DESCRIPTION
EVP_KEYEXCH_fetch() fetches the key exchange implementation for the
given algorithm from any provider offering it, within the criteria
given by the properties. See "ALGORITHM FETCHING" in crypto(7) for
further information.
The returned value must eventually be freed with EVP_KEYEXCH_free(3).
EVP_KEYEXCH_free(3) decrements the reference count for the EVP_KEYEXCH
structure. Typically this structure will have been obtained from an
earlier call to EVP_KEYEXCH_fetch(). If the reference count drops to 0
then the structure is freed. If the argument is NULL, nothing is done.
EVP_KEYEXCH_up_ref() increments the reference count for an EVP_KEYEXCH
structure.
EVP_KEYEXCH_get0_provider() returns the provider that exchange was
fetched from.
EVP_KEYEXCH_is_a() checks if exchange is an implementation of an
algorithm that's identifiable with name.
EVP_KEYEXCH_get0_name() returns the algorithm name from the provided
implementation for the given exchange. Note that the exchange may have
multiple synonyms associated with it. In this case the first name from
the algorithm definition is returned. Ownership of the returned string
is retained by the exchange object and should not be freed by the
caller.
EVP_KEYEXCH_names_do_all() traverses all names for the exchange, and
calls fn with each name and data.
EVP_KEYEXCH_get0_description() returns a description of the keyexch,
meant for display and human consumption. The description is at the
discretion of the keyexch implementation.
EVP_KEYEXCH_do_all_provided() traverses all key exchange
implementations by all activated providers in the library context
libctx, and for each of the implementations, calls fn with the
implementation method and data as arguments.
EVP_KEYEXCH_gettable_ctx_params() and EVP_KEYEXCH_settable_ctx_params()
return a constant OSSL_PARAM(3) array that describes the names and
types of key parameters that can be retrieved or set by a key exchange
algorithm using EVP_PKEY_CTX_get_params(3) and
EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_params(3).
RETURN VALUES
EVP_KEYEXCH_fetch() returns a pointer to a EVP_KEYEXCH for success or
NULL for failure.
EVP_KEYEXCH_up_ref() returns 1 for success or 0 otherwise.
EVP_KEYEXCH_names_do_all() returns 1 if the callback was called for all
names. A return value of 0 means that the callback was not called for
any names.
EVP_KEYEXCH_is_a() returns 1 of exchange was identifiable, otherwise 0.
EVP_KEYEXCH_gettable_ctx_params() and EVP_KEYEXCH_settable_ctx_params()
return a constant OSSL_PARAM(3) array or NULL on error.
