_settable \- functions to create keys and key parameters from user data Header "SYNOPSIS" .Vb 1 #include <openssl/evp.h> \& int EVP_PKEY_fromdata_init(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx); int EVP_PKEY_fromdata(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx, EVP_PKEY **ppkey, int selection, OSSL_PARAM params[]); const OSSL_PARAM *EVP_PKEY_fromdata_settable(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx, int selection); .Ve Header "DESCRIPTION" The functions described here are used to create new keys from user provided key data, such as n, e and d for a minimal \s-1RSA\s0 keypair.

These functions use an \s-1EVP_PKEY_CTX\s0 context, which should primarily be created with EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_from_name\|(3) or \fBEVP_PKEY_CTX_new_id\|(3).

The exact key data that the user can pass depends on the key type. These are passed as an \s-1OSSL_PARAM\s0\|(3) array.

\fBEVP_PKEY_fromdata_init() initializes a public key algorithm context for creating a key or key parameters from user data.

\fBEVP_PKEY_fromdata() creates the structure to store a key or key parameters, given data from params, selection and a context that's been initialized with EVP_PKEY_fromdata_init(). The result is written to *ppkey. \fIselection is described in \*(L"Selections\*(R". The parameters that can be used for various types of key are as described by the diverse \*(L"Common parameters\*(R" sections of the \fB\s-1EVP_PKEY-RSA\s0(7), \fB\s-1EVP_PKEY-DSA\s0(7), \fB\s-1EVP_PKEY-DH\s0(7), \fB\s-1EVP_PKEY-EC\s0(7), \fB\s-1EVP_PKEY-ED448\s0(7), \fB\s-1EVP_PKEY-X25519\s0(7), \fB\s-1EVP_PKEY-X448\s0(7), and \s-1EVP_PKEY-ED25519\s0(7) pages.

\fBEVP_PKEY_fromdata_settable() gets a constant \s-1OSSL_PARAM\s0\|(3) array that describes the settable parameters that can be used with EVP_PKEY_fromdata(). \fIselection is described in \*(L"Selections\*(R".

Parameters in the params array that are not among the settable parameters for the given selection are ignored.

Subsection "Selections" The following constants can be used for selection: Item "EVP_PKEY_KEY_PARAMETERS" Only key parameters will be selected. Item "EVP_PKEY_PUBLIC_KEY" Only public key components will be selected. This includes optional key parameters. Item "EVP_PKEY_KEYPAIR" Any keypair components will be selected. This includes the private key, public key and key parameters. Header "NOTES" These functions only work with key management methods coming from a provider. This is the mirror function to EVP_PKEY_todata\|(3). Header "RETURN VALUES" \fBEVP_PKEY_fromdata_init() and EVP_PKEY_fromdata() return 1 for success and 0 or a negative value for failure. In particular a return value of -2 indicates the operation is not supported by the public key algorithm. Header "EXAMPLES" These examples are very terse for the sake of staying on topic, which is the EVP_PKEY_fromdata() set of functions. In real applications, BIGNUMs would be handled and converted to byte arrays with \fBBN_bn2nativepad(), but that's off topic here.

The descriptor \s-1OSSL_PARAM\s0\|(3) returned by \fBEVP_PKEY_fromdata_settable() may also be used programmatically, for example with OSSL_PARAM_allocate_from_text\|(3).
