.. 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'.

Title "LIFE_CYCLE-PKEY 7"
LIFE_CYCLE-PKEY 7 "2023-08-01" "3.0.10" "OpenSSL"
For nroff, turn off justification. Always turn off hyphenation; it makes
way too many mistakes in technical documents.
"NAME"
life_cycle-pkey - The PKEY algorithm life-cycle
"DESCRIPTION"
Header "DESCRIPTION" All public keys (PKEYs) go through a number of stages in their life-cycle:
"start" 4
Item "start" This state represents the \s-1PKEY\s0 before it has been allocated. It is the starting state for any life-cycle transitions.
"newed" 4
Item "newed" This state represents the \s-1PKEY\s0 after it has been allocated.
"decapsulate" 4
Item "decapsulate" This state represents the \s-1PKEY\s0 when it is ready to perform a private key decapsulation operation.
"decrypt" 4
Item "decrypt" This state represents the \s-1PKEY\s0 when it is ready to decrypt some ciphertext.
"derive" 4
Item "derive" This state represents the \s-1PKEY\s0 when it is ready to derive a shared secret.
"digest sign" 4
Item "digest sign" This state represents the \s-1PKEY\s0 when it is ready to perform a private key signature operation.
"encapsulate" 4
Item "encapsulate" This state represents the \s-1PKEY\s0 when it is ready to perform a public key encapsulation operation.
"encrypt" 4
Item "encrypt" This state represents the \s-1PKEY\s0 when it is ready to encrypt some plaintext.
"key generation" 4
Item "key generation" This state represents the \s-1PKEY\s0 when it is ready to generate a new public/private key.
"parameter generation" 4
Item "parameter generation" This state represents the \s-1PKEY\s0 when it is ready to generate key parameters.
"verify" 4
Item "verify" This state represents the \s-1PKEY\s0 when it is ready to verify a public key signature.
"verify recover" 4
Item "verify recover" This state represents the \s-1PKEY\s0 when it is ready to recover a public key signature data.
"freed" 4
Item "freed" This state is entered when the \s-1PKEY\s0 is freed. It is the terminal state for all life-cycle transitions.
