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