.. Set up some character translations and predefined strings. \*(-- will
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'.

way too many mistakes in technical documents.

"SYNOPSIS"
Header "SYNOPSIS" .Vb 1 #include <openssl/evp.h> \& const OSSL_PARAM *EVP_PKEY_gettable_params(EVP_PKEY *pkey); int EVP_PKEY_get_params(const EVP_PKEY *pkey, OSSL_PARAM params[]); int EVP_PKEY_get_int_param(const EVP_PKEY *pkey, const char *key_name, int *out); int EVP_PKEY_get_size_t_param(const EVP_PKEY *pkey, const char *key_name, size_t *out); int EVP_PKEY_get_bn_param(const EVP_PKEY *pkey, const char *key_name, BIGNUM **bn); int EVP_PKEY_get_utf8_string_param(const EVP_PKEY *pkey, const char *key_name, char *str, size_t max_buf_sz, size_t *out_len); int EVP_PKEY_get_octet_string_param(const EVP_PKEY *pkey, const char *key_name, unsigned char *buf, size_t max_buf_sz, size_t *out_len); .Ve
"DESCRIPTION"
Header "DESCRIPTION" See \s-1OSSL_PARAM\s0\|(3) for information about parameters.

\fBEVP_PKEY_get_params() retrieves parameters from the key pkey, according to the contents of params.

\fBEVP_PKEY_gettable_params() returns a constant list of params indicating the names and types of key parameters that can be retrieved.

An \s-1OSSL_PARAM\s0\|(3) of type \s-1OSSL_PARAM_INTEGER\s0 or \fB\s-1OSSL_PARAM_UNSIGNED_INTEGER\s0 is of arbitrary length. Such a parameter can be obtained using any of the functions EVP_PKEY_get_int_param(), \fBEVP_PKEY_get_size_t_param() or EVP_PKEY_get_bn_param(). Attempting to obtain an integer value that does not fit into a native C int type will cause \fBEVP_PKEY_get_int_param() to fail. Similarly attempting to obtain an integer value that is negative or does not fit into a native C size_t type using \fBEVP_PKEY_get_size_t_param() will also fail.

\fBEVP_PKEY_get_int_param() retrieves a key pkey integer value *out associated with a name of key_name if it fits into \*(C`int\*(C' type. For parameters that do not fit into \*(C`int\*(C' use EVP_PKEY_get_bn_param().

\fBEVP_PKEY_get_size_t_param() retrieves a key pkey size_t value *out associated with a name of key_name if it fits into \*(C`size_t\*(C' type. For parameters that do not fit into \*(C`size_t\*(C' use EVP_PKEY_get_bn_param().

\fBEVP_PKEY_get_bn_param() retrieves a key pkey \s-1BIGNUM\s0 value **bn associated with a name of key_name. If *bn is \s-1NULL\s0 then the \s-1BIGNUM\s0 is allocated by the method.

\fBEVP_PKEY_get_utf8_string_param() get a key pkey \s-1UTF8\s0 string value into a buffer str of maximum size max_buf_sz associated with a name of \fIkey_name. The maximum size must be large enough to accommodate the string value including a terminating \s-1NUL\s0 byte, or this function will fail. If out_len is not \s-1NULL,\s0 *out_len is set to the length of the string not including the terminating \s-1NUL\s0 byte. The required buffer size not including the terminating \s-1NUL\s0 byte can be obtained from *out_len by calling the function with str set to \s-1NULL.\s0

\fBEVP_PKEY_get_octet_string_param() get a key pkey's octet string value into a buffer buf of maximum size max_buf_sz associated with a name of key_name. If out_len is not \s-1NULL,\s0 *out_len is set to the length of the contents. The required buffer size can be obtained from *out_len by calling the function with buf set to \s-1NULL.\s0

"NOTES"
Header "NOTES" These functions only work for \s-1EVP_PKEY\s0s that contain a provider side key.
"RETURN VALUES"
Header "RETURN VALUES" \fBEVP_PKEY_gettable_params() returns \s-1NULL\s0 on error or if it is not supported.

All other methods return 1 if a value associated with the key's key_name was successfully returned, or 0 if there was an error. An error may be returned by methods EVP_PKEY_get_utf8_string_param() and \fBEVP_PKEY_get_octet_string_param() if max_buf_sz is not big enough to hold the value. If out_len is not \s-1NULL,\s0 *out_len will be assigned the required buffer size to hold the value.

"EXAMPLES"
Header "EXAMPLES" .Vb 1 #include <openssl/evp.h> \& char curve_name[64]; unsigned char pub[256]; BIGNUM *bn_priv = NULL; \& /* * NB: assumes \*(Aqkey\*(Aq is set up before the next step. In this example the key * is an EC key. */ \& if (!EVP_PKEY_get_utf8_string_param(key, OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_GROUP_NAME, curve_name, sizeof(curve_name), &len)) { /* Error */ } if (!EVP_PKEY_get_octet_string_param(key, OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_PUB_KEY, pub, sizeof(pub), &len)) { /* Error */ } if (!EVP_PKEY_get_bn_param(key, OSSL_PKEY_PARAM_PRIV_KEY, &bn_priv)) { /* Error */ } \& BN_clear_free(bn_priv); .Ve
